Answering The 1/2/3/4 Question

1 rep = you're not a novice lifter any more

5 reps = Things are starting to get serious

These are just generalizations though and dependent on natural ability and bodyweight

>>42762525
1/2/3/4 for one means you are officially a strong person

>>42762525
10x10 gvt style, obviously
practically anyone can do 1/2/3/4 for 5 reps nigga

>>42762525
I wouldn't say 1/2/3/4 is a true 1 rm.
But you can put 1/2/3/4 on the bar and get it for a easy single and a couple of reps.

Are freaking kidding me with this 1 rep shit?
>5 Reps
>5 Scoops
>5% baby!

>>42762525
I only plan to do 1/2/3 fuck deadlifts

>>42762525
It's 1RM.
If it's 5 reps, you specify "for reps" or "for 5"

It's obviously not very impressive to trained lifters, but it's a milestone you should be able to hit within 1-2 years of serious training (depending on how consistent you are and how well the other factors are taken care of)

>Under 5 years
>Serious

>>42763494
serious as in following a proper routine

i can ohp 1pl8 for more than 10 reps ez
i can bench 2pl8 for 10 reps
i can't squat or diddy due to fucked up lumbar

i never considered myself advanced or strong because im unable to do 50% of main lifts and it hurts

>>42763547
Its ok buddy, nobody irl cares if you squat and deadlift or not

>>42763547
just be a specialist, bro, that's literally the cool thing about strength training, you have an extremely wide range of options to suit your needs/abilities/goals

>>42763547
Bench only comps bro.

1234 is arbitrary, unbalanced and not a measurement of intermediate status

this meme needs to die

>0.5/1/2/3

>>42763583
It should be 60/100/140/160 to be balanced.

>>42763613
depends whether you're high or low bar squatting, conventional or sumo deadlifting, and on limb lengths

>>42762525
1 - 5-6 reps
2 - 5 reps
3 - 8-10 reps
4 - 3-4 reps

i don't feel that strong and have been battling injuries the past year or so, hence the low bench and ohp

>>42763621
Conventional/low-bar. It is still better metric on average.
