I've a fitness meeting with 2 friends tomorrow on another room I never go. They told me they do 12 kg in each hand for drumb bell flat bench. The thing is that 12 kg seems to me like REAAAALLY not much for drum bells BUT I do it inclined most of the time. So I was a bit cocky in front of them and I was like 12 kg is nothing but again I do it most of the time on inclined bench. And When I do I usually do something around 22kg each hand ( which doesn't seem much at all for me). So in other words, 12 kg seems pretty noobish for me, and I would like to know if I do 22kg on inclined how much kg Am I supposed to do on flat bench ?? Simple question , simple answer please. It's just that I acted all cocky and now I'm am wondering. Thanks anyone who takes the time for me

lol, just try it? simple as that.

atleast for me its like 3-4kg more per hand on flatbench. But i'd prefer to do it mostly on incline with dumbbels.. Gotta say thats one of my favourite!

12 is normal for beginners.. if you did all the excerices you needed, 3 times. And 12kg is easy go heavier.. Never seen first timers picking up 22s

dont get to cocky because you might make a fool out of yourself picking up 20+ and not completing the exercises

not getting any cocky cause im weak as fuck aswell, but when i started i did it with 17kg's.. depends on how old are they, since if they are over 20yo, 12kg is just fucking epic, even if they are beginners.. oh and the excercises doesnt have to be so clean always, if you do it like that way everytime you train, you dont get strenght so fast..

Personally i like to do it like this:

3 sets of incline dumbbel benchpress:

first set with weights where u can do like 6-8 reps,

2nd and 3rd set with weights where u can do 10-15 reps.

using this method you gain both strenght and muscles, and this have been good tactic for me..

BUT ITS JUST ME, and this was kinda offtopic already but ohwell.. just saying.

EDIT; i take some of my words back since i noticed you are from belgium.. ppl are so skinny there so it explains alot.

masi thats a very good tactic. im usin that 1 aswel.
funny that many dont do this.. ull get good and fast result from it.
most start like 20.. and go 22 second 24 /26 3rd set.. wich is also good.. makes u stronger.. but result will take longer..
its not about the weight.. its about doing the exircise well,, coz at the end.. u wont a god body ha?

ontopic.. LOL @ 12 kg.. thats like air LOL

You prob walk around with 12 standard right ?

But ye dnno how old you are active but 12 should be kind of easy, when i was 18 i started with around 14-16 i think, and i was skinny as shit!

[The Situation]

i do 12 kg in dick press

[VARIMR]

that is quite low. When I started I did do around 20kg in each hand, now I got 40 kg each hand. And that isnt even much for guy my size (101kg+)should be able to do 50 kg each hand

correct me finnish people if I understood this correct drumb bell flat bench (tasapenkki käsipaino?)

do you even lift masi

[Masi]

5times/week n u?

[Dream]

well how more you incline how more you got up into the muscles till u reach the shoulders whenn full 90 degrees , so its get harder and harder.

So if u do like 14 kilos incline u definitlye should try 18 in flat.
!
It's winter time now so that means bulking for me now and take some shakes! gonna train in couple hours and I start bench 10x 100 6x 110 4 x 120 and maybe 1x 130 just starting to train with heavy weights now since i trained one year very lightly! then I'm gonna do the incline press but fly's and take around 38 kilo's , If i do the normal press in stead of flys its kinda useless for me because the weights in our gym only go to 38 and Its like peanuts after so many years , so I might do that excercise in the end a bit. Our gym should buy some weights up to 50 kilo but ..

anyway its winter time so start gaining weight and muscles i'm 1 m 77 btw and 78 kilos for the ones who want to know

Just pick a weight and stick to 8-12 reps, if you can do 12 per set, up the weight.
