Have ten beers a night for a week bud, youve earned it

I don’t want to shell out the coin for a new hole

We do need more fat drama though but I’ve noticed that as the average age of the internet increases, we have left fat phobia

You should get tested before and after using Tongkat Ali to see if it's actually doing anything. Lots of companies underdose Tongkat and Fidogia products.

I did 325 and it wasn’t so bad, went to 335 and felt like someone dropped a house on me

learn to bench press properly. read the book, watch videos, look at powershitter form. you're just gonna get hurt if you don't do it right (you aren't doing it right)

Are you actually failing on lifts for your bench and press? If you're 2 months into Starting Strength then just do the program and make sure you're making appropriate jumps. 10 lbs a workout at first for squat and dead, 5 pound jumps for bench and press. Then when the jumps start getting harder for bench and press use 1.25 pound plates to make smaller, 2.5 pound total jumps. If you're consistently failing lifts ask yourself the first 3 questions:

• Are you waiting long enough between sets? When it gets heavy 5 minute rests is not enough. Start resting 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 minutes between sets.

• Are you eating enough? You're 172 lbs at 6'1", you need a lot of food. You should probably be eating at least 3,500 calories a day with at least 200 grams of protein if not more.

• Are you sleeping enough? Shoot for 8 hours but with training some people need more. Sleep as much as you can.

Your lifts are ok early on but why is your press so close to your bench? Generally press is around 50-75% of your bench so you could probably stand to make some bigger jumps on bench for a few workouts to get you into the 140, 150 range. Did you start with just the bar or something? If you've done Starting Strength from just the bar you would be around 105 pounds on bench by now (45 lb bar plus 5 pound jumps for 12 workouts at 6 bench workouts a month). For the program you're really supposed to start the first day with generally the most weight you can handle before failing 3x5. So if you were able to bench 80 lb at 3x5 the first day you should be around 140 lbs by now.

Your bench and press shouldn't really be close to your other lifts and for trained people they generally follow a 5 : 4 : 3 : 2 ratio for dead:squat:bench:press so squat will generally be 80% of your deadlift, bench will be 75% of your squat, and press will be 66% of your bench. Those aren't hard numbers but just generally how things work out.

100ibs including the bar??

Anyways you need to start doing pushups, it'll tell you real quick if the deficiency is on your chest or Tris. Do a max set in the morning and evening daily

How often are you benching, I hit 2 plates pretty fast because I was benching almost every day for a while when I was 17

Higher frequency. Matt vena and Russel orhii bench 6 times a week, now don't go out and do it 6 times a week , start with twice or three times a week. also add some bodybuilding style training after your lifts to gain muscle mass since you are on that begging stage
