If you’re in between plates then round down. Also comment how long you’ve been lifting and which program(s) you follow.
Lol nice
There should be an option between 1 plate and 2 plates.
It’s okay to be in the 1 plate club bro I’m there with ya. I’m a newb though
Does this mean a 1 rep max or comfortable doing sets of 8-10, something else?
Good question. Anything counts. Whether it’s a 1 rep max or for reps.
Data is useless then
Start low and eventually raise weighs. Depends you want to be lean or bulky. I prefer lean so lots of fast reps at low weighs.
Members of the 5 plate club are allowed to skip onsite interviews at FAANG and move directly into TC negotiation
Members of the 5 plate club are either liars or world class strongmen/powerlifters in which case working at FANG is the least of their concerns.
Lol world class lifters still need that sweet sweet TC!
tc?
Lmao 1 and 2 plates is a massive range. For a 160lb guys that’s the difference between looking like Christian Bale from the fighter vs the dark knights
Most guys who bench 2 plates aren’t as big as Bale in dark knight what the fook are you smoking m8. At 3 plates they would though.
Bale was 190lb in Batman movies. How big you look depends on your ratios ie relative strength. For a 160lb guy, benching 2 plates for 5 reps is a HUGE achievement. Probably close to maximum genetic potential. To go beyond, he has to put on weight, train as full time powerlifter, or do roids http://kinobodystandards.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/3/9/86395240/superhero-physique-standards-3.jpg?1471024255
