Member 5031, 1417 posts SQ 230, BP 140, DL 275645.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | 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! | ||

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. | ||

Progress is what matters. I'm also coming for your bench haha | ||

Mr.Potato deadlift Member 2675, 4618 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 300800.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | 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 | ||

Member 2509, 123 posts SQ 335, BP 237.5, DL 380952.5 kgs @ 106.4kgs UnEq | 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. | ||

salad dodger *missing* Member 1805, 10367 posts SQ 215, BP 121, DL 240576.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | 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 girls | ||

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 | ||
