Listen the fuck up okay? You are "strong" when you

>>39008671
not even relative to bodyweight?

So if i weigh 300lbs, 40% bodyfat and bench 300 i'm stronger than someone who's 160 and benches 280 for reps?

>>39008683
Yep. You're strong, he isn't. Tough.

>he benches 300 with BOTH hands
kek
eat more meat skelly, you'll get there, maybe

>>39008671
Top kek. 300 is nothing. Anyone should be able to increase their bench by 5 pounds per session. So even if you start out as a twink who can only do 150 for reps, it should only take 30 workouts or about 15 weeks to achieve 300. OP confirmed 300 pound repping DYEL, why don't you post your 4 month progress pic DYEL?

But what if I can squat 230 kg+ :(?

>tfw can barely bench 100 kg x 5 but am squatting 206 kg x 5 on Wednesday

>only 300 lbs

Lmfao pussy. If you don't bench 5 plate you're not strong

Go back to where you came from you useless cunt.

>>39008671
>bench
Curlbros out. You are strong when you can deadlift 9 pl8. How much you bench doesn't mean shit if you can't do that.

Go on without me brehs. I am lost.

Can the strong people post pics. I wanna mire le badass physiques

I respect someone who is lean benching 2 plate a lot more than some fat fuck who can't watch his diet benching 3 plate.

>>39008671
Thank you for correcting the record

>>39008683
>muh strength is RELATIVE GUYS

no. the fat guy can lift more weight, so he is objectively stronger.

an ant might be able to lift ten times his bodyweight; that doesn't make him stronger than you.

Nah you're strong once you can bench 2 plates.

3 plates is very rare

>>39009900
>he counts the bar

>>39011127
>he counts the first pl8s

>>39008671
I only lift the bar for 100 reps (feeder workout).

This is strong too, right?

3pl8 doesn't seem like that much. that's only 1.5 pl8 on each side, or 185 lb. I see people doing that pretty frequently.

>>39011119
Fuck outta here with your twink shit. Girls bench 2pl8. You're saying its Ok if you can as much as girls who lift.

>>39011144
>Girls bench 2 pl8

In competition maybe

>>39011159
Your point? Girls are still benching well into the 200s, even petite azn qts. You sound mad that girls bench more than you while being 50lbs lighter.

The point is simple, 2pl8 is mediocre at best. No one here wants to be mediocre. No one strives to be on the lower end of the middle. To say 2pl8 is strong is selling yourself short no matter who you are. Period.

>>39011288
Sure but its still stronger than most. And only top tier woman can bench 2pl8

>>39011273
Did you just assume my existence you fucking pig?

>>39011292
Yes that is true. But if we're talking about being strong, we want to measure ourselves against the best. If you can walk into a commercial gym and be the strongest person in all lifts, you are strong. But walking into a gym where the strongest people congregate, you are middle of the pack at best. As someone who is in this hell right now, I no longer consider myself strong and think people should stop chasing low hanging fruit.

>>39011292
>only top tier women can bench 2pl8
>thinks 3 pl8 is strong
Ahahahahhha, women who don't even lift properly can do that.

Daily reminder that if you bench < 4pl8 you have girl tier strength

3pl8 is normie strong i.e 90% of gym-goers, even the ones who care about strength probably won't reach it unless they lift for a quite a while.

Compared to powerlifters though (actual strong people) 3pl8 is basically the bottom tier for males of any weight class. Candito benched 160kg paused at 83kg bw and his bench is dogshit (comparatively speaking). We have natties here in /plg/ who've benched over 4pl8 and even one SHW roider who benched 250kg and I guarantee none of them even consider themselves 'strong'.

It's all relative.

>>39011325
Get help you faggot. No one will give a fuck when you can bench over 300 pounds especially when you look like shit. But hey the day you're top tier maybe those strong dudes you're always mirin will finally notice you and let you suck their cocks

>>39011350
I agree with this. But I think the point of this thread is at which point you begin to be taken seriously by people. No one hits 3pl8 dicking around. If you can 3pl8, people will know you're probably someone who lifts seriously. If you see people hitting 2pl8, you more or less think 'thats nice....'without a second thought.

I think 2plt was considered strong back in high school. But yeah now I think 3 is pretty dumb good, no matter what your body weight is. Back in high school the most I benched was 270 (weighing 168) and I rember every one in school found that impressive. Now almost every gym I go to half the people are repping 2plt. 3plt is pretty difficult to achieve and I think 4plt or more is fucking super saiyan god mode cause so few people can achieve it.

>>39011397
You sound like a child who just realized they will have to work to get respected... No one is talking about aesthetics in here, only what is considered strong. So get your twink ass the fuck out, no one respects you. No one ever will.

mfw a dude i know from way back when goes to the same gym i do and he benched 375lbs yesterday.

>>39011109
That's not how it's decided in literally every strength sport

>>39011109
no he isnt. pound for pound, his body is weaker than the other guys. objectively, the real essence of his body is significantly weaker. every pound in one guys body is twice as strong as the "powerlifter."
