Is benching 400lbs good enough for people in the gym to look?
Oh boy another classic /fit/ stealth demoralization thread
>>74205560It's terrible, they never shut up. I'm constantly approached by people that what to speak to me. Thanks to Sleepy Joe and and the radical left Democrats. I can't afford a home at 7+% interest rate to put a home gym in, so now old people and minorities think heavy benching is an invitation to hear about their recovery from heroin or what they waste their miserable lives doing for a job.
pretty sure 1/2/3/4 is already stronger than 90% of people, maybe even 95+%.
>>74205588Seek help. Take your meds.
>>74206467Only Indians but they're not exactly people
>>742055601/2/3/4 is stronger than 99% of people on the planet.
>>74205560did you make this shit graphic to get you's bc it's working. half of people aren't squatting 3 plates. how many people can do five real pull ups?
oh you bench 400lbs? post a video
>>74205560Yeah but came you really bench it? It's a world of difference when you can actually use weight for different grips and try to hit different muscles vs if it hits your chest you gotta roll it off.
>>74206467Most women yeah but that's baseline strength for any guy who has a manual labor job.
>>74206714most manual labor guys couldnt do any of those. probably none could do the last 2 assuming theyve never been in a gym. maybe a fucking literal lumberjack
>>7420556050% of people where?I assume this is referring to gym regulars,athletes or physically fit people in general for otherwise this thing is all over the place.
>>74205560>4 out of 10 people, including children and the elderly, can OHP 225
>>74206878Seems like a reasonable standard to me. I saw 3 guys ohp 225 lbs yesterday and they all looked pretty dyel.
>>74205560>5/6/7/8>Stronger than 90% of peopleDo you live in planet vegeta?
>>74207065>DYEL>Ohp 3 platesThey're either:a-fatb-not fat, and apparently not muscular, which means they can OHP around 1.5x their bodyweight, which is on par with worldclass strength athletes.
>>74205560kill your self
>>74205560>6 pl8 ohpFuck off OP, world record is 200 kg (401 lbs)
>>74206829They might be able to do 2 plate bench and 4 plate deadlift (especially the latter for grip-heavy jobs) but with snap city levek form. Assuming that they aren't already injured in their lower back/shoulders
Just by doing 1/2/3/4 you are already stronger that 90% of the population.
>>74207408More than 99%How many people in the street do you think can deadlift 4pl8?
>>74207427Only the mexicrement daylaborers
>>74206467>>74206878>>74207164DYELs spotted. Maybe if you lifted instead of complaining on the internet you could actually achieve something. OP picture has been mathematically proven and no amount of cope will change that
>>74208002>DYELs spottedstart with an insult, preferably in board specific jargon. initiates authority/knowledge based flex>Maybe if you lifted instead of complaining on the internet"maybe if you x instead of" anchors authority established by the first sentence>OP picture has been mathematically proven and no amount of cope will change thatappeal to nonsense authority - the original claim usually - always includes 'cope'its obviously nonsense that 10% of the population can ohp 495lbs. what i like about these threads is that i get a stronger and stronger feeling every time i read them that its the same guy. that these threads appear so often means you are one of three things: an incel - the crabs in a bucket mentality is a very strong indicator (look at this ridiculous standard, none of you can achieve this everyone should just lay down and die like me)or you're a tranny - the only living category of people who are so insane that they would actually take the time to post like this, consistently, day in and day outor this is a bot. bots, unfortunately, are indistinguishable from transexuals and incels.if youre not a bot, at least change your formula.
Damn this image really made the dyels seeth lmao
>>74208165you're fucking retarded
What does 1/2/3/4 mean?
>>74207427I'd image 60% of the male population can do 2,5 plates, but not consistently or completing the reps.
>>74206467post wrists
>>74209275kilograms
>>74206467>pretty sure 1/2/3/4 is already stronger than 90% of peopleLol no
>>742064671/2/3/4 is already stronger than 99% people.Fitness culture is smaller than people think, it is actually alarmingly bad how "few" people exercises consistently.The dyels denying that in the replies either never lifted in their lives, or are powerlards for some reason believing their fatass program is common.
>>74209386lol yes
>>74205560>1pl8 only advances you 10%kek there's no way 30% of the population can do 3/4/5/6
>>74209696> he doesn't knowThey can and most of them are in Africa obviously. But they do exist. Australia too
>>74209696There's no way 30% of the population can even do 1/2/3/4
>>74209734>
>>74206467Way way WAY stronger than 90%. Absolutely not in a million years does 1/10 of the guys at the gym (let alone outside the gym) lift 1/2/3/4.
>>742092751 pl8 ohp2 bench3 squat4 dl
>>74205560400 lbs is beginner level where I lift/live. gonna have to try harder little buddy
>tfw when you're in the top 40% of people>realize adult men make up less than 40% of the population
>>74205560Hmm... So you're telling me that if I walk up to 5 random people, 2 of them will be able to ohp 2pl8s?
