How much can I increase my bench in a year realistically

[CantStopTheMog]

Been going gym 3 months, 16. First time hitting bench pr I got 105kg (first week), 3 months later I hit 140kg today or 3 plates a side. Is it in any world possible I hit 4 plates in my first year lifting????

if you are being genuine then that is extremely impressive
nothing is impossible, just keep lifting

Gain weight

nah
your bench will slow down significantly within the coming months

160 is possible if you train and eat right

probably not. i wouldn't say hitting two plates first week is either though, Allahu a3lam

Thanks bro, atm it seems like I’m going up 5kg a week

I have no clue what u said at the end but yeah it might be a bit u realistic ngl

Thanks bro, atm it seems like I’m going up 5kg a week

yeah mine was like that
i was going up like 15-20 kilos a month
it will slow down eventually to the point of 2.5-5k a month

 

[CantStopTheMog]

If it slows to 5k a month surely I’ll hit 180

you arent factoring in time off from any reason
injury is likely when benching alot too
which will slow you down alot
some months your bench wont even go up
5kg is like a good month

hmm true. I rarely get injured tho ngl. I have really good form

its not always about form
when you lift heavy consistently for months you become alot more prone to injury

yeah fs bro, I bench 6x a week which is obv way too much so thanks for warning

 

[axttt_]

yeah fs bro, I bench 6x a week which is obv way too much so thanks for warning

yeah that is a crazy amount of volume
if you continue like that its only a matter of time until you get an injury

Yeah bro I’m suprised I ain’t been injured already
