Anyone else been lifting for years but only just hit 1/2/3/4 for reps?

No I quit going to the gym I just do high rep calisthenics
Levi Ortiz
What the fuck does this shit even mean I will not read the fucking sticky
Aiden Ortiz
Read the sticky, Satan.
Brayden Brooks
Plates and big 4 lifts
Daniel Robinson
OHP/Bench/Squat/Diddly
they represent how many pl8 on each exercise. Its a pretty good benchmark for people starting out and looking to set 6 month / 1 year goals. Also nice quads.
Nathaniel Perry
Lessen the weight?
Mason Taylor
it means 100 lbs for OHP 200lbs for bench 300lbs for the deadlift and 400lbs for the squat
Anthony Lopez
wrong
Gavin Martinez
ah yes i mixed up the deadlift and the squat my bad bro
Carson Young
I started three weeks ago and I'm at 0.5/1/1.5/2 for reps. I want to hit 1/2/3/4 for reps in ~1 year and then transition to a more hypertrophy based routine. Is this doable?
It doesn't. It means a 1pl8 OHP, 2pl8 bench, etc etc where 1pl8 means you are lifting the bar and 1 (one) 20kg/45lb plate on each end.
Thomas Cox
>counting the bar
Thomas Jones
it's not hundreds of pounds, it's by amount of plates on each side of the bar, 1 plate on each side for ohp, 2 plates on each side for bench, 3 for squat, 4 for deadlift which translates to
135/225/315/405
i can't believe i answered this fucking troll post seriously fuck you
Bentley Garcia
>quads for not reading the sticky
the absolute state of this board...
Brayden Davis
Why are the women laughing? I dont get it.
Bentley Reyes

Angel Moore
1 plate on each side is 2 plates though. Also the bar weighs 20 kg(same as a plate) which means 1 pl8 OHP is lifting the bar
Mason King
I'm at 0.5/0.4/1/1.5
>inb4 dyel
I know
Grayson Gonzalez
I'll answer you, but only because you're satan.
1/2/3/4 refers to a strength standard
1 plate overhead press (60kg)
2 plate bench (100kg)
3 plate squat (140kg)
4 plate deadlift (180kg)
it's the bare minimum requirement to not be considered weak, if you can't do one of those lifts then you're weak
Juan Peterson
Iv been lifting for 3 months and stalled already
Feels bad man
Easton Price
Bait as fuck dude. Who would train 1 year to OHP just the bar
Benjamin Nguyen
Is this bait? You're really wrong. 3pl8 by your standards is 1pl8 for everyone else, sorry buddy.
Robert Watson
>smaller bench than OHP
Wait a minute, my nigga. Literally how?
Grayson Cox
oh shit i meant 0.8 bench lmao
Hudson Phillips
I count the bar for OHP but not bench for an ego boost
Leo Foster
Started SL 3 weeks ago. Gonna hit 1pl8 squat on my next session, and I'm super excited. This is a huge milestone for me. Overall lifts so far are:
70/110/130/165
in lbs. Deads feel a bit easy so far still, but OHP progression is getting pretty damn tough. Bench and squat feel like they're improving at the rate the program recommends. Hope my OHP can hold out for a while longer. I'd like to get a lot closer to 1pl8 before I start to lose beginner gains.
