>press 2pl8 for workset the first time in my life
>everyone i know is fucking awstruck
>mom unironically asks if i roid
>go on Jow Forums
>"liftin lmao2l8, get lost newfag until you press a bare minimum of lmao3pl8"
is Jow Forums out of touch with the world or am i just a weakling ?
>press
Surely you mean The Press™, also known as the standing barbell overhead press, correct?
No one who lifts here would ever put down someone with a 2pl8 press user.
I was able to bench that the microsecond i paid for my monthly gym fee
>Surely you mean The Press™, also known as the standing barbell overhead press, correct?
n-no
Pretty sure he means bench
Then yeah nobody gives a shit about a 2pl8 bench. OP is a faggot.
If it makes you feel better, OP, I still haven't quite hit 1pl8 on bench yet.
I haven't been lifting too long.
Your gains are admirable, but we will shit on you regardless because you came to Jow Forums for validation. Never expect anything positive from Jow Forums, you fucking retard. Now fuck off and never come back.
What's a workset?
>we
>thinking normie opinions matter about lifting
All of my nonlifting friends were as equally awestruck at my 4pl8 dead as they were my 5pl8 dead
No one wants to see your selfie, faggot.
>be interested in X
>impress people that are not involved in X
>decide to hang around people also interested in X
>they hold you to a higher standard
Do you want to improve or not?
1/2/3/4 is impressive for normal people, bare minimum for Jow Forums autists. Congrats on hitting 2pl8 bench, don't listen to LARPers here lying about how they got 2pl8 bench their first day.
>tell mum about my 585 DL PR
>"omg user you should stop doing that didn't you know your sister got hernia because of her snowboarding injury blah blah"
>tell mom about my 5pl8 DL
>calls me a dyel and kicks me out until I'm at 7pl8
t-thanks
>is a board made up of 90% larping shitheads and robots out of touch with reality
you tell me, chief
lmao2pl8 is entry level user. Don't be disheartened though, you're on your way boy.
Based mom
This.
Fuck off mom
What do you guys consider a plate? Aren't those all different in weight?
Mothers are an impediment to progress due to their concern trolling.
>entry level
>something less than 1% of people can do
Sure kid.
It actually is entry level twink. We're not talking about the whole population of humanity. We're talking about the gym. And more specifically, we're talking about people who do strength training and not just run on the treadmill or pick up a couple 20s and do a couple curls. If you can not bench 225 pounds, you are weak. If you can only bench 225 pounds, you are still weak, but 225 is the entry point into serious strength training on the benchpress. Up until that point, all you are really doing is adding 5lbs to your 5x5 every other day. That is not serious strength training. This is something anyone could do with just a little dedication and drive.
So yes, 225 is entry level you fucking dyel, get off my board.
About tree fiddy
pretty much this. good job user, keep at it
You do realize 40% of Americans are obese right?
I'm talking past overweight, which could mean you're built and just heavy. No, its full on obesity.
The "world" thinks that diet soda will help them lose weight.
The "world" thinks that you can burn fat with fat burning pills.
The "world" thinks that its better to take Alli and forcibly stop their gut from processing all the fat they shove down their gullot, even if it means shitting liquid uncontrollably all day.
The "world" is full of fat losers who need to cope with your success.
The "world" is out of touch with US. We're the ones who have figured out the truth, they live in the dark, where they can guzzle soda and call pizza a vegetable.
>>press 2pl8
You mean Bench?
While 2pl8 is considered entry level, it's still more than most people can bench. In that sense it might impress folks who don't work out often, but anyone who has lifted for more than a year should be past that point.
Congrats on the personal record OP, keep up the good work.
If you can't ohp 3pl8 you should kys
It's good but in no way impressive.
>he hasn't hit 9/10/11/12
this place is mostly fat people roleplaying after they read an art of manliness article

>onions protein shakes
>tfw you hit 9/11
>entire family tells me to stop deadlifting every time I mention a milestone
Can't stop me

Dbcurled 80lbs the other day. It was pretty scene
That guy’s curling. Look at the bar type and his grip position.
>tfw I as a fitness newbie can outbench half of a fucking fitness board
Jesus Christ why the fuck am I even here you guys are larping faggots.
What is 1/2/3/4? 1 plate overhead press, 2 plate bench press, 3 plate squat and 4 plate deadlift?
You're on track for 1/2/3/4
How are your OHP, squat and diddly?
Bench press is a meaningless pressing movement that barely has any practical strength. You barely use your lower chest that way in anything physically taxing besides a bench press. Better off doing dips.
