Update 10/2/2015 , 0116hours..

Its been a year since my last update and about 1 year and a half i've been lifting .
Weight currently at 73kg+- maintain .

Current stats
Bench Press 160lbs with support / 130-140lbs w/o support .
Squad 110lbs
Deadlift 160lbs

Not very impressive . My weakest body part is still chest , still didn't grow accordingly to my other parts of body.
I''ver tried reps training & heavy weight training but still didn't gain much on chest .
Is it normal ? How long for you guys chest take to grow in shape ?

Your progress is horrible. Are you really training for 1.5 years? I was squatting 132lbs @ 56KG after 19 days of lifting. Current max bench is ~115lbs @56KG only after 30 days of lifting.

Anyway about the bench press, you should be able to bench press your body-weight in 3 months of training.

Meaning if you are 73kg, you should be able to flat bench 160lbs in 90 days of lifting.

Well that's impressive on your stats
I would love to see your progress after 3 months bro
Goodluck on your journey ! notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

Thanx.
Honestly, it may seem impressive, but it is NOT.
It's just normal progress that every drug free trainee who trains and eat right can easily have. Me on the other hand is genetically disadvantage (small boned skinny guy) thus that progress is not that great also.
Since you wanna see my progress, I'll definitely post in this thread to show you a Bodyweight/132lbs bench press achieved in 70++ days of training. And be sure to like the page for daily progress lolz.

Better go slow on the weights dude when you still don't have decent amount of muscle mass. Injuries will come often if you keep going heavy.  smile.gif

I train exclusively in the 7~10 rep range. So I don't go really 'heavy' at all. Moreover I always leave 1 rep in the tank, never ever going to failure.
The last I did anything heavy was the 60KG squat test, which was also not my 1RM, rather like 3RM.... which I only did 1 rep.

My progression also is %1RM based with built in deload, so I cannot rush the progression also since NOT adding fixed weight each session/week.

Chill dude. I know that you have good progress but that doesn't mean that you get a free pass to talk to other forumers in a rather harsh way.

I'm just being upfront and telling/showing him what is normal progress. He should know what is normal. It's really bad if someone goes to gym for 1.5 years makes like 2 months progress, and when he ask the community no one points it out. It's better than saying "wow good job bro, nice progress, keep going!" and he does nothing to look into his bad training and keep spinning his wheels. At-least now he knows that something is wrong with his whole training.

It's like no one is allowed to give legit criticism in this forum.

I think thats not normal progress , that is very good progress .
Honestly if you think this journey is 2-3 months game , i feel very bad for you .

I'll be lifting for years to come, not 3 months. Bodybuilding is a marathon.

2x bodyweight bench is no joke, it takes 3 months to bench 1x bodyweight, but 3-4 YEARS+++ of serious dedicated training to bench 2x bodyweight.
