Friendly reminder that a "pl8" refers to a 25kg olympic bumper plate, meaning 1/2/3/4 is equal to 70/120/170/200kg, or 155/265/375/485lbs
Only dyels think 135/225/315/405 is making it

Hudson Barnes
Please don’t take this from me
Austin Brooks
>Can do 135x5 on OHP
>Can't do 225x1 on bench
What's wrong with me
Andrew Myers
220kg
Noah Myers
Same, just means our chest is still lagging. I have been able to do 1pl8 OHP for a month now and still cant get my bench up yo 2pl8. Also try different grips on the bench, or maybe try db press for a change.
Also OP is wrong. 20kg is the standard most recognized. Which is why we have 45 lb plates.
Joshua Lee
Sorry, I mis-typed
>20kg is the standard most recognized. Which is why we have 45 lb plates
t. DYEL
Both powerlifting and Olympic lifting use 25kg plates
Jonathan Allen
>measuring in pl8s and not stones
fucking dyels
t. just OHP'd 4 stones
Luke James
>Both powerlifting and Olympic lifting use 25kg plates
yeah, but they measure lifts in kilograms, not pl8s you sperg
only Jow Forums autists use pl8 as a unit of measure and the autists chose 20kg for the definition of pl8.
pl8 is a unit, just like stone is a unit that is equal to 14 pounds *by definition* (while a pound itself is exactly 0.45359237kg, by definition).
Cooper Carter
1/2/3/4 refers to bodyweight you fucking dyels
OHP 1x your bodyweight
Squat 3x your bodyweight
Evan Mitchell
200kg weightlifting total is more impressive than 1/2/3/4
Jack Scott
thanks for these facts, may natural and non-chemical gains come to you all who don't cheat on their pl8 w8 m8
Kevin Perry
>400 kg deadlift
ok will do buddy
Lucas Russell
135 press is probably the easiest of the four, you're normal.
Sebastian James
if you want to be considered an average lifter you will
Leo Harris
Changes nothing except deadlift, which is stubbornly stuck at 440 x 5
Zachary Russell
well yeah 1/2/3/4 is sub 200 wilks
Alexander Wilson
no i want to be better than average
better prepare for that 600 kg deadlift
Nicholas Watson
b-but the bumper plates at my gym are 20kg
Juan Jackson
>his gym doesn't have pl8s
not an excuse lmao
Nicholas Rodriguez
Nice, now we are talking. probably only 6 months away if you are close to 400kg deadlift now
Joseph Cooper
>155/265/375/485lbs
These are actually much better standards for what's "strong"
Dominic Thomas
Really? There seems to be a lot of anons with sub-135 ohp's while having achieved other parts of 1/2/3/4
Gabriel Lewis
How long have you been lifting? 1 plate as in 25kg bumper plate or 45lb iron plate? Christ all mighty
Austin Turner
4 1/2 years. Idk what to do anymore man
Samuel Thompson
if you barely overhead 135 pounds and cant bench 225 pounds after almost 5 years, you might want to get your hormones checked assuming your food and routine are on point
Andrew Sullivan
how did you lift 4 of them at the same time?
Carson Campbell
Are they, though? Both of those presses are still weak. More like a good standard f or t-rex mode
Carson Wood
Wow Jesus. Your gains are like a thin girl's
Parker Rodriguez
WRONG
Friendly reminder that a "pl8" refers to 100lbs (45.4kg) plate (pic related)
Meaning 1/2/3/4 equates to 245lbs/445lbs/645lbs/845lbs
Only faggot dyels like OP thinks 155/265/375/485lbs is making it
Adam Adams
Im the dude you replied to, I just started ~5 months ago. Been actually taking it seriously for the past 2 months. I was a track/xc-fag back in high school and didnt work out at all in college. So I started with almost 0 mass.
Anyways, my original post was just stating that 1pl8 ohp is pretty easy to get to, but the 2pl8 bench takes time especially for undertdeveloped chestlets like myself. Still, 5 months in and I'm only 40 lbs off for 1rm. I don't think it's bad
Isaac Richardson
>trying to cheat 1/2/3/4 by not using 2.5kg collars
JFC op go ahead and add 5kgs to all those numbers for me bud.
Parker Rivera
Yeah that wasn't my experience either. I got to 315 Squat way before 135 OHP and I still can't get 225 on my bench.
Aiden Reyes
Not that guy but I can do 2p8 bench for 3-5 reps and 1p8 OHP for 10reps and still barely grind out 3pl8 squat. Havent even attempted 4p8 DL yet.
Dont feel too bad. Different people have different natural advantages/disadvantages
Brandon Bell
Does it matter what exact method you use? If its easier to sit and push more weight, maybe thats part of it? Doesnt seen like the 1/2/3/4 part is clearly defined in places leaving 0 ambiguity.
Isaac Gutierrez
>sit and push more weight
If you're talking about seated OHP, then it's a seated OHP and not a standard OHP.
1/2/3/4 is everything pure vanilla with standard barbells and weights. Since it's a bullshit strength standard made up online, there isn't a crystal clear consensus of what makes up the actual weight values.
Caleb Gonzalez
what the fuck are all these numbers with slashes inbetween? I never understood this.
Justin Walker
only 4 chan trolls would push for anything other than 135/225/315/405
Wyatt Robinson
1/2/3/4
is
>135 lbs overhead press
>225 lbs bench press
>315 lbs back squat
>405 lbs deadlift
The standard weight of a barbell is 45lbs, most gyms are equipped with 45lb plates being the largest available weight. One plate on either side of the barbell is 1pl8, two plates on either side being 2pl8 etc.
These threads consist entirely of people trying to trick new lifters into believing they're inferior men for not meeting a certain strength standard within a certain amount of time, and of course bickering over what the exact definition of it all even is.
Sebastian Butler
>what is shitposting for fun
Hunter Russell
Jace Smith
based and bloatpilled
Cameron Fisher
what? how do you know it's that number of pounds? I really don't get it.
