Samthepigman | what would you consider 'strong' | 14-10-2012 @ 15:58 | |
See You Next Tuesday Member 2254, 3824 posts SQ 240, BP 165, DL 300705.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | If you met someone for the first time and you asked what he lifted, what would he have to reply with for you to consider him strong? (Bench dead sq overhead). For me i'd say 250 squat 300 dead 180 bench 140 overhead. | ||

Member 1307, 14110 posts SQ 355, BP 240, DL 370965.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq | hmm, me alot less, i'd say anyone who can deadlift over 200 squat (proper technique) over 150 and bench over 120 is "strong" i think sometimes with sugden having alot of top strength athletes on it our prespective of strong is alot higher. Most gyms don't ever see a 5 plate deadlift etc ! | ||

Tom's CNS is better than steroids Member 2886, 2973 posts SQ 190, BP 122.5, DL 210522.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | For me, say someone in my commercial gym... Erm 180 sq, 140 bench, 220 DL, 100 OH would impress me. If i was stronger myself id likely have a different view though. | ||

Most gyms don't ever se a 5 plate deadlift etc ! I suppose, but what would it take to actually impress you? Not just, 'oh he seems strong, compared to the average man'? | ||

Not just, 'oh he seems strong, compared to the average man'? then if it's compared to the average man then it's not massive numbers really. something like mine or a bit less is better than average. | ||

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | If you can walk into a gym and squat 140, bench 100, an pull 180 you are strong. You're not strength athlete strong but you're strong. | ||
