Do you think i can bench 225 in 5 months time?

[dontknowname001]

Currently only benching 100 x 5 lol

im following the lyle mcdonald generic upper lower program. If i eat enough do you think this goal is possible?

[TonyJH]

No.

if you have superman genetics and eat at a 5k surplus getting fat as fuk, then MAYBE. but it's pretty obvious that you don't have superman genetics because most people that do can bench atleast 165x5 before they even start lifting

my prediction is 11.2 months before you can bench 225

[dontknowname001]

so how much you think i can manage within 5 months time? atleast 200x1?

I'm gonna say maybe for a 1rm. If you add 5 pounds to bench a week that's 100 lbs. So 200x5 and so you can be very close to 225 x1. Just lift and eat tho.

Pshhh 165 for reps at most in a year and in 5 months i predict 135 don't set unrealistic goals but you can most likely reach 225 in 2 in a half years if you stay with a consistent program.

Ofcourse you can but it is highly unprobable. The thing is you might need a spotters help to get you there. I have noticed that spotters helping you with the last few reps significantly increase your strength gains quickly.

Depends - do you have long arms and are you a natural puller? It took me over a year to hit a 200 bench but I was deadlifting 350 when I was benching 180... I have ridiculously long arms and I can row more than I can bench. If you are short and stout, you may be able to hit like 185-200 with proper form.

[OmgWtfNvm]

if you do blss and if you can get 25lb+ on bench each month lol its possibly. don't doubt it

[alexistheboss]

I started at lower than 100lb bench press, and can now do 235 1rep.
I been working out 5months....

[LlamaWithARifle]

Providing you eat right, lift with good form and focus on progressive overload then you should get pretty close to your goal. Certainly not impossible to hit 225x5 in 5 months but won't be easy.

This.

Some herp said 165 in ayear? Fukcing rofl. If you study OP, get down your bench form, and then start eating and on a calorie surplus making sure diet is in check, you could probably get close to 200x1 in 5 months. Maybe even 225x1, depends on how hard you push/work on form.

[Ensix]

Probably not.

If it were so simple for everyone.....i'm lifting exactly 5 months and increased my bench by only 50-60lbs. And i can't bench my bodyweight yet.

well I gained quite a bit of muscle, but I've been bulking for those 5 months at 4k cals a day, with lots of protein/carbs...
I lift 6days a week for 2-3hrs.
I do cardio nearly every day 20mins.

And lift 6-12reps always.

I went from 35kg Bench press to 105kg Bench press in those 5 months.
And gained 11kg (25lbs) of weight, and went up only 2% BF.