>>74210039no, if you were to randomly sample 5 people an infinite number of times, then the average number of people that could ohp 2 plates in each random sample would converge to 2. idiot
Reminder that any percentage of "people" includes millions of geriatric population, kids, babies, women; cripples, those seriously injured and the sick, cancer patients and so on. And of course the morbidly obese and the underweight skellies who can't even bench the bar alone. Now if we're talking about fit men of course that's a different story.
>>74210059>womenOP said people not objects.
>>74210039Sounds about right yea. Unless you're purposely going up to dyels
>>74210075that was brave and stunning, lil' chuddie
>>74205588Based
>>74205560>really tryin to say 40% of dudes can ohp 2 plates and bench 3
>>74205560completely retarded and reductionist. i don't think anyone ever hit more than 5.5 plate OHP.i'd say 1/2/3/4 makes you stronger than ~80% of men and ~99% of women hence more like stronger than 90% of people. even that's a stretch because most men don't even lift and manual labor alone doesn't get you anywhere close to these lifts
>>74206714You're delusional. Manual labor doesn't produce a strength adaptaion significant enough to get you to a 2 plate bench or a 4 plate deadlift. I imagine only some obese 50 year old with innate strength could get close.
>>742055604/6.5/10/9.5 Checking in How do i up my overheating and bench strength? Im tired of lower progressing easier.
>>74205560is benching 400lbs really worth it if you just look fat?
>>74205560I benched 290 and there was a whole group of mexicans watching and asking me shit
>>742092751 wife2 homes3 kids4 million in savings
>>74205560>tfw can only OHP 5 pl8 after years of liftingi'm never going to make it am i bros
>>74205560>>74205560https://exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandardsTo end this debate 1/2/3/4 is not intermediate and def 50% of people who lift can do it. But I have only seen a 3 plate OHP once in my life in Asia by a guy who was prob training be in the olympics.
I'm not even making this up when I say this: I have been going to the gym for 2 years now and I have yet to see literally ANYONE squatting anything more than 2 plates ass to grass lmfao, that picture is obvious fucking bait and youre a massive faggot op.
>>74211640I been going for 5-6 years best Ive seen is 4 plates and myself I am a roider and I can do 425 for 3. Only see 3 people do it myself is one. Seen 315 lbs bench a few times.
>>742055603/4/5/6 is already world-class strength mate. barely anyone can do 2 plate OHP, let alone 3pl8, unless these are standards for lard elementals, only 5pl8 i saw was from a guy doing 1x bodyweight and he started at elbow heights>good enough for people in the gym to lookyou are retarded, you do not lift, and i will not continue this discussion. faggot>>74205579fpbp
>>74211653Seething dyel lmao
>>74206467I feel like 1 was pretty easy to hit, 2/3/4 less so. OHP has always been easy for me though for some reason.
The bare minimum for any man is to be stronger than the strongest women:https://worldpowerlifting.com/records/womens-world-records/
>>74208002post body
>>74211607Having four wives is both short arm pilled and islampilled
>>742055601/2/3/4 puts you at 95%ile of men, probably 99%ile if you include women.
>>74206467He's right you know.
>>74210057Retard
>>74209386you don't really understand how weak the average normalfag is
>>74205560this implies that one in ten people can press 495 overhead. Nigga are you retarded sage as fuck
>>74206467Not really. Was on a marine base for my school house and a old retired NCO was walking around the building. Me and a few dudes were fucking around on the bench press with 225 and dude ask if he could join for a bit.He got on and did 10 reps. He hasn't worked out in years but all he said was, "huh, I still got it" and carried on with his day. Just casually moggs most of us but plenty of marines can do that.
>>74214400I ACTUALLY SIGNED UP TO FIGHT FOR ISRAEL AND MY BROTHERS DIED FOR THAT 15 PERCENT DISCOUNT! MY BEST FRIEND DIED FOR ISRAEL SHOW SOME RESPECT! MY BROTHERS DIED FOR ZOG I DEMAND MY 10% OFF!!!
>>74206714Worked hard manual labour all through the summers during college. Lmfao no. The only thing you really get a lot stronger is your forearms (grip) and mid/lower back from picking shit up all the time. Rarely if ever do you pick up anything that weighs more than like 60-70 pounds
>>74205560To answer OP's question, yes. Pretty much anything above 335 gets people to look at you.
can't find any credible studies. best i could find is this site that takes some lifting tables and does some math to estimate how many americans can bench press 2pl8.he estimates 0.4%https://powerliftingtechnique.com/how-many-people-can-bench-225/
>>742064671/2/3/4 is stronger than 90% of men. because less than 10% of men even workout at all, so there is zero chance they are capable of doing that. this fucking echo chamber really fucked with your brains. 10% of the male population is an enourmous number, they cant bench 2 plates are you retarded holy shit lol
>>74215491A lot of men are stronger than they look. I have seen a couple of fatasses and skinnyfat dudes bench 100kg out of nowhere
>>742155760.5bw bench is meaningless
>>74206467It is but its cause zoomers are the lowest test generation so far.
