what do you do for a job?
yeah, personally i prefer slow constant gains rather then fast and inconsistent gains, also less chance of injury if you dont try to force things.
The physical labour would probably have a lot to do with it (or maybe you were just born awesome?). The average child these days is discouraged from doing anything that resembles hard physical labour, and grows up to get a desk job where they further avoid hard physical labour. For them (and this becomes truer the older they get, as I've observed), even getting into a half-decent set-up for a deadlift (or any bent over movement) tends to take a lot of coaching. Most of them have never lifted anything more than 20kg without help in their lives and have no concept of bending at the hips.when i started lifting i had just turned 15 (3 months earlier) and dl 130 on the first night and had a stab at 140 but failed it. u would think fully grown blokes would be able to do at least 1 plate....
but saying that i had done a lot of laboring for my dad, brickwork, concreting, digging, different types of carpentry etc.
150 on the first time deadlifting is freaky! lol good work

A lot of the people here seem to have really good starting points to begin with and have demonstrated in this thread an apparent inability to comprehend that anyone has a worse starting point than them, will need more work just to get competent in the movements they're doing, and even with good coaching, good form and a good diet and exercise program will have a much harder time obtaining the numbers listed in this thread. I have a lot of respect for the physical capabilities of a lot of the people in here, but some of the attitudes seem rather arrogant. "If I can deadlift 200kg after a couple months training, why can't you?" Maybe because most human beings aren't you.
You're same sorta height as me Dicko but carrying an extra 30kg
Stop making excuses.
We arent talking about a 3 plate bench or 5 plate pull.
We are talking about a 100kg bench here. Its not heavy.
Levers dont mean shit yet.
Re-asses your training or stay weak. The option is yours.
Also, RyanF, I was 69kg at just over 6ft tall, have a wing span of 192cm and have the wrists of a 9yo girl when I started lifting.
Not many people on this forum are worse of, least of all Callan.
I made the numbers fine. Self taught, no coach.
Spot on sticky.
Sure these are just a numbers plucked out of the air but they are very reasonable. 100kg bench is not high and no matter what your levers and every other shit excuse people want to put up it should be easily achieved with hard training.
Also LOL at all you short arm blokes, talk to me when your wing span is over 2m.
i can't believe guys who have been lifting for 2-3 years still can't make all 3/3.
I haven't made a single excuse on my own behalf, I've only discussed why, in my observations, the standards in this thread are biting off more than a lot of people can chew.Stop making excuses.
