Strength standards of the past Deadlift: >under double bodyweight: get to work >double bodyweight: ok, you lift >over double bodyweight: strong
Press: Under bodyweight: get to work Bodyweight: ok, you lift over bodyweight: Strong
>strict curl bodyweight minus over 50 pounds: get to work bodyweight - 50 pounds: ok you lift withing 50 pounds bodyweight: strong
to be continued
Brayden Ross
I weigh 180lbs and deadlifted 395x5 this week and feel weak. I won't feel strong until I can pull 500.
Sebastian Rodriguez
thats good strength, even better ambition. how much u press?
Hudson Evans
Lmao1pl8
I've been cutting and it's been stalling hard as fuck.
Dylan Hernandez
honestly just practice it more. also dumbbell pressing helped me alot. try dumbbell clean and presses and see saw presses (personal fave)
im at 90% bw right now
Robert Martin
>strict curl >your bw - 20 kg
But at the same time:
>deads >double BW >OHP >just BW
Really now? The only people I've seen capable of curling 70+ kg at sub 90 bw were armwrestlers.
Either bump OHP to 1.5 bw and diddy to 3x, or lower the curl.
Eli Bell
BW-multipliers are stupid though, they favor turbomanlet twinks.
Jordan Sanders
ive curled 110 and im 165, so im rpetty close to the standard
Samuel Reed
50 kg isn't 70+, lad. Come back once you break the 70 kg mark, which is probably never, unless you dedicate a year to it.
Evan Gray
Are we talking bench or push press?
Joseph Collins
im not understanding what you're getting at. say ur bw is 200. a curl 150 and above is very impressive. below 150 means get to work.
Colton Garcia
strict overhead press, not push press. bw bench and push press is pretty easy
Cooper Adams
I hope all of you faggots that do old time strongman exercises have handlebar mustaches and ride a high wheel bicycle everywhere.
You're the fitness equivalent of weaboos. Ye Olde Faggots
Camden Smith
>implying theres anything wrong with doing olympic lifts, deadlifts and presses
Dylan Hernandez
Ok, let me re-phrase:
There is a shitton of guys who can deadlift 3x bodyweight and OHP 1-1.25x bw, but I personally know only one person who can do a strict (ass and torso to the wall) 70 kg curl at sub 90 kg.
A strict 70 kg curl at that weight is equivalent to a 180 kg bench press. Guy in the OP only benched 160, for comparison.
Alexander Green
deadlift standard way too low press too low strict curl seems pretty low too at least for me. I'm not strong by any means but with a bodyweight of 160 curling 110 isn't that heavy. My logic: If I can do it it's low
Nolan Myers
theres literally a 190 lb guy at my gym that can rep out a plate for sets on the barbell curl, which equates to well within 50 pounds of bw for a 1 rep max. meanwhile ive never seen anyone irl press bodyweight or above.
maybe we have different pop samples
Grayson Walker
lol pretty much how everyone thinks. but objectively if you can do these things it means youve put in time to gain strength and youre probably stronger than 99% of the world population
Logan Torres
How many reps though? If it's ~6, then his one rep is just around 70 kg. And he's just a single guy in your gym, which was kind of the point: cut off for most people will 60 kg if you are sub 90.
David Hughes
should be 3 times bodyweight on deadlift 1.3 or so in ohp But having a strength standard for curls is pretty retarded imo
Leo Diaz
>SNATCH below bodyweight: get to work bodyweight: ok you lift 1.2xbw and above: strong
>Clean under 1.2x bw: get to work 1.2-1.5xbw: ok you lift above 1.5* bw: strong
standards for the jerk are same as the clean.
Ian Watson
Really? what kind of gym do you go to? I reckon you're talking about strict press, but still.
Jordan Brown
yea strict press. uni gym, decent amount of people who recreationally lift, large group of power liftiers, several oly lifters and a few bodybuilders.
im sure at least 5-10 people can do it but ive never *seen* it happen
Gavin Morgan
I havent worked out for long but i do 5x5 with 65 (143) and my bodyweight is 70 (154) Out of those that workout where i go I'm pretty much the weakest :p
Aiden Brooks
any evidence? vid?
Lincoln Hill
nope, I don't film it. I usually dont think people have any interest in it so I don't bother
