pound for pound

Pretty much. We don't live in a pound for pound world.

That's why I royally don't give a fuck if a girl manages to get a 130 lb. bench or some other dumb shit

op confirmed p4p biggest faggot on /fit/

Relative strength to size is just silly

Yeah, not like it's more difficult to lift the same weight at a lower bodyweight.

>>39153980

That's because small people are inferior, that's unfortunate and shouldn't be used as a point of pride

You can either move a lot of weight or can't

>>39153980
exactly...225lbs is still 225lbs no matter how big or small u are

Look up the square cube law. Pound for pound will be more favored towards smaller people. It's why bugs like ants are so strong relative to their own body weight. Obviously there's a bit more to the whole Manley gains topic, but overall it can all be explained pretty simply

>tfw a 125lb woman bench pressing 155lbs is considered more impressive than 200lb man bench pressing 340lbs

Fuck this gay Earth.

>>39153996
Exactly. Whether a mouse or a crane move it. Both equally impressive.
>>39153991
And I bet you can't :^)

In what context is a 1.25x bw bench more impressive than a 1.7x bw bench?

>>39153891
>"b-but pound for pound im stronger than u!!"

Said literally no one ever

>>39154060

Sure I can. I'm 6'3 and do a lot of weight. And couldn't facepalm any harder every time some manlet states his 1RM which is a fraction of mine but "good because he's [x] pounds"

It's female-tier. Shorties have leverage advantages and should utilize those to increase their weight instead of being content with "muh pound per pound"

One of my lifting buddies says it all the time. He's 5'6 150lbs and hasn't gained weight in a year but get butthurt like none other because his bench won't go up.

I've put on 30lbs in the same time frame and put 90lbs on my bench, but I'm 6'4. When we started he was stronger than me (he'd been lifting for years already) but now i've got him in almost every lift.

Dude never shuts the fuck up about bodyweight this and percentage that. Just fucking lift, who gives a shit what other people do.

>>39153909
winner LOL.

Also if you measure it up from a competitive stand point it makes sense.

Competitive weight lifting, boxing, mma. Also lifting to show off or brag to others makes you smaller then the rest.

So comparing yourself to someone smaller and feeling better is dumb.

>>39154031
Here. >>39154084
>>39154098
I know. When will they fucking learn? The weight classes at every single powerlifting meet and at the Olympics are just liberal bullshit.

>>39154098
>Shorties have leverage advantages
This

If anything, people should care more about how far they're moving the weight. I may squat less than you but I have to move it twice as far as you, because I'm so much taller.

>>39154128

>Just fucking lift

God I want to tell so many people this

>my lifts won't go up
>I was doing X a year ago
>I can't put on any weight
>what's your program
>look at my program
>you should try my program (t. weaker person)

Just fucking lift you asshats

and eat your protein

>>39154146

Funnily enough I really don't give a single fuck for competitive lifters outside of the heavyweights (and maybe those a tier below them)

If I'm going to watch competitive lifting I want to see the very strongest

>>39154098
>im 6'3 and do a lot of weight
>and do a lot of weight
>do a lot of weight

wut

>>39154175

I believe the implication in "do a lot of weight" is "can move an admirable amount of mass from point A to point B with respect to the abilities of the general population"

>>39154202
must be just an autistic way to say it i guess

>>39154166
Who gives a shit about Lu Xiaojun and Tian Tao? What they do are not even impressive. And Ed Coan? What a hack.

>>39153980
ants can lift a lot relative to their weight too. And I can crush ant.

No one fucking says they are bragging when they brag.
The fact that you had to mention how many times you rep that weight says enough. No one needed to know how strong/weak you are but you still felt you had to justify yourself by telling random anons on the internet

>>39154348

You mentioned a weight like it was impressive, I simply put that it isn't to me and why

now you're mad and I'm not sure why

Angry manlets are filing into this thread real quick

Tall people are both stronger in absolute strength, AND relative work done because they move the weight for double the ROM

Period

p.s. hang all manlets at the gallows

>>39154423
If that's the case your both a faggot and falling for bait

There's a difference between strength and performance. A 120 kg man benching 160 kg is strong, but it's not that impressive. A 60 kg female benching 140 kg is weaker than the man, but her lift is much more impressive.

If I was as strong as for example Richard Hawthorne I would find a way to shock people unaware of my strength

>be like 5'6 130lbs
>diddly 600lbs for reps

He is strong even for /fit/ standards, you guys have to admit that.

But yeah making excuses like "but I'm stronger because I weight less" is stupid. It's like telling NBA player that maybe he can dunk but for a shorter guy I jump "relatively higher"

>>39154508
No

Thats exactly what this thread is about

The woman is approaching an AVERAGE mans strength

She is below average in human strength, which is not fuckin impressive at all

A behemoth 6'5 strongman benching 500lbs is impressive. Anything relative is just some weak cunt fluffing their ego and making excuses

You're deluded. 97 percent of the world's men are unable to move anything close to 140kg. It's not impressive to have inborn traits that allow you to do actions more efficiently. It's inarguable that it's more impressive that someone takes a shit genetic hand and does the most they can with it. Are you impressed that a 7' tall person can dunk? If so you're easy to impress because they didn't have to work very hard to achieve that due to their unearned characteristics. In all, the less inborn advantages you have at a given sport or activity, the higher your ceiling for "impression" to normal people. You're likely a mentally ill person trying to stroke your own ego which does not allow you to see objective reality.

>>39153891
It counts if you're competing in a wheight class. Like in mma.

>>39154664
Nah

Youre a cunt

Being the strongest man on earth is more impressive than being the strongest 5'6 man on earth

How can you argue against that, you little retard?

Whether its inborn or not makes no difference. Thats just manlet rationalizations

You think the strongest man on earth didnt work hard to get his title? Shut the fuck up salty lil cuck

>>39154577
>She is below average in human strength
>140 kg bench press
>below average
You're full of shit.

>>39154664
Youre confusing an impressive strength feat with having an impressive work ethic and determination

Nobody cares about the latter

>>39154098
Do you get what leverage is and how levers work?

>>39154680

it also counts if you care about calisthenics...

you ever seen a powerlifter do a handstand pushup??

itt: /frauds/ who just wanna eat big, lift big and look like shit

>>39154814
Do you??

Manlets are better at pushing

Lanklets are better at pulling

>>39154444
>I was only pretending! it was bait!

Physics of scale.
An ant lift over 2,500 times it's body weight because of it's size.
Similarly, a manlet will be able to lift proportionally more than a non vertically-handicapped person.
This argument is akin to saying a grasshopper could jump 5 stories high if it was human sized, since it can jump 10 times it's length. Once the laws of science are applied it is shown that this is clearly not true.
Manlets are akin to insects in this manner; their insignificance gives them greater proportionate strength at their size, but they still cannot compete with the larger, superior species.

That's mostly an argument against fatties who think they're super strong, since gaining weight will automatically make you stronger so it's less impressive

OP it does actually mean something in terms of sports. You dont put a heavy weight boxer against a light weight, but does that mean the heavy weight is a better boxer?
