@@Arxolotlyeah, this guy is delusional, I had 2 years of calisthenics experience, I was solid at push ups,40 push ups ez , took me 6 months to hit 100 kgs in bench after joining gym
@@life-oh1bc It's probably because once you've been working out for long enough your frame of reference for how heavy something is gets fuzzy. 100kg probably feels pretty light and obtainable to someone who has been working out for 8 years. But someone who is brand new is gonna think 100kg is not possible for them if they can barely bench half that.
@@Arxolotli also did only bodyweight excersises, only push ups and pull ups, and alot of cardio, when i joined gym i weighted 68kg and could bench 70kg, it took me around 9 months to bench 100kg with no program and shitty diet. Today i benched 105kg.
@@RyanHRubio i train upper body and chest 3 days a aweek yet i can only bench 100 pounds for 7 reps and started off the bar for1-2 reps 20 weeks ago, makes me feel like im weak asf, 125lbs and 6 foot 1 for reference btw, started at 102 pounds 6 feet in september 2023
@@willsgaming1481nah homie don’t lose hope. You need to start a bulk asap. 3 x a week chest is not great. I personally train it once, and it hit super hard. You need time to recover. Try hitting 85% of your bench 3-5 reps for 3 sets. Once you get situated, you should be moving more weight up. A good goal is 5 to 10 pounds a month. This might be a ton of info but I hope it helps
@@RyanHRubioonce per week is enough to make progress depending wjere you’re at in training. To make optimal progress, 2-3 times per week for bench is optimal. But if you’re doing 3 times per week you habe to know jow to incorporate that i to thenprogrammpriperly for recovery, not jsut hammering away to failure with 20 sets each workout. Total volume and intensity needs to be considered. Also for elite lifters once per week is barely enough to maintain their bench let alone make progress.
Of course there is, there is also a difference between two 100kg males, one buff and the other chub... That said there is not much difference between a muscular 60kg and muscular 100kg in a lifting exercise where the body weight is a non factor, ie resting on a bench.
I bench 140kg. I started at 25 Kg Not everyone can do 100kg in one year, that is rare and the exception. But here is some wise advise, it's a marathon not a sprint. Get there safely and smart. Don't ruin your body with ego lifting, that's useless.
Probably did some other sport beforehand. If you didn't do anything it's much much harder. Took a 500 test cycle to get to 2 plates lol@@nicholashenderson9374
@@MrDummyKickerbro everyone is different I am 140 pound and very shredded so I am very muscular for the 140 pound body I have and I can only bench 165 pound. I can deadlift 315 I can dips 4 rep with 90 pound with a belt but I cannot bench 2 plate at all doesn’t mean I am not strong just mean that everyone have different strong point and lever. I have been training for a little bit more than 2 years
"100 kg is the minimum a man should bench press" i could easily reply with "nahh 5 rounds of full contact combat sport is the minimum a man should be able to do"
Almost no one can actually do that. But most men could bench 225lbs within a few months of dedicated lifting. Going 5 5 min rounds full contact is like running a marathon while someone punches you in the head. It’s not the same at all.
@@nicholashenderson9374 literally everyone can do that if they train in combat sport, just go to a boxing camp or muay thai gym and see for yourself (especially those muay thai mfs, straight up different breed) my point is, it depends on what the person focuses on. if it's for a survival benefit (ex: escaping a burning building), i'd definitely agree if he said "90kg is the minimum a man should be able to carry on their shoulder". bench press though? not really that important.
@@mgtowphilippines8164 definitely feasible. i believe most middleweight fighter (around 70-80kg, average weight for men) could bench 100kg and go 5 rounds. i'm currently at 68kg. i could bench 100kg and do 5 rounds (but i admit i can't do it without looking like a drowned man fighting a crocodile 😅). but it's definitely possible if you train enough and balance it between endurance and strength.
Listen everyone don't listen to these ego lifters. Most of these influencers are just roid abusers or just got lucky genes because trust me you are not gonna bench press 100kg in just a year. Just train hovewer you like and do whatever you want and the gains will eventually come, for some people its faster and for others much longer. Just workout regullary and don't get discoureged by clowns like these.
