So whats the go with (as an example) benching - is it normal to bench your body weight? Or is it a pretty impressive thing to bench your body weight - or does it depend what your body weight is?
And what about other moves like squats, deadlifts etc?
I've been strength training now for only 6 or so weeks but I've seen a massive difference in a short period of time in what I can lift and I'm really keen to continue
Benching is a tough one... much more reliant on height IMO. I'm short and can easily bench my BW. I consider 1.5BW bench good... Squats 2xBW, Deadlift 2.5-3BW is great
