If these aren't just e-stats OP, I think you should be pretty proud of yourself regardless of your physique because in all honestly, I am blown away by the sharp disparity between what you look like you lift and what you claim to lift. Are you natsky? It's the only thing I can think of that can explain such a stark differential.

I've never seen an unequipped three-plate bench press with my naked eye by a natty-- manlet or otherwise.

How is your bench so high relative to your deadlift? Usually someone that can bench 315x5 could DL like 550
Best lifts:
Bench press: 315x5
Squat: 465x1
Strict press: 205x5
Deadlift: 405x13 (conv tap'n'go with straps)

Yes you look strong for sure. Lower that BF and you'll be on point.

Not sure what these other guys are talking about 315 x 5 is good but not uncommon. Physique matches strength.

a Combination of bad leverage for deadlift, and not training it very often. struggled many times with grip, because i was using double overhand, just recently switched to hook grip so i guess numbers will explode in near time.

I respectfully disagree brah.

To be frank, I've only occasionally seen non-nattys and/or complete bloatlords play around with three plates on the bench with any amount of measurable success. Am I just completely out of touch here?

OP admits dwarf status, and with that frame let's just be wildly liberal and say he's benching 2x bw when he does 315 for reps, that would make him an elite level lifter-- by a long shot. If he claims a natty (phuck even a non-natty), elite level lift and he's posting on the misc asking if he looks strong instead of phucking up his local competition at PL meets. Boyo I've got some bad news for him about exemplifying LDAR mindset.

lmao, 315 may not be common, but you can find on youtube twinks with only 170 BW doing it, and i am not benching my double my bodyweight lol, i am around 225-230, always had strong bench, as for competition don't want to go OJ yet. i got naturally big frame, around 8 inch wrists and arm here are like 18 inches, on semi bloat status

Honestly brah, mad respect-- will rep when off rc for admirable gains and overall thread responsiveness.

I don't phuck with youtube twinks, so maybe that's why this is busting my cheeks so hard but benching 315 at 225 is phuckin impressive to me, and I'm not new to the game.

i don't see anything special in it yet. maybe in the future. brah 315 is very possible for nattys. as for 405 that's another story. Just do incline and bench and some flies for chest, you will get there srs and dont forget close grip bench for dat dere triceps.

FWIW, I was in the same boat for a long time, always a chitty deadlifter. I thought I just had bad leverages or w/e, long torso relative to limbs. And I do. I wanted to quit the lift cause I sucked so much at it

It took me a really long time to find the right deadlift form, for me a really narrow stance with feet straight forward. Instant 50lb PR and I was able to make progress weekly for a while. Anything slightly different (feet pointed out, wider stance) and I can barely even get 405 off the floor

If you can bench 315x5 you should be able to to deadlift 405x5 with your hands tied behind your back even with bad leverages. It's gotta be a form issue
Best lifts:
Bench press: 315x5
Squat: 465x1
Strict press: 205x5
Deadlift: 405x13 (conv tap'n'go with straps)

Yes but not for the reasons you think. 95 percent of lifters at the gym aren't serious about lifting at all. They aren't pushing themselves in their workouts, or even eating/resting adequately. Although everybody says it would be nice to bench 3 or 4 plates, very few people truly attempt to go after the big numbers.

I never mix grip. Tearing a bicep isn't what I'm worried about, its getting some kind of imbalance in the shoulders which is apparently pretty common. Pretty sure tearing a bicep only happens when one arm is kinda curled up instead of straight at the beginning, and you have to lift a lot of weight to do it.

I double overhand till I get to my last set and then strap up. I train my grip separately though: curling a bar from my fingertips into a fist, and also just holding onto X weight for Y seconds

I used to be against straps cause PL'ing doesn't let you use them. This is what changed my mind:
1. So many competitive PLers train with straps, and hook/mix grip in comp
2. Strongman lets you use them in competition
3. Unlike a squat suit or bench shirt, straps don't store energy and apply work on the weight as you lift, so I don't view it as cheating
4. You can train grip separately
5. It ensures your grip strength won't hold back the rest of your deadlift development




And yeah, they kind of are a pain in the ass. For me bending over and putting the straps on the bar kills my strength the longer I stay bent down. What some people do is get the straps setup while on their knees to avoid this.

Bench press: 315x5

i think i really need to experiment a little with it because i never did, will do if gym don't close, and i had grip issue becase as i said double overhand, and my hands are thick so the bar would roll always at higher weights.