Oh man I was questioning my sanity, are these kids serious ? 100 kg in a year? If you can bench 60 kg for 5 reps in that lil time you should be proud, these people should be banned from ever "influencing" anybody
@@getyoassonnnbwoi Do whatever you want, benching 100 kg free weight for reps in a year is not possible unless you're naturally very big then you might have a chance, or of course.. If you take steroids
I just set up a weight bench last week and I can bench 106 kg as a novice just starting out although I’m quite a heavy weight for 5.11 apparently that’s not strong , I think a lot of people exaggerate though lol
Check sources guys, according to EXRX strength standards, according to an actual reputable source, after multiple years of training, strength standards look a bit like this 60 kg BW - 70 kg bench 82 kg BW - 90 kg bench I repeat this is after MULTIPLE years of training, don't let BS like this demotivate you kings, we'll all get there brahs💪💪💪
These standards are incredibly weak Realizing you aren’t strong yet is not demotivation It’s the truth If you are heavier than 140 and aren’t at least benching 200 pounds then you should reevaluate what you’re doing
2-3 years is the standard it is quite clear. Two gyms heavy bench areas I use (same gym club different sites) and not many get at or above 225. Like 10%.
This is dumb. Every body is different and of different strength. You can't expect a 5 feet 5, 125 pound man to lift 100 kg. Meanwhile, a chubby 6 foot 4 guy might lift 100kg without any training. Everyone is different and it's dumb to compare. Not everyone wants to become huge. I am a lot stronger now at 43 than in my 20s just because I weigh more. I benched 100kg for the first time of my life at 43 years old.
Completely arbitrary number and exercise. Why 100kgs? Because its a round number? Why the bench press? How many men can bench 100kg but cant do 5 pull ups or run 5k.
I’ve been training consistently for 1 year. I went from 35kg 1 rep max to 70kg 1 rep max bench. Double bench strength is not too bad but i’m not close to 100kg. Maybe because i’m 17, 6’1 and 70kg. I need to put on more weight
6,1 and 70kg id definetly say try and bulk up a bit. 75kg-78kg would be a good aim. congrats on your progress man. if its expensive to bulk what I did was have oats for calories in the morning, protein powder and an extra chicken breast in my dinner
Bro eat more I am 6ft and my weight has not increased after 74kg i have been lifting for 8 months now. I don't know my max bench but my last bench set is 80 kg * 5 reps. I right now do dumbell presses as they are easier on the shoulder.
Don't be obsessed about your bench press, the risks do not outweigh the benetits, just make sure you are generall fit. A lot of pro athletes don't bench press 100 and are much fitter than this guy.
Bro 100kg from 1 year of training, I’m 16 at the min and started lifting around a year ago, my max bench is 57.5 but I started being able to barely bench the bar
Bro nobody who is 16 years old and 60 kilos realistically benches 100 kilos. Its super rare and i know alot of lifters 16 years old and none of them come close to 100 kilos. You must have lifted for a long time to achieve that unless if you are already very strong from genetics and other sports.
Also has aid from ped use,(dosages vary and many today implement small amounts of peds which still impacts performance compared to their lifetime natural selves) though he likely may have benched or could have benched 100kgs in a year or two as 1 in 20 or so lifters as naturals get to that level within their first year or two. Everyone is different and their response to training will vary. Just like height, men have varying starting points and ceilings In strength. 99.9 percent of men who are lifetime naturals will never be over 200lbs while lean with abs, so , for most people who lift which are majority of viewers on youtube. Also, as a natural most will reach over 90% of their max potential in strength within the first 4-5 years while training under a decent lifting program as an adult, this can be moved a few years if starting as a young teen. This is coming from a guy who benched 225x23 reps as a 16 year old. Lifted since I was 12 at the time. I've had say 20 or so guys in my school between 9th-12 grade who were able to bench 225+ in a school of around 500 males. 225 for 5 reps -8 reps for guys of average weight (180 ish) is flat out strong for natural lifters and not everyone can get there. It's hard to draw the line as to where "average" is but I know for certain the average man after only a year training can NOT bench 225lbs. The number is closer to 190 ish.
@@anabolicgabehypertrophy is not 100% related to strenght I know people who have chest that you thing they would do 3 plate bench but they only do few rep with 2 plate
Theres no rule that says 100kg is what you should achieve after a year. Most recreational lifters who have an average BMI, will struggle to achieve that. BUT, 100kg is definitely achievable if you spend a year bulking and focusing on bench press. Especially if you have a higher BMI or shorter arms. An 80kg guy who's 5ft8, will find a 100kg bench easier than a 70kg person who's 6ft tall.