>>74209835do you happen to live in asgard ?
>>74206467this is completely true I think this is a demoralization discord thread judging by how this post got mobbed. It's probably stronger than more than 90% of the population even if you cut out women entirely.>>74214400what the fuck does this have to do with anything that one old guy happened to be strong as fuck. also obviously marines are going to be much much more fit than the rest of the population, probably more fit than most gym goers even. What a stupid post.
>>7420938680% of people don't lift at all, and half of the ones that do don't have a 1/2/3/4
>>74205560like why are these such hard numbers? 400 lbs? like if u weigh 300 lbs how hard is it really to push 400?I weigh like 60kg. My bench press is 80kg. Which I think is quite fine. I definitely already have a nice chest. I'll just keep pushing 80 idc.
>>74215491you dont need to go to the gym to lift 1/2/3/430 years ago EVERY non-disabled man over 16 could do it
>>74218077post body
>>74205579Fpbp
>>74206467Yea but 90% of people dont even lift weights. Why on earth are we comparing ourselves to the average untrained normie?1/2/3/4 is a pretty standard benchmark and you should be comparing yourself to regular lifters.
>>74205560>>74206498I guess it depends on the gym. Benching 225 for a single rep is stronger than 99% of people on the planet. Doesn't mean I'd take notice. 400lbs, haven't seen anyone bench that in my smallish gym, so yeah I'd be impressed. Probably not that impressive in elite powerlifting gym though.
>>74205560Virtually unachievable doing some dumb ass ppl routine, so yeah. Aren't a lot of people on roids not even repping 4pl8s?
>tfw when 1/1.5/4/5>tfw when untrainedFeels good working a man's job
>>74220788>tfw when 1/1.5/4/5>tfw when untrainedNobody cares about your 1plate lift brah.
>>74220402I'm pretty sure most people are just pussies, no way the average person can never achieve a 4pl8 bench natty.
>>74220979Don't care. I'm most probably more athletic and nimble than you. Let me guess, you're a 250lb+ powershitter? I don't even train and could outrun you, or just beat your fatass into the dirt.
>>74205560yes. my current gf said she only dated fit hockey players or a football player then we went to the gym and she was shocked I could bench 3.5pl8. also dating a hot stacy is only worth it in public.
>>74211850You're a white and racist. God gave you upper body strength to rule over mankind.
caring about lifts = fat
>>74214400Retard alert
>>74214400>n=1>in a marine base, so everyone there is a warrior and needs physical strengthYou're a fucking idiot if you think an average dude you pick off the streets can do that.
>>74222693but you are neither aesthetic nor strong, dyeldo
>>74205560>implying there are 34 million people in the usa that can OHP 485lbs(220kg)amerilards win again
>>74218973Both comparisons can be relevant
>1/2/3/4>stronger than 50% of peopleIsn't it more like 90%?
>>74211640this is a bait thread for starters, also, people dont realize gym forums and gym social media posts dont reflect reality, in a commercial gym, only a select handful of people can do 1/2/3/4 for reps out of the several hundred members
>>74223803Probably closer to 99%. The chart is so laughably obvious bait I feel bad for anybody who doesn't realize this, they're probably so dumb they haven't figured out how to breathe through their nose yet.
>>74223918im honestly baffled at how braindead some of the posters on /fit/ are, this place really did turn to shit over the years. Every time a overall strength post is made, the retards come out of hiding
>>74205560>30% of people can shoulder press 140kg and bench 180kg
>>7420646799% at least
>>74211850>OHP has always been easy for me though for some reasonI'm jealous of you. t. cursed to do squats
>>74205560i still have no idea what these numbers are
>>74205560I can ohp 50kg , bench 70kg, dl 100kg. Squat idk never did it
>>74226844larp,you can lift way more than that liar
>>74225721Plates (45lb per side). Press/Bench/Squat/Deadlift.1/2/3/4 means 135lb press, 225lb bench, 315lb squat, 405lb deadlift
>>74227032>2*45=135>4*45=225mathlet
>>74226844congrats, you are stronger than 20% of people (mostly women, children and cripples)
>>74227235hmm 1 plate per side is 90, and I'm lifting them telepathically... damn I guess you're right, there's simply no accounting for that missing 45lb
>>74227235pls form check
>>742055601/2/3/4 is stronger than 90+% of people.
>>74227784More like 99% if we're going by general population
