I look stronger than most people you'll meet.
I'm also weaker than most people in this forum Unhappy

Agreed. What's average on here would be strong in most gyms.

I'm weak, but I'm pale and soft, so it's to be expected.
People do comment i'm stronger than i look. Had a guy today impressed by what i was squatting.
Today I was only doing 8 @ 147.5kg and 3x8 @ 137.5kg. Childs play, imagine his face if he saw me on my next doubles session! Or someone who actually lifted!

190 squat is still pretty strong mate. I'm not just saying that because I'm currently unable to hit it. Its not elite level but your numbers are pretty advanced especially for your bodyweight.

some beasts on here. Don't think anybody in my gym has ever hit 800kg and some big guys have trained there. Lots of guys on here capable of well over 700kg. I think that's a huge number imo.

Cheers. As long as I'm getting stronger, i'm not too worried if people think i look or am strong. Progress is what matters. I'm also coming for your bench Wink haha

Definitely. Always get comments especially when I'm benching. You get a rather heavy (say 115kg) man maxing out on 100 and they always look suprised when I start doing reps on 150

Would depend on the environment you are in.

I've seen a hell of a lot of weightlifters shift some impressive weights that some not so familiar with the sport would be shocked by.

But your looking pretty strong these days, you look a lot different than when I was training at the university, definitely put quite a bit of muscle on since then.

There are some bloody strong people on this forum and indeed who have already replied in this thread.
For me its hard to say. I suppose i might look strong to some folf away from strength training, however i'd get out benched by most season trained teenage girlsUnhappy

Cheers Adam like to think I have changed a fair bit in the last year

I was more getting at when you see guys walking round at 110-130 and like 12-14% bodyfat yet cant rep a 180 bench when fat Sam came up to Leeds he was taken back by some of the units training in the gym I took him to yet few could deadlift more than 220kg

I should have explained the thought behind the thread

Getting fat is just as dumb as using PED's