When I was 19 I entered the gym for the first time. I trained consistently for 2 years and I reached 100kg bench (3-4 reps proper form. I got lazy after that and never trained consistently again. Now I’m 29 and recently got back into the gym. Within a month I can bench 80kg (8-12reps, no issue) haven’t bothered to try heavier weight yet but I think I could do it. 178cm always been around 68-72kg
Trust me you’ll get there. I was as skinny as a fk snake and now i throw up 100kg for a burnout for 20+ reps. Eat in a surplus, sleep good, minimize getting shitfaced in the weekends and enjoy the progress!
I recently turned 16, and I wanted to try 100kg sooner but I didn't have time, I felt sad but this summer I'm going to achieve it since I have a method to structurally reach 100kg Currently my calculated pr is 101 kg but I'm going to wait to make sure and have everything ready, it's going to be an incredible moment, what a win😁😁
I benched 100kg today after 1,5 years of training, but I am also 190cm and weighing 83kg. And I am happy with that progress since I only started benching 3 weeks ago. My first real bench was 80kg because I didn’t trust my form, I still don’t but I am working on it.
I’ve been lifting for ten years and only use the 100 pound dumbbells for bench. There’s no point in hurting yourself. This dude will put the price eventually
depnds on bodyweight. If You want to get there faster i would say dont be afraid of bulking. Also majority of people who got a bad bench likely arent hitting their triceps hard enough. The chest grows pretty dam easily assuming you bench with the bar touching your chest everytime. I had to isolate triceps to be able to start repping 100kg or 225 with ease. My chest was way ahead of my triceps.
@@gamefreak173 true I see most guys who weigh like 130 pounds it takes them like 4-5 years to bench it and on the other hand I see guys who are like 230 that bench 2 plates within 8 months or so
was a drunk fat alcoholic for years, decided to change, went from 225 down to 175 in 4 months,now im 165 lbs (my fighting weight lol) now and ill probably have 200 lbs up within the next 2 months....i was in shape for years, i already have the "muscle memory" so i understand not everyone can get there as fast.
I train my Chest 2 to 3 × a Week and do Benchpress 5 × a Week and did it for the last 5 Years ! My two Records were 75 kg for 10 Reps and 80 kg for 4 Reps, both with a Bodyweight of 54 kg
UP. YOUR. FREQUENCY. You shouldn’t be hitting a certain weight after a certain amount of time in the gym. I don’t care for your age or how much you weigh, strength varies from person to person and gloating is cringe af But I will say this, my genetics aren’t very great. At 18yrs old I weighed under 50kg (110lb) at 5ft 10 and when I started at the gym I failed just the bar, couldn’t even get a rep. My bench has always been weak, but upping my bench from once a week to 2-3 times a week has SKY ROCKETED it, last week got 2 plates for 8 reps. So for anyone worried about whether or not they have potential to bench 100kg, I believe you can. Just. Up. Your. Frequency. Oh and keep tweaking your form until it’s perfect (you can bench wider than you think)
@@apexstylez7028 67 years old here, and bench has moved up yesterday to 205. 225 by summer, maybe earlier. My spotter was the gym manager. Want his name?
If y’all wanna increase ur bench, pls take my word frfr. Train the absolute shit out of your triceps. My gains went up like crazy. So I use to bench 195lb everyday to the point I actually started to fail it bc I think I had a slack or sum ider but when I watched a vid of how to actually boost up ur gains on the bench is to train ur triceps n set days for u to bench (not ur max every day) n I did. N ima using the HPS method (H=As many reps as u can with lightweight you can control, P=Explode with a lot of power with very light weight for 5 reps, and S= Ur max day) n when I did this, bro I went from 195 to 215. So if u wanna go get ur gains up on the bench, I recommend u to use the HPS method and use it every week. Like Monday ur going to work on H, Wednesday ur going to work on p, n Friday ur going to do ur max. Ur welcome if this worked, if not, idk what to say but thats tuff.
Same and that's the norm, I swear these guys should be fought cuz what they do is the reverse of "influencing" they're demotivating kids into believing they're losers when they're completely okay, 100 kg is HEAVY for most people period
Took me 2 years to hit 100kg bench for a pause and i had to take my bodyweight from 62kg to 92kg. Now after 12 years im close to 180kg paused bench at 110kg while still natural
I bench once a week on my chest and back workout with a rep range of 5-7, my bench has never increased faster and I hit 225 recently from starting at a 120 pound 1 rep max 10 months ago
I disagree with the strength minimum and I bench 135 kg. I’d say 100 kg is achievable within 1.5 years and I don’t think it should be considered a minimum
Everyone has their own methods of improving for me doing sets of 10's on comfortable weight and adding 5kgs every 3-4 weeks really helped me I don't claim to be a bench specialist or anything my 1rm is currently 110kg aiming for 140kg by the end of 2024!
