Meanwhile... @gymcellragefuel who benches 315
5'10 isnt tallfag height
You’re taller than a good chunk of the people on this forum
Just because I "mog majority of the forum" doesnt mean I am not a manlet
What do you qualify as a manlet?
Anything below 6'0
Then a 245 bench is really impressive. I'm 6'0" and 155 pounds. My max bench is only 135, but I can do 10 pull ups in a row. I have some of the shittiest muscle genetics out there for bench press, but I guess my back muscles are alright. My arms are long and my shoulders are narrow. Just be careful you don't get injured pushing yourself that hard. I got a left hip labral tear and hip impingement from heavy deadlifts and my hip is fucked up for life. Surgery failed to fix it. Being an incel is bad enough. Being an incel with fucked up joints is worse.
Do you regularly go to the gym?
Yeah I shouldnt be pushing that hard and I will learn from it.
Yeah, discipline forces me to
I was talking to the guy I quoted.
Yes. I couldn't even do I pull up at the start and worked up to 10 over time. At the beginning I couldn't even do one push up but worked my way up to 33. I forget what my bench was initially, but it was way less than 135. I just don't have the best muscle genetics and anatomy for strength. I'd say I do ok for how shitty my muscle genetics were to start with.
Never began for you.
Based
thats manlet cutoff height, you dont mog shit being 5'10 nowadays (even foids are as tall as him now.)
Yeah, if you aren't a powerlifter there is no sense risking injury. Even pro bodybuilders don't go for max PRs that often and usually stick to weights they can do 8-12 reps with so the injury risk is low and the gain is high. I always stick to weights I can get at least 8 reps with nowadays because I don't want another injury.
Gym Reaper be like:
I do maxout since I am not a bodybuilder so I can increase strength for athleticism
If that's the case then it's amazing you managed to get up to 245 from that low of a base strength level.
Nice Nice
Understandable. I have fairly weak ligaments and joint cartilage that gets injured easily so it's just not worth the risk for me.
225 was my max senior year then it went to 235 after graduation and then months later it dropped to 205 then I got back up to 245
That's really good
lifting like that for me is outta the question knowing my shitty muscle genetics, height and body type.
(5'4 in my case)
I have a permanent spine injury still affecting my bench to this day which is why I love squats
It sure didn't. Being skinny was actually one of the main reasons I was bullied in school. I have intestinal issues that make it very difficult to gain weight, and I have a very fast metabolism. It took 2 years of hard work at the gym just to barely pass as an average guy who doesn't go to the gym.
Brutal
"BuT oNly 1% oF pEopLE gO tO thE GYm"
Lifting in the 8-12 rep range is still fairly safe for most people. You should be able to do that as long as you don't push yourself too hard. Whether the effort would actually be worth it though is another question. If you have that bad of muscle genetics the results probably wouldn't be worth the effort.
Relatable, I have a fast metabolism due to my curry genes and its so bad to the point even McDonalds cant save me
yeah eventually you go and do it instinctually
I sometimes would stick with the Mike Mentzer 1 set to failure since I can barely recover my energy
you’ve got that easy
Yep. The average man has so much more muscle potential than I do. If the average man stayed consistent with the gym for a couple months they could easily surpass me.
