Those numbers in those studies include nonlifters and new baby lifters, how much of the general population goes to my gym anon? Use your head next time you reply to me son. Gyms are full of average lifters not full of out of shape normies.

Like 2 and they're both fat. I used to do it when I trained in a gym that was basically all barbells but when I swapped I switched to dumbbells because the barbell was about to rip my pec off.
That subtle flex but every powerlifting gym I go to is overpriced bullshit to train with the owner's garage equipment. A texas power bar is not that expensive. My old gym didn't even have a shower.
Yeah, do to work I started going to a Tapout fitness because it was 24/7 and had free weights. 50 dollars a month isn't the end of the world and no planet cuck doesn't have free weights of any kind where I live.
Not many. Maybe 5-10% of the men at my gym push 225 or greater. Admittedly,
I can only do one set of five repetitions at 225 lbs. at 170 lbs. body weight so I don’t have much space to talk.
>one set of five repetitions at 225 lbs. at 170 lbs
same as me. The moment I switched to commercial gym I rarely see anybody push for more than 240 lbs. Tho it does happen, for most of the people it seems to be the "elite" level
That’s pretty good though. You’re just comparing yourself to a really high standard. I can do 225 for 3 reps also at 170lbs. I feel like if you can bench 1.5x your body weight for 1 rep you’re pretty good at lifting weights.

comparing your lifts to people who literally do not lift so you can pat yourself on the back is retarded
lifting is the only hobby where i ever see people pretend that being better at it than the average person is somehow impressive or a big deal
I find that very hard to believe, based on what I've seen people lifting at every single gym I've ever been to. I'd put the average at more like 60kg (132lbs). And that's for people Id seen regularly at the gym. Non lifters are likely far weaker unless they're someone getting strength training from their sport or job. I have a feeling strengthlevels is more generally full of shit and just gathers its stats from what people type into the search. If I'm there typing in hypothetical 1rms I'd say it counts it as someone actually staying they lift that much.
So category 3 is the average? As in, for a 200lb man who lifts, a 1rm of 213 is the average?

This is according to Rippletits. He rates the categories based on beginner, novice and anything after category 3 being competitive in that weight class at a regular meet. Sounds about right. Maybe a little underestimated. The internet skews data and can't be trusted based on user input. Seeing life long devoted strength athletes break records doesn't reflect what anyone can expect to accomplish with proper training and diet. I think the given numbers are decent.