I agree 100% but I would say eating enough food after you benched 80kg+ is important, I benched 100kg after a year at 14 years old and it could've been faster if I ate a bit more
This is very true im 15 years old 180 bw first month of training i was only at 125lb bench and ive been training for 7 months now and just hit 2 plates on bench yesterday consistency is key
If you hit a 100kg bench press in a year of training, you probably weigh 100kg yourself and are bigger than the average human male. If you are of average height and weight, it can take 2 years or more. The 100kg bench press is a milestone for a reason. 💯
225 lb in one year? This lout is crazy. Very few people at any of two gyms I go to (same brand, different sites) bench 225 lb. In the real world, this is about 3 years work.
Just at one year mark trying out bench, and hit 195lb two days ago. Slammed it back. Should have tried 200. This means by summer (3 months) will get to 205, and 225 by the end of the year, or early next year is in view.
Today tried 200, was so easy went to get the gym manager who promises to spot for me to try a new max and did 205 just fine. A new max I always just do one rep. Then if I want to do more, I take a quick break and do another single rep. I do that and not tired I move up in reps.
@@benjaminchen4367 One year at bench I am at 215, every day I do bench 3x a week, I do 205. When I do 5 reps at 205 I will go for 225, as the formula is losing 2 reps per additional 10 lbs. My max reps at 205 is 3 for now. Typically I do 1 or 2, multiple sets. So yes, I could have done 225 in one year if it were not for walking that big dog with leash in my left hand and he saw that rabbit and severely pulled my left shoulder 7 years ago. Pulled so bad I could not lift my left hand over my head for a year. Part of starting gym was to gain mobility in my left arm. I am 260 lb body wt, 16 in biceps flexxed, which is build enough to get to 225 this year. Might be 67 years old holding me back as well, who knows.
just hit my fist set of 100kg this week after 2 years of training, was a set of 5 reps as well...felt like I could have done it a while ago but wasn't confident enough.
I'll consider myself lucky then I go gym 2-3 times a week for 2 months I went from 8 reps of 60kg to 8 reps of 80kg and I'm going to give 90kg a go tomorrow then 100kg within 2 months I'm 80kg 5"9 and I've been on a diet of only 400g of chicken a day too and still my strength is improving, I don't take no protein or supplements, it's unhealthy I know but it seems to be working I've only got 8 kg to lose then I can start getting my diet right. I won't lie I've been feeling like crap lately light headed and all sorts but I'm so close to my ideal weight I've lost 2 stone so far so hopefully I can do it in 3 weeks.
I just started going to the gym about 3 weeks ago. First day I repped 100kg for 3 reps with no spot. Im 40 but I used to go to the gym a lot in my teen years but after 2 decades you're muscles still remember the movement. Im 6' and 180 lbs. Everyone is different.
this is true. I've been under the 100kg for more than a year but I was working out like shit+ not even benching at all. In 6 months I've got my 1rm from 77 to 90-93
my 1RM was 50kgs when I was around 52 kgs. It sounds nice being able to bench my own weight. That was long ago and I haven’t benched a long time. I am now doing home gym. I have a pull-up bar and a barbell where I can curl 37,5kg. I will try to do 42kg in a few days. I usually do the barbells curl during the day when I feel like it and it helps a lot. Pull-ups also helped me a lot in strength. When i started doing pull-ups I couldn’t even take 3, I could only do 1 pullup. Now I can do 10 pullups at least. Helped me with chest, back, abs, shoulder and bicep. Basically the whole upper body, which is great. I feel strong now I am 17 and I weight 57 now
I am 23 years old and 150 lbs weight at the moment, and I started combination gymnastics with calisthenics in 10-11 months ago. Thanks to discipline and supplement, I have completely control bench from 100 lbs up to 200 lbs and still level up. Therefore the way he talks still possible guys! Remember nothing is impossible!
Ive been training for nearly 10 years and still havent hit 100 kg bench...hes actually cookin fr. For me its consistency I get to a place where I feel good about myself and I stop training
ngl if you are 5'9 to 5'11 and you are over 180lbs in bodyweight you should be able to build your way up to a 225lbs bench press or at the very least a 220lbs bench press at some point
Took me 2 years. I'm 5'11, started in 2022 at 127bw, now at 148bw and can do 100kg(225lbs)x1 I noticed flat dumbbell pressing got easier too even though i didn't train it much. I can rep 60lbs with ease, and can do 80's for like 4 to 6 reps
