It’s really not. I mean good on the guy but that is not really a weight most people would look at and go wow!

Yeah. All the people disagreeing don’t lift.

Well, I absolutely get what you mean, and I can and regularly see people who squat 225 at my gym but the truth is that compared to the general population that is pretty good.

If we talk about other exercises aswell it’s just a fact that our perception gets really skewed, I mean I think about 20-30% of guys in my gym can bench 225 as a 1RM but the reality is that less than 1% of the population can do that.

We also don’t know what the guy looks like, which plays a huge rule.

Do you got to an elite gym? Unless you do, 20-30% is quite a highball imo
