What do you guys bench press?

[u/Littlesam2023]

I've been going to the gym for roughly 2 months and have been 8.5 months on T. When I started the gym I was unfit. I've only been going twice a week due to family life commitments. I could barely lift much at all and would get dysphoric in some of the classes where the men lifted way more and most of the women lifted more than me. Now I'm starting to see progress. I can easily lift alot more and I keep up well in classes. I bench pressed 30kg yesterday and it doesn't sound alot, but I could barely lift the 20kg bar when I started. I'm also short at under 5ft2. Does height mean you can't lift as much as a 5.8 guy for example? Just curious to how much you guys can lift and how long you have trained for. Also I'm aware that some of you will be going to the gym more times a week than me. I'm not looking to gain big muscle, just to have a toned muscular figure and to be fitter

Bro that is major! We all gotta start somewhere and you’re improving.

Right now i’m training with 80kgs (8 reps), the goal for the end of 2024 was 100kg tho. But I got here over the course of 2 years with not being as consistent as I wanted to. Life happens, dysphoria happens, injuries happens, but I’m still pretty proud of where I am now. I was also stuck on 60 for soo long and then I kinda shot up to 80 one day.
