>For a 200-pound male of average height, a 1.75x bodyweight squat, a 2x bodyweight deadlift, and a .75x bodyweight press constitute a well-developed strength base.
>Although this isn't considered "strong" by competitive lifters, it represents a level of strength that's attainable by 95% of male trainees in a few short months of reasonably efficient training on the lifts.
Reminder that if you can't perform the above lifts you are a weak faggot and need to put down the books for a few months and get strong.
Shit, I've been lifting for a couple of years and still cant do this. Most I can do is 100kg squats and 130 deads. I weight 75kgs. Is this for ORM?
I can do more than my bodyweight for bench though.

Post stats and what you are reading right now.

You mean 2?

What if I have a x2BW squat, x2.75BW pull, and a x1.05BW press?
Carson Jackson
3-5
Adrian Adams
Well which is for which?
Daniel Clark
It depends how I'm feeling that day, and if I got a spot or wear a belt.
For squats, it's usually 3 reps, 4 if belt and spot; for BP and OHP it's 5 reps.

200 lbs is fat for average american height.
I'm 6'2" and weigh 185 lbs. And yes i can do all those lifts...those are incredibly low standards. I think it's what i used to lift around 10th grade in school.
Tyler Ward
Didn't expect so many strong litizens. Achieved 1000 lbs club last summer. Haven't been really consistent in training after achieving the goal.
Nathan Wright
Slowly getting there bro. 0.75 bench 1.25 squat 1.5 diddy (wont post my ohp its pathetic)
Also, if youre interested in lifting, the forst half of arnies 'total recall' biography is really good.

>le lifting for strength meme Congratulations on your misplaced vanity, love, 6' 225 lbs.
OP is probably describing ORM and, regardless, is being an autist about strength. Literally nobody outside the gym will give a shit if you can DL 350 or 450.
I actually reread that relevant passage of Republic just yesterday and was reminded of a crucial and very cool point I had forgotten from my earlier reading:
>[A person who's educated in music and poetry will] work at physical exercises in order to arouse the spirited part of his nature, rather than to acquire the physical strength for which other athletes diet and labor. (410b)
Cooper Diaz
>1.75x >2x >.75x
I don't understand what this means.
Adam Reed
It means that number times your body weight.
So 60kg body weight should lift 2x that for deadlift meaning a 60kg man should diddylift 120kg
I reached 1/2/3/3.5, but I got really bored of weightlifting and I didn't feel much benefit from it aside from strength.
Now I do high intensity interval training and I'll start bodyweight training soon. Sure, I'm not gonna be able to lift as much, but I enjoy it a hell of a lot more and I feel physically great.
People who take strength too seriously are usually manlets.
