guys help me out ive been stalling at a novice level bench for 2 months (255 pause bench). thing is I dont want to eat more because I am at thw level where I am looking pretty fat (5'8 200lbs) but if I cut I will lose my bench gainz. is it impossible for me to make bench gainz while on a maintenance? if no what is a good program? I wanted to get to 275 before I started a cut so far ive been programming my bench myself using an intensity day and a volime day

Wow why do girls keep blocking me

Fucking Stacy can't comprehend the sheer and utter mass of a real man

Don't be a pussy and cut. You're probably fat enough to keep making gains for a little bit.

do more volume and cut

post body

literally 0 chest

Asking this because important to know if I'm retarded.
Let's say my working set is 170lbs on bench for 3x5. Do I work my way up to 170 lbs by doing 3x5 on lower weight, or does it not matter and the actual 170lbs is the only one I need to do 3x5 on. I wonder how much strength gains have a I lost doing 3x5 before I hit 170

Yeah that's what I'm going for, exclusively done close grip for several years now. I should be back at 120kg soon enough after my 20kg cut lol.

Yes can you believe I'm down 20kg my oh my

bench press is the best gauge of RAW PHYSICAL STRENGTH. you only downplay this because you're a pudgy, weak little shit of a manlet with an equally embarrassing bench press.

nobody gives a shit that you can bounce your morbidly obese gut off of your legs for your little bullshit wide stance "squat". nobody cares about your 5 inch ROM sumo "deadlift".

bench. press. is. king.

170lbs for 3x5 means doing 170lbs for 3x5, lmao. We're reaching brainlet levels that shouldn't be possible.

The answer to your second question is zero gains lost.

hey, nice... frame

>bench for 3x5

guess how i know you've got a shit bench

How come all the bench presses I can find always say max load weight of 100kg and max user weight of 100kgs
That's a total of 200kgs.
Is that really useful in the long run?

Yep, half a decade of lifting really paying off, these are the results of hardwork and dedication.

Most retarded thing I've read in these generals.

Would people think I am an autism if I bought my own Ohio power bar to leave at the gym? Their regular bars are p shit and it's not easy for squat or deadlift

I alternate often, I do 3x5/ 5x5. And yes my bench is shit, coming back from injury my max was 205 >still shit
My question was before I reach my working set do I do 3x5 up to 170 and then I do the 3x5 on 170. I would do like 155 3x5, 165 3x5, 170 3x5. Unsure if this was making me more fatigue In pushing heavier weight

3x5 is shit volume for bench, bruh.

What you recommend.

Which will take more time, getting my deadlift from 170 to 180 or getting my bench press from 90 to 100?

Current bodyweight is somewhere in the mid-seventies.

Bench

>70 lb body weight
That's unhealthy. I'd get that up before your bench or deadlift

more volume, at least 30 bench reps per day, 3x a week

Oh boy, we have a 250 lb intermediate bencher here.

bench is easier, just do more volume lmao

I already bench 3 times a week. I'll do 5x6. Really want to hit 2 plates bench. Started with the bar when I started lifting.

Thanks.
Which one of these three backwards countries are you from?

how strong are you? how normie is the gym? the owners will like you, youre basically donating hundreds of dollars.

I'm sort of strong, enough to generate enough bar whip that it's a problem. It's actually kind of a powerlifting gym but everyone except me and my two friends competes SPF so they use specialty bars. Probably just gonna lock it up in the corner for cool people only

nah, i blow that out of the water, but i'm detecting some SERIOUSLY strong projection from this sub 185 pound bench pressing shitter. post lifts/body. i guarantee you're total shit, faggot.

Fuck off Hank you fat faggot

Yeah fuck off hank you faggot

>i blow that out of the water
How much do ya bench?

I dont know who hank is, but it sounds like he can suck a bag of dicks.

Yeah fuck hank hate that guy

Fuck sean too

ok here. I think I need to lose like 30-40 pounds. I also have a 405 squat and a 160 ohp will I lose a lot of strength?

No, you can cut a lot of that fat, quickly and lose minimal strength because you're definitely above 25%.

the doctor said i can't bench or deadlift for a week i am sadness

Do it anyway?

ok
on a cut do you train high intensity or high volume?

not one argument from any of these losers with a shit bench. instead they're obsessed with some hank faggot from some little inside joke of theirs. sad.

That's pretty mixed as to what works best but you want to keep it to something you can recover from.

i did bench but it hurt

How are you that fat at 200 pounds wew lad

honestly yeah you will lose some of that strength, you're really fucking fat and this cut will take much longer than you think it will

God put me on this earth to turn women gay

Nice blog

>Just so we're clear, either people want to do 5/3/1 or they don't. I really want to help people, but if they won't take my advice there's nothing I can do. That's fine by me. I don't fight the battles. I just don't fucking care.

F

I grip the bar with my supinated hand first.

You're weird.

That you have these concerns confirms you are, in fact, an autism. Get over it and do what's best for you. That a proper power bar for squats benefits everyone else as well is a necessary evil.

200kg looking like an opener maybe?

I bought a lot of stuff for my gym. It was very appreciated by the regulars there and it even attracted a few new members. I havnt had to ask or wait to use it in 3 yrs too cause everyones pretty cool and shares. I bought a few bars, bumper plates , and some other things.

I went for a dealift max back in may and used hook grip. My thumb was cracking a lot for a few weeks and hurt a bit then stopped. Now months later it hurts all the fucking time and I hadn't been using hook grip. Any advice on how to rehab my thumb?

sounds like you might have done some tendon damage? hookgrip is not inherently dangerous but like everything, if done incorrectly you can case issues. If you only pulled hook once then had issues months later it's most likely something external thats causing your problems not the grip itself.

but you didn't even hit depth...

t. weak shitter with a sub 2 plate squat that can't hit parallel so he nut hugs for klokov on Jow Forums in order to throw people off of his cucked bitch trail.

Looks like a last warmup to me

nice gyno...kid

gym max is 227.5kg atm so I was thinking 200kg would be a nice conservative opener to gauge how I feel.

you fucking idiot

stalling on bench for two months? really? have you tried just fucking benching for any meaningful amount of time?

bench 3 times a week under a structured program, get your protein, get your sleep, and quit your bitching

>ive been stalling at a novice level bench for 2 months

How can one person look so doughy while having minimal stomach fat? Is it just a bad photo?

Not much muscle and unflattering light.

I want to buy an SSB, can anyone recommend one from inside Australia? My old gym had one, but it was 20kg and whipped like crazy with babby weights so I'd like to get a heavier one

The rogue one looks good but it's a bit pricey

Big tits? Flat ass?

You're thinking of fat retard.

No her too, well except no tits either

I know you vetoed it but ive been having 150-200g of peanut butter a day and 6 eggs and feeling pretty good. Other thsn that, beef and milk.

I'm actually doing a rich piana level stomach vacuum

If I squat 2x a week my knees feel great and I feel fresh, but squatting 3x a week with a bar just wrecks me, time to do some belt squat or lmao lunges

200kg opener
215kg second
225-230kg third

yeah im sure its the freq and not whatever you do on the third day

210 220 227-230 would be better imo

It's Halloween. I hope everyone's getting as rickity rickity rekt as I am.

He's never posted his wife. I hope you haven't been stalking.

>If I squat 2x a week my knees feel great
Dont squat 3x per week then, retard.
