I'm actually only 155-160. I do get mistaken for heavier, but it doesn't look like I lift when I'm in a t-shirt 
But seriously, who are you?  | |

Lifted for 3 years, then got out of it and haven't been to a gym in 9 (I've stayed active with sports a couple times a week, and work though).
Past PRs: @155
B 255
DL 405
Sq 345
Now I'm 165 and after first week back to lifting am at
B 225
DL 335
Squat 225
Surprised my squat took such a hit (as well as muscular endurance in general), hoping to make some good progress in the next couple months.

benching two plates is equivalent to how much dumbbell bench press? Like 110 pound dumbbells?

I thought my bench would suck but my deads and squats would still be ok (fairly physical job). Been away so long that the hardest part right now is just getting back into the feeling that going to the gym is fun.
(yes to 9 years)

Dumbells and bar benching don't equate. Some guys are beast with bar and not so good with db and vise versa.

How much are u eating and what lifting program are you following?

Just put more weight on and grind it out. Even if it's 2.5lbs per side. You should be striving to do more weight or more reps every workout.

I would push and fucking push until I was about to die and rip as much fiber as possible until my spotter finally helped right at the end to get it up.. Do that a few times through your workout and your body will adapt given the right diet..

some respond really fast to resistance training, while some take a while longer to respond, it's all about consistency which also means frequency.
There are some days when I'll drop the weight to a plate or two plates for squats because my hip hurts.
Just stick to the weight you have now, or even drop the weight to improve form. There are many other ways to measure gains in strength, and the amount of weight you have on the bar, is just one parameter amongst many.
If you can do the same weight as you can right now, but faster and with greater control, then you have gotten stronger. If you can do the same weight as you can right now, but with greater form and for more reps, then you have also gotten stronger. You catch my drift?
Another way is to drop weight, and focus on hypertrophy. a bigger muscle = a stronger muscle.
Side note:
Looking for a cheap gym in burnaby vancouver area that has dumbbells going up to 150lbs. I wanna start dumbbell benching heavy again..
