How is every lift SO high on the misc?

**The Main Event** · 10-20-2009, 02:43 PM

I know estats are a common trend online....but is everyone estating?

im 6'2 at around 210 - 215lbs, with give or take 10 - 12% bodyfat, been training off and on for years yet...

i do not deadlift more then 305, squat more then 275, or bench more then 225..
and this is with proper form, full rom, ass to grass, etc

then i come on misc and see people who look like they have 0 muscle, weigh like 160 lbs and all seem to be squatting in the 300s, benching in the mid to high 200s, and deading bordering 400

first thing that comes to mind when i see this...

explanations?

it's the internet.

**ChefXplode** · 10-20-2009, 02:45 PM

I don't know my lifts are pretty moderate -- 450 bench, 600 squat, 735 dead -- but its only because i spend most of my time working.

CEO, 10k/day... eats up a lot of time but it's worth it.

edit: (no e-stats)

Some people train for strength while you obviously work for size.

Logically most people on a site dedicated to working out will be stronger than the average guy in the gym.

Being behind a computer screen also helps.

**gixxer0.6g** · 10-20-2009, 02:46 PM

Cause............

Ur a pu$$y.

J/k. You have to add the standard 2" to your height, 15 lbs to your weight and 50% to you lifts or you'll be made fun of until you cry.

**Wiley1** · 10-20-2009, 02:47 PM

You're incredibly weak naturally i guess OP.

**Oldsport** · 10-20-2009, 02:48 PM

You could have bad genes.

**Ghosting** · 10-20-2009, 02:48 PM

Brah, you are 6'4 and bench 315lbs for a clean set of 10. You have 8% BF and an 8 incher.

The end

**DuLac** · 10-20-2009, 02:48 PM

I hear you. To compound this trend is the fact that damn near all of my lifts are the same, but i see people posting with deadlifts that are 2x their bench, and squats that are ~1.7x their bench.

I'd have some monster stats if i could pull off those numbers in relation to my bench.

**debil** · 10-20-2009, 02:48 PM

i've been lifting for about 16 years...

**TheAsianMan** · 10-20-2009, 02:49 PM

maybe its cause your 6'2 tall.

if you can bench close to your body weight than thats good, but squat should be in the 300's if you weight 200+ pound.

**N01SYtZ** · 10-20-2009, 02:49 PM

yo op, your lifts are ****ing terrible.
you've been training off and on no wonder, you probably lift with half ass intensity, have a ****ty diet and rarely get any rest.

**carpenter981** · 10-20-2009, 02:49 PM

if u weigh 215 and are benching only 225, training for years on and off, YOURDOINITWRONG...

Ive been training off and on for years also, weigh around 170 and bench 260.

Eat more and lift heavier brah

**Jburn** · 10-20-2009, 02:49 PM

People fraud man, its obvious.

I dont even participate in e-statting threads like "How Much Can You Bench?" etc.

Because everyone in there benches 315 for reps, especially the 150 lbers.

**bubba289** · 10-20-2009, 02:49 PM

its genetics man. i'm roughly your size and only moderately stronger but not natural.

yesterday on another board 2 guys posted deadlift vids, one is 19 and the other 20, both natural. one dude weighed 158lb and pulled 435lb, the other weighed 220lb and pulled 535lb. i will never hit either of those numbers even with gear and weighing 210lb. genetics.

but ya the misc is full of **** lol

It's not uncommon to see big bodybuilders who can't lift much weight compared to a 185lb, wirey power lifter. Strength and hypertrophy training is totally different. You can gain strength while working in a hypertrophy range, but the gains will come slower than focusing on a strength routine.

**DexterGT** · 10-20-2009, 02:49 PM

you are 210, trained for years and cant deadlift 300?

**Shangius** · 10-20-2009, 02:50 PM

i dunno brah. your deadlift is incredibly weak for your weight. there are guys at my gym i swear are 30lbs lighter but can deadlift around 30-40lbs more than me.

**relapz134487** · 10-20-2009, 02:50 PM

Dude i deadlift 305 and im 165 5'10. Although my squat is like ~250 and my bench is only 170. lulz.

**AndyS** · 10-20-2009, 02:51 PM

Maybe you just weak son? I was topping all three of those at 16

**Limons.** · 10-20-2009, 02:51 PM

your bench and squat aren't too bad, but god damn your deadlift sucks.

**sword_** · 10-20-2009, 02:51 PM

You train more for hypertrophy it seems.

No e-stats and I keep logs but I think you really mean ppl who are 150 soaking wet.

see heres the thing.... i know my lifts are weak....but im a good size muscle wise and keep getting bigger... i eat enough, arent fat and am a pretty clean 215 for my size yet lifts are garbage to what i see most of the people on here

i have really long arms and legs even for my height which ive always wondered if are affecting my lifts

this...lifting off and on accomplishes nothing. i took a two year break once for no real reason once, but other than that...only a week or so at most off every several months.

"on and off" = not dedicated to the heavy weight lifestyle

I think if you were as committed as the guys that move 4 plates you would have higher stats. That means not drinking beer, eating protein all day, and lifting 5x5.
