I'm sure he was 300 + lbs. He's 6' 2 + and looks like he's got a lot of fat on him.
Not to mention he had a bench suit + he probably juiced.

1) that is a record, which means it is the ABSOLUTE best..you can be really strong without being close to a record

2) that example was with a suit, which goes against what i originally said

3) you don't know my standards, so don't pretend too...and even so, how close are you to reaching 2-2.5x your bodyweight, and better yet, what are you doing to reach that standard?

2-2.5x your body weight is very strong, hence why people who can do that are called STRONG!
That's the difference between average, and STRONG.

You got that?

well saying someone isn't strong because they can't bench twice their bodyweight is kinda dumb, sorry

as for average, a great majority of ppl can't even bench their own body weight

i would say benching your bodyweight would make you average, 1.5x your bodyweight is decent, 1.75x your bodyweight is strong, 2x is very strong, and 2.5x your bodyweight would put you around the top of the strength tier haha

Good that will give me something to aim for...hopefully i could hit 315 in a yr or 2 and be like 145 or 150

Would be gg goal imo

that would be a nice accomplishment imo

i hope to get 450ish by the time i'm out of college..but i also hope to weigh somewhere around 240 by then as well

Im not trying to gain to much weight...wanna stay as low as i can and get as strong as i can for wrestling...be like 150 max by the end of college just going for 2x or more of my weight

well, i have no size restrictions...i need to get as big, strong and explosive as i possibly can so i can throw stuff further haha

1rep max = nothing, unless ur doing 8-10 reps, it doesnt mean anything.

Well ur going to have to get other reps higher ofc...I can put 185 up 8-10x so i think thats nb...gonna try getting 225 up that many times once i get stronger
