115 pound dumbells bench press - new personal record

Nothing crazy, but for me its a personal record! Ive never attempted 115 before, so I've probably had it in me for a while. At my gym the heaviest we have is 100s, so we dont train heavier that often.

if you can use that much weight, why don't you look big ? like bodybuilders

[strengthproject]

@DarkStyler94

[donlyson]

@strengthproject bitch please Probably because you dont take roids bra lol :D

Do you ever lift bench press with the olympic bar? DB press is better for stabilization and balancing a heavy weight in each arm, which in turn builds stabilizing muscles... but flat bench with olympic bar i find is great for overall power. What's your PB for olympic bar bench press?

@Alit2

I am unsure, I havent attempted a 1 rep max for a while. I'm guessing its at least 275 pounds. I'm going to try it sometime next month. Maybe on my birthday lol

@maximylyanovich

This was just showing my progress. And yes, sharing your progress can be considered "showing off", but if done respectfully what is wrong with that?

@DarkStyler94 Looking big isn't shit compared to being strong.

[everysixseconds]

What supplements do you take? Creatine? BCAA's?

[diestar1]

make sure to keep your butt on that bench...it could mess up your back and the work out isnt focussed where it should be when you lift your butt

[RealspitHiphop604]

he's light because of his diet, probably is vegetarian but he is still very strong which is good

[vikiestar]

right job

[KuroiRyoku]

@DarkStyler94 Though there are ways to change this naturally or by taking supplements or performance enhancing substances that body builders often use. An example would be like Hannibal for King being as buff as he is using his own body weight to gain strength and muscle mass and then look at this video, he cross trains. Genetics is key in this.

@DarkStyler94 So he could have a smaller frame but achieve maximum efficiency or force capable of his frame. Some people could lift a certain weight a number of times and achieve a certain bulky or buff effect. It also depends a lot on genetics. There are people who a naturally "bigger" with a bulky frame and there are naturally people are "smaller" and ripper so to speak. There are also those like the bald guy you frequently see on this channel who have traits of both.