Yeah it makes more sense than the strengthlevels stats anyway. I've no issue with dividing the lifts into different categories, but to claim 217 as the average for a male lifter - even among those who weighs 200lbs - is just demonstrably not true.
Exrx is backed by doctors, governments and some universities I hardly would believe its just going off peoples claimed estats.
Nah I tend to agree with that anon, from what I've seen in the gyms I've been to most people are actually weak as fuck, and most of the strong people are on roids or have been training for a long time. Looking at that site, someone even called out the strength standards here https://exrx.net/Questions/StrengthTests (see "Questioning Norms"). On that same page the author mentions that body composition isn't considered in the standards at all. Consider that in 2023 most Americans are overweight or obese. Also note that these standards are derived from "nearly 70 years of accumulated performance data", i.e. most of that data is coming from a period of time when people were less sedentary and less fat. And even if we ignore all of those caveats, if those numbers are averages/medians then half of people still wouldn't be able hit those numbers.
Because it takes more than just showing up for most people, the gays who make these threads don't like to put in actual effort. For people willing to try 1/2/3/4 is literally just a participation trophy.
You sound weak. I got run over and missed 3 months but still got 1/2/4 within 12 months of starting. I do 3x8. The squat is still beyond me though. I can only do 120 for 8 reps. That's due to form being shit and me taking time to fix it. I'll probably get it in a few months.
Bench was by far the easiest. It only took 4 months to get
1.78m, 90kg . Never tried a one rep max
havent been to a gym but its pretty shit, sometimes to0 crowded and ppl asking to work in and the staff is pretty unprofessional. i wouldnt reccomend going to a normie gym.
same here, except i go to a commercial rec center gym, so it's expected
there's a powerlifting gym near me with some big dudes, but they all have gay form like vidrel so idk how strong they actually are
they still move impressive weight though
How many of you guys see people deadlift 3pl8+ in your gym?
According to IST this is something most people can do after ~3-6 months of lifting, but I've been to a lot of gyms now (I move around a lot) and I very rarely see anyone pulling 3pl8+ unless I'm training in a powerlifting or strongman gym.
Most people just go to the gym to get slight exercise and fill the day with something, not everyone is le epic tryhard rippetoe enthusiast you see on IST. If you bench one pl8 you're already 80% better than the rest of the male population (assuming you're not 200lbs or anything)
Same YMCA anon here. I don't even see most bother deadlifting in the gym. I usually go before 12pm but even after 12 the few times I go I don't really see people bother to do the lift at all. I can DL 3pl8. Of course some of the big guys there can although I never see them do the exercise. I'm going to just chalk it up to I somehow never see them do it is all. I am honestly probably the only guy who routinely does heavy weighted dips at my gym. I've done 4pl8 before and the last time I recall ever seeing that was so long ago from a couple guys I knew that used to go there.
i did 1 year of dips and pullups prior. first time i pulled 160-170kg without training it. at first i didn't know how to brace and would hurt my back every time so i actually didn't even train it much for that period until about the last few months i did a dirty bulk of 10kg which exploded my deadlift from 180-185kg to +220kg
I deadlifted lmao3plate for reps after 3 months.
Just because you don't see anyone doing it doesn't mean it's hard to achieve with dedication. The discrepancy you're seeing is because most people DON'T have dedication, or simply aren't bothering to train deadlift seriously or don't have the goal of getting a stronger deadlift.
No one deadlifts is why. It's the same at my gym, 0 people do it except me. One time I was deadlifting and one of my friends came over and wanted to try it. I had 315 on the bar and he had never deadlifted before afaik. He did 5 reps conventional like it was nothing then laid down on the floor on his back for like 10 minutes then left. It was impressed since it took me like 9 months to reach that. Granted he was heavier than me and not out of shape but he wasn't huge either maybe 5'10 and 175lb normie mode
>No fucking way. Dude you just never tried
I dont know man, Im just tiny. But there is a thing to say about e-stating on IST, I pull 3 plates at my gym and its still more than 99% lifters there.
>How many of you guys see people deadlift 3pl8+ in your gym?
There are a couple obvious roiders that can pull 5-6 plates, as well as the group of about five powerlifting turbo manlets that pull around 4-5 plates (albeit with straps and belts). Anyone who looks kind of normal besides myself maxes out at just over 3 plate >According to IST this is something most people can do after ~3-6 months of lifting
I actually surpassed it in about 2.5 months of training diddies. I do around 365 for reps (5x5 was my best dating back to 4 years ago)
Lots in mine, but I go to a powershitter gym. So lots of heavy deads, mostly decent benchers, and strong squats. Oddly enough i'm the only one I've seen at my gym hit lmao 3 plate squat actually ass to grass with no belt or equipment.
i always wonder how much weight powerlifters would actually lift if they didn't use super optimized form and only ever maxed out when they're peaked
like i see jacked bodybuilders repping out 315 on a no arch close grip bench press, and then is see powerlifters half their size who press more weight but it's for fewer reps and the form is gay
it makes me curious about how strong powerlifters would be if they trained like bodybuilders for a year or two, their 1rms are so optimal that i barely even consider them strength feats any more

if im gonna watch powerlifting, im not gonna watch some 150 pound twink do gymnastics with 400 pounds
im gonna watch some 300 pound ogre-sloth hulked out fat retard mutant bench 800 pounds with a flat back and a close grip
Based. The only powerlifters worthy of respect weigh over 242lbs.
Bonus points if they're over 200lbs and lean, but the big boys are the only ones worth watching. >dude let's sit around and watch some min-maxxed 130lb twink do barbell gymnastics and then pretend that he can beat us up because he """benches""" 275lbs
Fuck off.
I need to see some 330lb roided up gorilla abandon humanity and lift a 2000lb total like it's the morning paper.
Fuck the smaller weight classes. They're lean and aesthetic, but small. Stick to hobbyist bodybuilding.

