How heavy can you bench press for reps (10x8 or better) with dumbbells, and how long have you been lifting?

never heard this

I usually do 3x11 with 65 lbs each hand. I'll be trying for 70 tomorrow. I'm on a cut.

75kg 5x5 been lifting for 8 weeks

2pl8 3x5 on a 3-1-3, could be more but I get a good pump and soreness lasts about 3 days
7-8 months

50 kg dumbbells, 10x8
lifting for 3 month

175lbs
5 months

2ish years
90lbs (each hand) inclined for 8 is my record

oh wait i read the thread wrong

i do 50s but its after i barbell bench press

Redpill me on flat dumbbell bench. I do dumbbell incline after bench usually, but interested in trying flat dumbbells. Heard they work great for chest, does anyone do them instead of barbell bench?

it's completely arbitrary and you know it fucking retard

if it's so arbitrary then why do so many people do it?

absolutely nobody does 10x8, in fact I've never even seen that format written out you turbosperg

No one does it you fucking dumbass. 10x8 means 10 series of 8 repetitions, that's retarded.

That's what I do because I feel less likely to fuck up. I know I could drop it on my face but that motivates me more than getting stuck under a bar. Besides that weird mental stuff, get a good stretch to the chest and have to work to stabilize a bit more.

Literally how? What's unusual about that? Plenty of people do that.

35lbs each hand 3x12. Today is first week of month two.

Last year before my trip to Brazil, I after lifting for about 4 months barely made 1pl8 on the bench, but I sorta half-assed it and didn't do well. This time, I'm sticking to discipline and diet and hope to get to 1pl8 by the end of this month and aiming for 2pl8 before my Iceland trip end of July.

>10x8
Who would do such a retarded setxrep scheme? I do 5x12 with 85lbs with a pause

never do flat with db, never do db before either bench or ohp so I do 3x14 with 40's once I am already exhausted, I would be able to do more but for some god damn reason my gym skips from 40's to 55's so I have to work with that weight.

glad to see other bros do 10 sets of 8 reps

its the BEST way to MAXIMIZE gains

If you can do 10 sets of 8 reps then you need to be lifting heavier, faggot

this.

You increase the weight again and try and hit 10x8 with the new weight

Why the fuck do I always get a good pump/burn with dumbbell chest press or pec deck but NEVER bench press?

bump, im the same way

>2019
>still not doing 10x8 on all exercises

Bench press doesn't isolate the pecs like other exercises do. Your chest does shoulder flexion and ADDUCTION across midline. You should be isolating with those movements to feel it the most.

>10x8
What the fuck? That’s GVT tier. I don’t do more than 5 working sets on any given exercise

>I've done is 50lbs each hand so 100lbs total.
not how it works buddeh

like 40kg sempai

lmao this is your brain on creatine kids

5x5 or nothing.

That said, probably 60 lbs if I was really motivated. I'd feel safer saying 55 lbs.

based

lifted for the first time this week and i could do 30kg 8x3 :)

>10x8

why the fuck would i ever do something so retarded

what kind of retard even does 10x8

why would you do 3 reps 8 times? weird

132lbs per hand for 10 reps, lifting 8 years

>never heard of volume training

5 months
Incline bench press with 25 kg (56lb?) dumbbells x10
I assume around 30-35 flat bench
