Strength standards of the past
Deadlift:
>under double bodyweight: get to work
>double bodyweight: ok, you lift
>over double bodyweight: strong

Press:
Under bodyweight: get to work
Bodyweight: ok, you lift
over bodyweight: Strong

>strict curl
bodyweight minus over 50 pounds: get to work
bodyweight - 50 pounds: ok you lift
withing 50 pounds bodyweight: strong

to be continued
>>
I weigh 180lbs and deadlifted 395x5 this week and feel weak. I won't feel strong until I can pull 500.
>>
>>39513638
thats good strength, even better ambition.
how much u press?
>>
>>39513673
Lmao1pl8

I've been cutting and it's been stalling hard as fuck.
>>
>>39513685
honestly just practice it more. also dumbbell pressing helped me alot. try dumbbell clean and presses and see saw presses (personal fave)

im at 90% bw right now
>>
>>39513605
>strict curl
>your bw - 20 kg

But at the same time:

>deads
>double BW
>OHP
>just BW

Really now? The only people I've seen capable of curling 70+ kg at sub 90 bw were armwrestlers.

Either bump OHP to 1.5 bw and diddy to 3x, or lower the curl.
>>
>>39513605
BW-multipliers are stupid though, they favor turbomanlet twinks.
>>
>>39513747
ive curled 110 and im 165, so im rpetty close to the standard
>>
>>39513765
50 kg isn't 70+, lad. Come back once you break the 70 kg mark, which is probably never, unless you dedicate a year to it.
>>
>>39513605
Are we talking bench or push press?
>>
>>39513828
im not understanding what you're getting at.
say ur bw is 200. a curl 150 and above is very impressive. below 150 means get to work.
>>
>>39513885
strict overhead press, not push press. bw bench and push press is pretty easy
>>
I hope all of you faggots that do old time strongman exercises have handlebar mustaches and ride a high wheel bicycle everywhere.

You're the fitness equivalent of weaboos.
Ye Olde Faggots
>>
>>39513898
>implying theres anything wrong with doing olympic lifts, deadlifts and presses
>>
>>39513890
Ok, let me re-phrase:

There is a shitton of guys who can deadlift 3x bodyweight and OHP 1-1.25x bw, but I personally know only one person who can do a strict (ass and torso to the wall) 70 kg curl at sub 90 kg.

A strict 70 kg curl at that weight is equivalent to a 180 kg bench press. Guy in the OP only benched 160, for comparison.
>>
>>39513605
deadlift standard way too low
press too low
strict curl seems pretty low too at least for me. I'm not strong by any means but with a bodyweight of 160 curling 110 isn't that heavy.
My logic: If I can do it it's low
>>
>>39513950
theres literally a 190 lb guy at my gym that can rep out a plate for sets on the barbell curl, which equates to well within 50 pounds of bw for a 1 rep max.
meanwhile ive never seen anyone irl press bodyweight or above.

maybe we have different pop samples
>>
>>39513957
lol pretty much how everyone thinks. but objectively if you can do these things it means youve put in time to gain strength and youre probably stronger than 99% of the world population
>>
>>39513984
How many reps though? If it's ~6, then his one rep is just around 70 kg. And he's just a single guy in your gym, which was kind of the point: cut off for most people will 60 kg if you are sub 90.
>>
>>39513987
should be 3 times bodyweight on deadlift
1.3 or so in ohp
But having a strength standard for curls is pretty retarded imo
>>
>>39513605
>SNATCH
below bodyweight: get to work
bodyweight: ok you lift
1.2xbw and above: strong

>Clean
under 1.2x bw: get to work
1.2-1.5xbw: ok you lift
above 1.5* bw: strong

standards for the jerk are same as the clean.
>>
>>39513984
Really? what kind of gym do you go to? I reckon you're talking about strict press, but still.
>>
>>39514032
yea strict press. uni gym, decent amount of people who recreationally lift, large group of power liftiers, several oly lifters and a few bodybuilders.

im sure at least 5-10 people can do it but ive never *seen* it happen
>>
>>39514050
I havent worked out for long but i do 5x5 with 65 (143) and my bodyweight is 70 (154)
Out of those that workout where i go I'm pretty much the weakest :p
>>
>>39514075
any evidence? vid?
>>
>>39514097
nope, I don't film it. I usually dont think people have any interest in it so I don't bother
>>
>>39514160
i like your attitude.