>quit coping, fatties >this guy is smaller than you, stronger than you, AND looks better 🙂
Well, that's actually true. First time I step into a gym I deadlifted 90kg. And it took me 4 months to bench press 60kg. The thing is deadlift is just a shitty exercise noone carries about. That's why you dont see anyone doing it.
I go to a pretty casual gym (probably one tier above something like your planet fitness) where it's like 95% young guys. Have only seen it a handful of times and all of them were either clearly roided bro's doing it for reps or someone PRing with his butt a full foot of the bench.
Anons are just bullshitting or gaslighting you is all. Its true some of them probably did only do a few months training it and got a huge increase in weight but this will never ever apply to everyone. Nothing in fitness applies to everybody. We all have different body types, sized and ailments or body issues that effect us.
I work out in a planet fitness because it's all there is nearby. As far as I can tell I'm the only one doing 225 or more but it's a fucking SMITH MACHINE because those stupid retards don't trust anyone with free weight barbells because some stupid fucking newfag resolutioner will sit down with the bar all loaded up and drop it on his neck.
I see a lot of egolifting zoomies strap up with wrist wraps, a belt, chalk, a spotter and do like 1 or 2 half reps
No doubt these individuals go on to boast about their 2pl8 bench. Its unironically very rare to see someone who can rep 2pl8 for 10-12 reps with full ROM
I'm a skinny 5'10 manlet with narrow shoulders who's been training for 6 months and I could maybe do 1 rep of 135. I do 95 or 115 for reps.
Meanwhile my fat friend just started going back to the gym and he hit 225 for reps in 2 months. He's my height but built like a truck and works a manual labor job.
This. And all the asses worth looking at are at most 16. There's one MILF that's been going there and she's short but is super cheeked up. There's some short Asian girl with an okay one, and then I followed some chick into the gym the other night who I had a while to check out before going in. Hers wasn't bad at all, I honestly considered raping her. I think I can get away with being creepy though because I'm halfway okay looking and in my early 20's + fit.
okay, heres another one, how many people do you see in your gym benching 80lb dumbbells or more? seems like DB bench is harder or something because I rarely see people bench more than like 70s
I've seen maybe 4-5, they hard cap at 255-275. Most recent was a decent looking stocky guy on gear put up 295 for a hard max. I saw him yesterday and benched 315x10, which was my absolute max, he packed his stuff and left. There's a black dude that compliments my lifts every time I see him. He warms up with 135 then adds a 10 every set and maxes at 235. It's kind of funny to see.
everybody who is older than 17

I can do 5x5 185lbs so probably yeah. for 1 rep
The majority of the grown men, people just cope by acting like it's unattainable.
The majority of grown men can’t bench 135
Maybe less than 5% of adult men can bench 225
Those numbers in those studies include nonlifters and new baby lifters, how much of the general population goes to my gym anon? Use your head next time you reply to me son. Gyms are full of average lifters not full of out of shape normies.
>Those numbers in those studies include nonlifters and new baby lifters
Yes, surveys typically include everyone, not just those who have been lifting for a while.
comparing your lifts to people who literally do not lift so you can pat yourself on the back is retarded
lifting is the only hobby where i ever see people pretend that being better at it than the average person is somehow impressive or a big deal
You're misinterpreting a study done on untrained men where the average was 135lbs that dyels here constantly misquote to help them cope.
Here's that screenshots partner
The average male weighs 199lbs
I find that very hard to believe, based on what I've seen people lifting at every single gym I've ever been to. I'd put the average at more like 60kg (132lbs).

