Approaching 1pl8 bench

90, 45 + 45

It took me 1 year to go from 1pl8 to 2 pl8's with shoulder injury

lbs?

No, inches

Thanks

20kg then, I see.

It's 135lbs you stupid brainlet.

No dumbass, the weights on both side cancel out the bar weight. So 45+45+45-45=90

Plus the bar, which is 45 pounds totaling 135 lbs in Freedom units

1 pl8 is a metric measurement. It's the weight of the bar 20lbs + 1 standard plate (highest weight of 30lbs) but since the bar has two sides you multiply it by 3 because you have to count the bar. So 30 + 30 + 30 + 20 = 110

110 lbs is one plate you fucking morons

Jesus Christ

> highest weight of 30lbs
No 20kg plates in murica? Surprising.

the bar weighs 45 lbs retard

The bar never changes weight. You add weight to the bar, you don't add more bars. So you don't count the bar as weight added..

you're still lifting the bar

if you're starting from nothing you don't count the bar as 0 lbs and say you're bench pressing thin air you fucking retard

>not counting the bar
Fucking boomers

>standard plate (highest weight of 30lbs)
You're not american are you?

Can I make this simple?
1 pl8 = 45lbs.
Saying “I bench 1pl8” means they bench 135 lbs.
45x3 (1 pl8 on both sides and the bar)

If you bench the bar you are benching 0, the bar dictates what exercise you are doing, if I squat the bar I am squatting 0, because it wouldn't be a weighted squat without the bar.. it wouldn't be a weighted bench press without the bar.. the bar is 0 weight lifted

Thank you my kind burger comrade.

get a load of this retard

You’re welcome euro-bro.
Back to my gainzburger

> 1 pl8 = 45lbs
> 1pl8 bench = 135lbs
>45x3 (3)

this doesn't even make sense boomer

1 pl8 is 1 pl8 on each side, 45+45 (20kg + 20kg) = 90lbs (40kg) for 1 pl8

>30 years old
>100kg
It sounds like you need to bench more.

What are you guys even arguing about? You all agree on how much is being lifted and that "1 pl8" unambiguously describes it. Who gives a fuck how you translate that into lbs?

Let me in on a little secret. No one. And I Mean NO ONE who actually lifts counts the bar. Your 1pl8 is only 90 pounds. You telling everyone else 135 is nothing but nonsense and any actual lifter is laughing at you for thinking you’re actually benching 1pl8.
>he’s so insecure about his lifts he has to add the bar
Lmao at these dyel Asians

There’s a few anons in here larping and shitposting fishing for replies so they can say
>counting the bar
And act all smug when really they’re just wasting time on a brazilian pyramid scheme building web browser

This. Counting the bar is a meme created to fraud DYEL's. Please do not count the bar, you are embarrassing yourself. Say your actual lifts (don't add the bar weight...)

It’s so easy to spot the new fags on this board. Check my pic an you’ll all understand. Now leave.

>tfw bench 8x65kg
>8x100kg seems so far away
Realistically how long will this take

a couple of months if youre diligent and consistent

>that boomer who has to one-up happy beginners at an anonymous bonsai growing forum
My excuse is that at your age I will stand at the beginning of my happy family, so secure in the body I built in my youth, and without any need for cope, that I probably only will bench bodyweight.

>manlets actually believe this

This thread is fucking hilarious. Thanks Jow Forums.

Good job. You're probably going to get frustrated and want to quit if you see other people progressing faster than you, but don't let it get you down. If you want to be bigger and stronger, just keep going. Your progress is the progress that matters.

>being this new and a 30 year old boomer.

>Bodyweight squats
I know it's b8 but some people here are stupid enough to believe this

are you trolling or what? 1pl8 is 90 lbs:
the bar (45) + 1 plate (45) = 90

kek this is 'tism I come to Jow Forums for

before somebody can bench a full 45lbs you have them do dumbbell presses with really low weight until they can do a full 45lb bar.

Most people start with being able to do at least 45lbs but you have some people who might have suffered atrophy who can't do an empty bar.

I could bench 1 plate when I was 15

Trolling. 1 plate is 45 lbs or around 20 kg. 25 lb plates are common too, 35 lb plates are made but rare. I’ve never seen a 30 in my life.

I have 35s in my /homegym/ but I never use them because it’s easier to throw on a 10 with a 25 and nobodies gonna throw on a 10 with a 35 when you can look cool and put on another 45.

Agree. I think that’s why you never see 35s and why I wouldn’t bother with them. We had a set in my college gym and if I didn’t keep seeing them used in CL I’d probably think I imagined them.

>100kg
>220 in freedom units
>less than 2 pl8
weak shit man

> Bodyweight under 100kg

>Finally bench 2pl8 for 2 reps
>Go on Jow Forums to brag and put others down

I’m sorry for your sad life user

I hope that in the parallel world Amy dominates me.
