By data Go To Post225 bench feeling easy breasy. Max at 245 a couple months ago. Tried to jump into 275. Felt surprisingly good on the way down but my triceps gave out at the bottom.Waht!
Feels weak af man. Want 3 plate bench
Don’t you deadlift 4 plates? I’d imagine your bench being better. Although, shoulder problems may limit your bench. I’d work on diamond pushups and tricep kickbacks, at least that’s what’s I’m doing. Can’t do dips because of nerve issues. I only do 70lb dumbbells doh so I’m not so high on bench numbers either.

You can increase your dumbbell bench really rapidly if you push yourself hard. My mindset was if I can do 10 reps with 80lb dbs, then I can do 5-7 with 85lbs. I was able to go from 60lbs DBs per hand to 155lbs per hand in about a year and a half, within the first 6 months I was up to 120lbs per hand. DB press is the perfect excuse to really push yourself cause you just drop the weights if you can't get them up.
Gonna start my nephews on some body weight training this Sunday, we were down near central park last Sunday and I did some pullups on some scaffolding and they tried and couldn't do 1. On some real old head "back in my day" shit I remember playing on monkey bars at 10 and being able to do pullups without a lot of trouble and I was heavy. Kids these days soft with proper safety measures in place, they don't know about walking ontop of the monkey bars and if you fell you were hitting dirt, cut up tires or concrete.

Pull-ups are a great exercise. Seems so basic yet not many people do them, good on you for putting your nephew on.

I'd bet that you could do a full 5x5 set with 75lbs dbs. I'm a big believer in shocking your muscles/cns when it comes to working out.
