Date: February 9th, 2026 6:41 PM Author: Bipolar french space stock car My Max bench is maybe getting 225 up a couple three times.
So when I work chest, I usually rep 205
I was at a hotel the other day and obviously they didn’t have a bench press set up, but they had a flat bench with dumbbells. So I benched with dumbbells.
I was super sore afterwards, and it felt like such a better workout. Felt like it required using all of this stability, and different muscle groups. More satisfying than a bar.
So I’ve quit traditional bench press for now and I’m using dumbbells.
But here’s the question. I’m using like 60 pounds on each hand. If you want to bench the same kind of weight you would do with a bar, how the fuck do you handle it? I can’t imagine positioning some hundred pound dumbbell in each hand. Do guys who aren’t super lifters do that? Or do they just get handed the dumbbell once they are down in position?
Or is it just a reality that if you use dumbbells, you won’t push the same kind of weight as a bar? |

Date: February 9th, 2026 6:45 PM Author: Bipolar french space stock car Not a muscle head at all, bro. That’s why I led with my first sentence being an xo shamed number.
But I would like to figure out out how to stay stronger |

Date: February 9th, 2026 6:50 PM Author: Mint Corner Sorry man I was just joking. Assuming you're 35+, don't even fuck with heavy dumbbells. Those are for steers and queers, and you're infinitely more likely to fuck up something in your shoulder. To get stronger, just do a formal program and eat more.

I go up to sets of 10 with 80-90lbs on incline dumbbell, I doubt that translates to 160 pounds on straight bar incline |

My exercise routine consists of putting on skin tight clothes, wearing a cycling helmet over my jew fro and going on long weekend bike rides with my various Jewish co-conspiritors while my wife gets plowed at home by Darnell.
