How long did it take you before you could do 3 sets of bench press at 72.5 kg using free weights barbell [not machines] It took me around 5 weeks,I didn't use creatine or protein supplements,my goal is to be able to do 3 sets of 8 reps at 100kg by the end of the year then I will start turning heads.

3×8 at 220 is not really a lot unless you weigh 150lbs. It's a good start though.

Hey everybody started somewhere. Be consistent and keep working hard. You'll reach that goal.

Are you talking to me? I benched 450lbs natural, so.... I was 6'2 250lbs and lifted for 20yrs naturally. Not everyone is the same. I wish you nothing but the best, I wasnt putting you down.

Slow and steady will get you there.
i assume you add 5 lbs each week? Every other week?
What's your criteria right now for adding weight?

I could bench that in high school.
Bragging about benching 160 lbs for reps, fuck me. I know that you're a troll, but fucking lol@you if you're serious.
225 for reps is respectable but probably half of the guys at my gym can do it.

What weight did you start out at? I never benched before two weeks ago and I put up 170 or 180 (about 80kg) for 8 on my second try. I rest 30-60 seconds in between maybe 90 seconds if I’m winded.

Hey bro, being that your new you might wanna show a little more respect to people, watch your condescending tone too. This is a place where it’s not a requirement but it definitely helps if you have friends. Telling people to get their head out of the clouds. You don’t know that guy, you did so much as introduce yourself and you think your fucking PR for 74 kg is some mega feat. Who’s head is In The clouds now kiddo??
Nobody in this thread benches two plates... bunch of liars.
I just worked my way up to the 25lb plates this week... running a gram of tren.
yolo.

the average man cant just walk into a gym and bench press 70kg 8 reps with free weight barbell full range of motion with no training unless your like freaky natural strong and thick built wi th thick wrists etc you also need to remember I train natural no steroids as im in this game for life and I want to look after my health.

Wait, so you’re saying you’ve never had any training or ever been to a gym before? Serious question.
Well now you're moving the goal post... first you said that the average man couldn't lift 100kg without steroids and now you're saying the average man can't walk into the gym the first time and lift 70kg.
I have no idea how long it took me to get to two plates... I was in highschool, that's been a while ago.
I actually appreciate you starting this thread because I was thinking back to my earliest years with a barbell. The first time I ever benched was in the 8th grade and I lifted 185lbs (84kg). I had never touched a barbell prior to that and my weight was probably around 180lbs at that time or a bit less... the teacher just kept adding 5-10lbs and the kids would drop out as they failed the lift. I had no idea how good it really was except it was more than anyone else in my gym class. That feeling of being stronger than my peers was likely what lit the fire in me to keep doing it.

You know what you are absolutely correct !!!! there isn’t a single gym that I know of that has plates that can even make 70kg =154lbs. Possible. Maybe you you meant 70.5 kg. = 155lbs I work at A world renown gym, and have never seen or heard of 2lb. Plates.
Get your head out of the clouds.
