Perhaps you should increase the amount of weight that you clean

I just started training with a guy who'd never bothered with the gym before, and he easily hit 1pl8 on OHP, and 2pl8 on bench - the magic numbers.
He's a fucking builder though, used to hauling extremely heavy shit up ladders, often with his life on the line if he fails.
Just because you're new to the gym doesn't mean you aren't already strong as fuck.

I get that. It's just kind of depressing when I've been busting my ass for 2 months to get my form right and put 30 lbs on my clean, and this guy shows up and pulls even heavier

what were you going when he was busting his ass on the jobsite, or doing two a days in high school football, or whatever the case may be? don't let that shit get you down, bro. you'll make it. put your blinders on and don't fucking worry about what that other guy is doing.