Unless you are a 120lbs manlet or completely untrained you should be benching more than a plate

If your grip is that wide you didn't press it
His pinkys are inside the rings. Wtf are you talking about retard?
i reached 1pl8 OHP and 95kg bench in 1 year of inconsistent lifting at 65kg why is it considered even remotely strong ?
Because it takes more than just showing up for most people, the gays who make these threads don't like to put in actual effort. For people willing to try 1/2/3/4 is literally just a participation trophy.
It really depends on your frame. It's gonna be a lot easier for a mcfattie 6'0 220lb guy to hit 1/2/3/4 than a skinny weeaboo starting at 5'6 130lbs.
>jumps up standing OHP
>legpresses second half of the bench
the "1/2/x/x" in a year gays are all the same.
You sound weak. I got run over and missed 3 months but still got 1/2/4 within 12 months of starting. I do 3x8. The squat is still beyond me though. I can only do 120 for 8 reps. That's due to form being shit and me taking time to fix it. I'll probably get it in a few months.

Most of the people that go to my gym are there to socialize and/or do pussy reps/time on cardio.

I reached that the other night. Been going for just shy of five months now.
Only ever seen one guy bench over 3pl8 and it's pretty rare to see over 2 pl8. Could probably count the people I've seen do it on two hands.
Most people in my gym. 225 is a joke for anyone’s that’s actually trained for more than a few months.
Most cannot actually. I go to a YMCA
When I go after work, most guys.
When I go during the day, literally no one.
In one year I have not seen one person do it. After one year the max I can do is 180lbs.
I work out at home so 0.
I go to a pretty casual gym (probably one tier above something like your planet fitness) where it's like 95% young guys. Have only seen it a handful of times and all of them were either clearly roided bro's doing it for reps or someone PRing with his butt a full foot of the bench.

Probably around 10% from what I've seen. 5% for reps. Saw a dude repping 3pl the other day. He's probably in the 1%. Never seen 4pl at my current gym.
Idk I only look at women's asses when at the gym.
This. And all the asses worth looking at are at most 16. There's one MILF that's been going there and she's short but is super cheeked up. There's some short Asian girl with an okay one, and then I followed some chick into the gym the other night who I had a while to check out before going in. Hers wasn't bad at all, I honestly considered raping her. I think I can get away with being creepy though because I'm halfway okay looking and in my early 20's + fit.
okay here is a better one, how many people in your gym under 200lbs can bench 225 or heavier?
okay, heres another one, how many people do you see in your gym benching 80lb dumbbells or more? seems like DB bench is harder or something because I rarely see people bench more than like 70s
I have seen two men besides me bench press 225 or more in the 3 months I have been at this one. I spotted one of them when he ORM’d 315.
I saw a dude bench 405. He's like 5'10 and really fat, but it was impressive
Took me 4 months to go from 1 plate to 2 plates of 8-10 reps.
Not sure why this particular weight is helped so highly. It just comes as long as you actually go the train consistantly.

dude what
He's ESL
Post body weight
I'll say it, the bench(dumbbell) does nothing for natty lifters.
I've seen maybe 4-5, they hard cap at 255-275. Most recent was a decent looking stocky guy on gear put up 295 for a hard max. I saw him yesterday and benched 315x10, which was my absolute max, he packed his stuff and left. There's a black dude that compliments my lifts every time I see him. He warms up with 135 then adds a 10 every set and maxes at 235. It's kind of funny to see.
>Do 2 x 14 kg dumbbell presses for reps
Wait, am I weak? You motherfuckers are benching over 100kg?
14kg is just beyond beginner level. How long have you been lifting for?
If it's longer than a month or two, you need to start adding weight to your lifts bro. Progressive overload is your friend.
I-I’m almost to 2pl8 bros…
I can do 1pl8+ 40
You're almost there. Just do one more training block and you'll have it.
