There are people on this very board, right fucking now - that cant bench over 2pl8, squat 4 and deadlift 5.
Why you even trying?
Because fitness and health, contrary to popular belief, covers a lot more than just lifting heavy objects and putting them back down
So, OP... just how insecure are you overall?
Any plans on improving your self-esteem so you no longer need to constantly mock others to feel acceptable?

>dodging OPs question to backlash as a result of feeling inadequate
ok twinks
I am here to learn. I'm not giving out any advice.
>>36456818
So that one day we CAN do those things? How is this a serious question?
Oh, and congratulations on hitting those numbers for the first time ever today.
>>36456818
Post video.
(Congrats on your PR)
>>36456882
>those lifts are so incredibly huge to me i cant cant believe it without video proof!
Says more about you than you think
>>36456818
So in other words, one of two things:
1. You're not making any progress yourself and want to feel relevant, therefore shitpost
or
2. You're such an insecure beta cuck that you have to bully others in order to feel in control
Either way fuck off. People progress at the rate they progress, and making beginners feel like shit because they're beginners is fucking pathetic. You're a piece of shit and should feel like a piece of shit.

2 plate benches are pretty common desu, especially if you are fat. But 4plate squats and 5plate deadlifts are usually very rare at any commercial gym / fitness spa.
Why you faggots so butthurt over a thread like this? baka desu

Ruined my whole morning
>tfw bench 3, squat 3, deadlift 2.5
>>36456818
Because I don't want to be a "strongman". I have no need for it.
The time you have to put into lifting past the intermediate stage is not viable for people with a life. It's like training to be an NFL football player without playing football. There's no need for it.

Observe, Mother, for I have created the same thread yet again.
>>36456818
Considering these replies OP, I'll have to bump my intitial rating of 3/10 to a solid 5/10.
How can I deadlift heavy if I can't supinate either wrist due to an injury?
I can double overhand 4pl8 but anything past that is a shit show. Pressing is fine if I use wrist wraps and I squat a little over 4pl8 weighing around 190lb.
been lifting for two and a half years and I hammer the grip training, but shit feels unstable.

Shittiest excuse of the fucking year

because it's not a competition. it doesn't matter to me what other people or doing or what other people are capable of because it has nothing to do with me. the only person I need to outdo is myself.
also, this.

I have the same issue, just use double overhand with straps

I have chalk, but I don't know what straps or hookgrip are, sorry.
>>36457232
... Really?
Straps basically tie your hands to the bar. So grip is taken out of it.
hookgrip is what oly lifters use, google it. People have deadlifted well over 900 pounds using it.
>>36457251
>... Really?
Yes, really. I just lift with a garage setup my uncle passed down to me and didn't have much instruction.
Thank you though.
>>36457232
You wear em on your wrists and wrap em around the bar. Makes you able to grip herculean weights.
>>36456818
THAT PUSSY IS GOING SO FAST HOLY FUCK
IT'S GOING LIGHT SPEED
>>36456818
to reach that point someday
/thread
>>36456818
the journey is more exciting than the destination :^)
you have nothing left to enjoy but desperate antagonization
remember the rabbit and the turtle my dumb friend
Because I just started a month ago and I bench 90lbs, squat 140lbs, and deadlift 90lbs. I wanna make it brehs, don't discourage others , help them get to where they want to be.
>>36456818
so i can one day do that
>>36456832
listen here you sensible fucker, i may have a 8 minute mile but I can bench 5 plates so fuck you. Who needs fitness when you have self ego
>>36456832
Crossfit detected.
>>36456818
>why even bother to improve if you're not perfect
>>36456818
Because I have to try. Sure I could give up because it's a goal I might never accomplish, but I find I'm happier when I try to accomplish things. Also my dad could bench over 2pl8 and had at least 3pl8 as a 1RM, but very rarely trained legs so idk about the rest.
There are people in this site, in this board, in this thread that can't run 5 km.

Why even keep your legs if you can't do what they were design to do
>>36459702
>implying its a matter of legs giving out and not your breath.
Can you even stand up with 225 pounds on your back or is that too heavy for your 165 pound "runner" physique?
>>36459733
Do you dare to take the name of your lord Scooby in the desert?
>>36459733
what are you trying to say? not that guy, but i'm 165 and squat over 3 plaets..
please just go be fat somewhere else
>>36459813
Congrats on your beginner lift
>>36459813
He means it's not a matter of your legs giving out from weakness but a matter of low stamina
it's pretty fucking obvious considering it's the first sentence in his post
