The average weight in their 20s is 168lbs though, like it says in the chart. 180lbs 1RM is pretty much 107% bodyweight bench press. Kinda hard to believe when I only was able to bench 190 for 5 @165 after like 4 months of training. Sounds like normies overestimating their bench. They probably did a weight for 5-10 reps and just calculated their 1RM.

>>39313697

I used to think fit looking people just won the genetic lottery, but now I realize pretty much every one of them works out in the gym but doesn't talk about it. They actually only mention it if you ask them about it. Then I realized how autistic I was in my first 2 months of lifting fucking telling everyone "Yeah, I'm working out now. Haha"

Yeah, pretty much the same, but it started with the /fit/ bit in caps and ended with the first bit. Fat neckbeards on a peruvian pottery bazaar claiming that they got to 1/2/3/4 in 6 months don't make me feel bad about my progress.
Reached my goal body and not even lifting any more. Doing stuff at home for maintenance and picked up other sports like climbing and MMA.

Making it means that you realize that /fit/ posters are mostly fat neckbeards who don't lift and e-stating DYELS. You should measure your progress relative to normies and maybe people in your gym, not anonymous faggots here.

Is that why I get evil glares when I do 3 x 10 pull-ups from the guy at the lat machine?

Is this even tested?

The average 165lb dude in his 20s isn't benching 180 unless they actually train which if you do you're no longer an "average American joe."

Maybe I'm just salty because I worked my ass off to get to 2pl8 bench.

>1 pull up

However they got these numbers, they did something fucking wrong

If you can bench 180 even once I have real doubts you'd only be able to do 1 pullup.

Is it? Fucking kek.

Fit makes me feel so weak, but everyone I've talked to irl, no matter how fit, has had some unimpressive stats by fit standards.
Coworker of mine with big pecs benches 180 for reps, other with like 3% bodyfat and super visible abs does like 170 max bench, chef built like a powerlifter who's been lifting for a decade has 3pl8 squat and 4pl8 deadlift
Every time I come here I feel bad about my 110 OHP, 178 Bench, and 365 deadlift (I'm 6'4" 180 lbs), but in any real life situation I realize I'm making it

Yes, I notice everyone's shitty posture, mainly their arched upper backs and their sloped necks.

I also notice when a female has good posture and an athletic frame, there is this one cheerleader in my chem lab who has that joocey booty, thin waste and broad shoulders (for a girl) and it's fucking hot as fuck. I really want to ask her out, but I'm not sure if she's interested. She smiled for the first time I've seen and it was at me and she's always looking at me, but I'm still unsure. Plus there is at least a 7 year age difference between us.

Oh I know, but I don't want to make it awkward between us because she's my assigned lab partner and I have to sit next to her for the next month until the semester is over. Then again I don't really care about her past making her my qtie highschool cheerleader gf. Hmm perhaps I will ask her out.

It's just weird cause I know I'm decent looking maybe even good looking, but whenever I ask a girl out more often than not she will say yes and then not answer my calls or flake out on a date.

It's worse than them just saying no (which isn't bad at all).

Seriously if there was a pill to make me gay I would take that shit today, fuckin' women.

>>39320169
It's not awkward if you don't make it awkward. I've been rejected by tons of girls I see everyday and there was no awkwardness at all after a day or two.

>>39313092

Just gonna quote the OP since I don't have the time to quote all the idiots ITT.

Why are you idiots comparing yourselves to others?

It's literally all of you.

Half of you are delusional and look like shit and think you are /fit/ because you look better than guys that DONT GO TO THE GYM LAMO.

In your case, comparing yourself to others is harmful because you STOP IMPROVING.

The other half think they look like shit because they compare themselves to Lotus, MasT, Bimbo, etc.

All of you are crazy.

COMPARE YOURSELF TO YOURSELF YESTERDAY DUMBSHITS. THAT'S THE PERSON YOU ARE AT WAR WITH.

>>39315840

cut idiot

I just just stopped caring because really, normies don't care. I used to do grey skull and ss before that and put on more than 30 pounds and still had visible abs. I made good gains but still had no gf, I was still confused as to why the fuck I am alive, I still felt small even though people told me I was big, and girls really didn't seem to care that much. Now I just do the types of exercise I like. I don't pay for a gym any more, I run or bike long distances everyday, do some light to medium calisthenics three times a week, and I feel better, and mentally I feel more stable. I am skinnier, but who cares, I wear a shirt all day, and still have abs and nice quads, and ok chest/shoulders with defined arms. I don't do half gomad or weird diet fads anymore, I have less acne, I am Tanner from being outside more. Honestly becoming /fit/ may have helped my body image, because it showed me that the gym lifestyle is cancer and getting big won't make you more confident or happy in any significant way. Just be healthy.

Normies give fuck all about proper diet/sleep/routine. If you can 1/2/3/4 for 5RM you are better than 95% of the population.
On the other hand comparing yourself to instagram/youtube fake natties or to people in the fraud general is retarded too, unless you roid.

Thats exactly why. I had some guy say "hah if you weighed as much as me you wouldnt be doing those" after doing my warm up set and I said "Yeah how much you weigh?" and grabbed the 45 lb difference and busted out eight reps which he just said "eh those are pointless anyway" smirked and basically tipped his fedora as he walked away. I just stood there shaking my head.

The only reason you see this is because /fit/ is predominately

1. Fat
2. Skeleton.

People don't appreciate how much being overweight adds to your bicep. Like for real, if you're overweight you'll be adding 2 - 4 inches to your bicep that isn't actual muscle.

So they measure that and are like

> PSSHHh ahahhaha n-nnnice bicep, DYEL?

When realistically if they lost about 20lbs they'd have the exact same size as the people they're dissing.

This is the problem with the internet.
We have these retarded anonymous posters who have basically created a set of standards that are unattainable by anyone who is not Arnold or Phil Heath, and then everyone buys into the shit and we get crippling body image issues for years.
Ignore all the charts/studies, ignore the internet, just actually look at people when you go out in public and keep a mental note of how many people you saw (roughly) and how many of them actually looked like they lift. Make a fraction, turn it into a percent, and that is the percent of the local population that actually lifts or at least looks like they lift. Congratulations, that percent is going to end up being less than 1% so consider yourself part of the top 1% of people Anon.
