Just life the shit nigga. Dont ask too many questions.

I'm going to take a guess: It might depend on the weight.

I'm going to take a guess: It might depend on the weight.

Same weight ?

 

[Saint Casanova]

Same weight ?

Yes. If you can dumbbell press 50kg on each hand, you should easily bench 120+kg

 

[CEO]

It is harder to do a dumbbell bench press with a given weight than it is to do a barbell bench press with the same total weight.

This is for the same reason it is harder to do a classic barbell bench press than it is to do a smith machine bench press:

A lot more of your muscular effort goes to balancing and stabilizing the weight, and making sure it all goes in the same direction at the same pace.

For instance, in a barbell bench press, indiscriminate contraction of the chest will contribute to lifting the bar without much need for finesse. In a dumbbell bench press, there needs to be a much more precise control on what the dumbbells are doing individually.

DNRcels: Dumbbell bench obv harder.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Yes. I am weaker on db press. It is hard to stabilize while on barbell I can do 120kg for 5 reps easily.

 

[flippasav]

Fuck no. Dumbbells are way easier srs

 

[Debetro]

Same weight ?

You think someone doing 80 kg on bench press can do 40 kg on each hand ?

 

[Willmogulater]

No

What's ur max db press

 

[Debetro]

No

So?

 

[optimisticzoomer]

Just do pull ups and push ups
Having a large chest is pointless anyway (but you could do dips and weighted dips for it)

Pull ups and shoulder-focused push ups is your best bet

 

[Jason Voorhees]

What's ur max db press

45 kgs for db press for 5 reps I dont do one reps maxes on free weights

 

[Debetro]

Yes. I am weaker on db press. It is hard to stabilize while on barbell I can do 120kg for 5 reps easily.

Ok chadpreet. 120 kg in the deepest part of the Gangues.

No.

I'm slowly gaining back my old strength

Lost a lot of strength during thr cut. So I am gaining it back thr progress is slow but steady. Failed the last few sets regardless

I would need to see that to believe it. You seem to be some type of superhuman. Not unusual on .org however, we have a lot of top 0,01% males here.

Deficit handstand pushups are an absolute mogger exercise, basically a bodyweight overhead press. I would add them to a calisthenics routine but it takes a lot of time to build up strength to do it

 

[Coeus]

If you want to be a sick kunt then do incline db press

If you want to be ogre "me lift heavy weight me strong" do bench press

What? Do you even go to the gym. It is not top 0.01%. Top 0.01% would me benching 180-200 kilos. This is like top 5% for someone who has been going to the gym for 2+ years. It is a solid lift but not even close to superman tier. You can find multiple guys who can bench 120 kilos in any gym. Even in my own gym I'm like the 4th or 5th strongest.This guy is lighter than me and benching more

It's not only about your superhuman strenght. You are rich as fuck, caramel skin tone, perfect grades, working for a top multinational, 6'3 and polyglot. Straight up from a fairy tale. Oh and the most important one. 6th user with the most posts on looksmax.org.

I never claimed any of that.I am not rich. I am upper middle class owning a skoda slavia partially financed by my dad doesn't make me rich. I am also dark skinned. I have good grades yes but there are many people in my class better than me. I work for a multinational company yes but it took me months of preparation and ton of rejection. I am also 6'1 and the only foreign language i know is german which i learnt as a part of my engineering curriculum. I am not gifted or privileged in any way. I am just hard worker

@Debetro

Also the regarding my posts. I study at a uni that has 0 attendance policy @loyolaxavvierretard knows which one it is. I just rot here doing stuff in the other tab. This what I do at work also. I like rotting here because this is some of the few places that has low censorship. I do plan to slow down but I enjoy being here

@loyolaxavvierretard look at Chadpreet coming up with le hard work=success cope to trick us. Unbelievable. Do you think he says so on purpose or he really doesn't acknowledge that it's genetics that gave him all the success in life?

It’s proportioned to your bodyweight i guess, people with bigger fat storages are stronger. Expect your strength to go gown a lot when you go below 15%.

No I got told was a loser and was good for nothing a few years back. I have talked about it multiple times. I earned my way through.

@loyolaxavvierretard

Your issue is you compare yourself to people above you. Otherwise what you say is mostly correct

He sees only people above him. Its a sign of ambition.

Yes i am also a fatcel. I never claimed I have a perfect body. Top 0.1% strength at my weight is something like this

 

[Debetro]

These guys are roided. I don't think you can get past 110 kg while natty.

What do you think, is it too late for me at 19? I'm good for nothing loser right now.

Probably true. But your numbers are impressive nonetheless, why do you care? 100kg bench is around top 5% of gym goers, if you will surpass this number once you are very lean you will still be way above most people.

If u cant transcend stay human, if u cant slay go ltr, if u cant ltr go rape, if u cant rape get penis extender, if ur penis extender dont fit go ER, it is as simple as that

More than roids imo it depends on moment arm strength and how the muscle attached to the bone. There powerlifters in my gym lighter and smaller than me who bench more than me. This is why you can see niggas in construction who look like twigs benching inhumane weights.

I was the same at 18. I remember turning 17 full of regrets. I even made a thread about it but I kept trying.

I am a fighter

I started with nothing at all. Dealt with the worst cards, Overbearing parents, shitty childhood, Terrible circumstances. I've lost count of thr number of times people have told me I am good for nothing but I'm still here because of my sheer will power and perseverance and I am proud of it.

I guess that gives me some hope. You found this site at 17-18 and started taking action instantly. I found this site at 14 and never did anything at all to this day. That's my regret.

Arm length also. Shorter arms help massively when it comes to bench press. I am not tall but I have long arms and bench pressing is the hardest lift for me
