numbers are just the equivalent of Vegans and anyone else who needs to brag to prove they are heros and superior... majority of the Olympians dont need to lift heavy for show and i doubt youll ask if they even lift haha

ETA: my husband pr'ed at 315lbs after working with a pl coach for 6 months. Highly unlikely, a guy can roll in and squat 400lbs on his first attempt.
this.
if he doesn't squat than it's Zero.
My male friends are 400-600 pound squatters. You're friend can't come in and squat that untrained. not happening.3 -

How do you know someones a Vegan? Dont worry, they'll tell you!
If you can catch my drift of number braggers youll see why its a Wan**rs bragging tool "Oh i can lift this much" but noone really cares...
Better to walk into a room and people know you lift big (physical muscle appearance) then be a guy that needs to brag about lifting big (small appearance or large and no muscular shape)1 -

In your (obviously biased) opinion.
Most powerlifters couldn't give a crap less about what people think of their physique. They're about how much weight they can put up, not kissing their biceps while taking selfies in the gym mirrors or looking like an underwear model.
And any powerlifter who can put up serious weight isn't exactly going to look like a pansy.6 -

Im talking from experience from the guys who don't compete or have any real reason to lift heavy other than an ego factor, and those serious guys wont brag numbers or even care about mentioning it0 -

You have a point here. Hell, my lifts are sad AF imo, and I still don't bother bringing them up unless specifically asked...and dammit, why does everyone want to know my bench? Benching is a glorified fun lift at best. No one ever asks for my deadlift. /sadface3 -

Your new reply just needs to be "What do I bench? Oh, about half what I dead lift." Then they have to ask.6 -

I started out doing 4x4 of 135 (atg) on 1 Jan 17, its been almost four months and I have finally progressed to doing 225 lbs 4x4. The hardest thing about it was having confidence to squat around individuals who were doing 3-4 plates on each side haha, one day Ill be there too!1

I've got enough "like" on for myself that I'm not going to get into my own numbers. That being said; Like many others have said "if your boys ain't lifting, he can't squat sh**". In my experience, most "dudes" are about %200 not as strong as they think. lol
If I were you I would just challenge him to an all around leg day, then laugh your *kitten* off for the week following when even a strong breeze hurts his legs..lol5 -
numbers are just the equivalent of Vegans and anyone else who needs to brag to prove they are heros and superior... majority of the Olympians dont need to lift heavy for show and i doubt youll ask if they even lift haha
What does this means? How do you know you've progressed if you haven't tracked your numbers? How will you ever achieve your fitness goals without progressive overload? Silly.3 -

So youll need to openly brag and have everyone else begging to know your numbers just to see you've been making self progress? I dont go bragging about my new PRs on lifts or my new workout routines for the sake of a self entitled crown because of a few numbers with plates
My point is, noone cares... you may care much like seeing the scales or shirt sizes reducing or getting tighter in the right spots but noone needs to brag and rub themselves in areas of proving an ego, if you are getting new PRs constantly and feeling great then awesome! but we dont need to hear comparisons or ego numbers to verify someone
This post was about a guy bragging about his squat weight compared to a female lifter, so identify the topic here and stick to it, dont pull out the muscle shirts covered in the blood of your fallen victims to start some waste of time response1 -
I squatted a fly once2

No, the hardest thing is still having a sadly low squat weight as a guy and seeing women squat considerably more, and doing it easier than you.1 -

It took me a year to put 10 pounds on my dead lift. I literally ran around my gym Saturday afternoon and demanded everyone watch the video.
I don't care that you don't care- you're going to watch and pat me on the *fcking back for all my hard work.9 -

Hey, @Gallowmere1984, what do you deadlift?
About 60 pounds less than my target for my first meet, so the answer is: not enough.

Oh, and to the OP, I got 87 kg at my first powerlifting comp last month.3

Isn't that always the right answer for "how much can you deadlift?"
Deads are my fav, too.2
