Starting lifts

I don't understand, someone is lying
how do some people on this board start with 70kg bench others can barely bench the bar in the first week.
What causes these insane fluctuations?

how active of a life you've been living

obviously someone who's thrown haybales all of their childhood is going to do better than someone who was playing WoW all day.

some people played sports before
some people fucked around with brosplits before taking lifting seriously
there are 0 (zero) previously sedentary people who start with 1pl8 b ench

Hey don't talk about brosplits like that, bro

I've been lifting for 4 months and still can't bench 50kg

Life style + genetics.

Thanks for asking me
I am training for 4 years and i can bench 2,5 plates

quads of truth

Its a combination of e statting and exaggeration. I know a friend who lifted for 4 years before getting serious and writing down his workouts, calculating his meals for nutrients, spending 2 hrs at the gym 4 days a week, ect... he then counted that as when he started working out, so instead of telling people he had worked out for 6 years, he'd say 4. Pretty dishonest in my opinion because during those initial 4 years he was still building strength, just not as efficiently. I realized that a lot of dudes do this. Take peoples stats with a grain of salt, they're usually lying to stroke their own egos.

I'm bad at math, my friend would tell people he had worked out for 2 years when really it was 6.

how is this even possible?

There are different reasons for this.
First of all this is an anonymous board, people can say whatever they want and there is no real way for you to confirm or deny it.

Is it possible to start lifting and bench 70kg right away?
Maybe if you're already strong from playing waterball for 8 years like a friend of mine, but the average beginner cannot bench anywhere near 70kg.

I guarantee you that many people on fit simply make up numbers to prove their point or simply stroke their imagenary ego.

If you go to a gym and compare their lifts with those on fit then the average fitizen is like 300% stronger than the average gymgoer.

as others already said, depends on your lifestyle before youve started lifting
Ive played sports, used to go swimming twice a week and often did shit like push ups at home when I was a kid
I could bench around 70kg first time I went to the gym with a few friends, all of ud could do 60+, but all of us had similar active childhood

I have a friend who benched 155x5 on his first day in the gym. Today he barely benches 275 for a single lmao.

I started out lifting 80kg, but I have an entire childhood background of motocross. Stopped racing when I went to college, and started lifting instead

I was sedentary and got 60kg for 2 sets of 5 then couldn’t get the final rep of set 3

I highly doubt that.

Unless your definition of sedentary is different than mine I don't see how somebody could start out benching 1plt without any previous physical activity.

Do you have a gene defect that develops muscles without any stimulation or where did your developed triceps come from?

I’ve been lifting for over a year and still can’t bench 60 kg.
I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with my bench. It’s my worst lift.

SS+Gomad srs

It's called e-stating, OP. Anyone can easily lie on the internet about their starting stats.

1. How many cosmetics and endocrine disruptors your mother was exposed to during pregnancy
2. Whether you lived "Le Vigorous Lad" life and ran and threw things and climbed the monkey bars or literally sat and pushed buttons all day

What's your routine?

Speaking of e-statting, check out this Redditard who claims to be close to deadlifting 800 pounds:

He even made a subreddit to track his routine:

Imagine lifting for 6+ months and still not being able to bench 2pl8 1RM, what a loser one must be to fuck up this hard haha

Doesn't their weight make a huge difference. I was skinnyfat and started at about 115lbx5(I weighed 155lb at 5'9")

My friend who's skinny can barely lift the bar(135lb at 6'1")

I imagine if you're fat your starting lifts will be higher.

I started lifting as an obese 29 year old 289 lb newly recovering alcoholic and started with pressing two 40 lb dumbells. Maybe could have started at 50 if I knew how to try harder like I do now.

I was completely sedentary other than normal activities like working (not manual labor). Take from that what you will.

I have problems with lifting 20kg sack with 2 hands.

I am just passing by the Jow Forums board.

doesnt matter where you start m8, what matters is how much you lift now
its usually just the people that barely reached intermediate competing with each other how fast they got there

What do you think their starting lifts are going to be like?

Honest post and redpilled.

Don't sweat it. I started at 85 pounds ten months ago and I'm benching 2pl8 now.

Add high volume dumbell bench to C and voila
