So why is it that most people outside of America are strugling to bench 3plates(srs)?

[mommaofobama]

ITT
-OP who doesn't know what the words "average", "most", and "typical" mean.
-Ignorant Americans who think Europe is a country

[themooseau]

It's because OP comes from Melbourne, capital of the *******s.

strong this.

op, pls go you southern *******.

[PovertySpotter]

OP is strong troll

[sparasda]

this is the most retarded thread ive seen today.

[Kev1972]

but all white people in america are from europe..


what do op?

Weaker breeding stock got weeded out battling the naitives. Wagon trains of peace.

[AcEXBOX]

I did 315lbs when I was 19. Most I've ever done is 345lbs.

[djcrix]

360 bench max
315 x 3
Trained for 5 years ; you mad op?

[Vigilante_Inc]

Of the countries OP listed, we Americans, are prolly stronger. But I'm going to go ahead and say that your cold vodka swigging countries prolly out do us out of sheer time.... I mean what else would you do if it was -40 outside?

We get kids into sports that require strength training at an early age. Football, wrestling, hockey, etc has kids in 9th grade already squatting and doing cleans. Bodybuilding is far more popular here.
Also: fittest city in the world is Minneapolis/St. Paul AKA my hometown (;

[surferd31]

the first question people ask is

"how much do you bench brah"

so us ameribrahs feel the need to accentuate dat dere bench cause you cant say 225 BUT I SQUAT 500 SO ITS OK

[cheerupemokid]

Rugby is tougher than american football, mma is mostly done by south americans not americans, the best boxers on the world are the Klitschko brothers, WWE I aint even gonna start on that one. Holland has 16/17 million people we're fuarking dominating kickbox. Only difference is that there's more of a weighlifting culture in america. I barely have friends who lift.

You're mistaken, MMA is big in America (the UFC is based in America, after all) and Americans dominate it:

UFC Heavy Weight Champion: American
UFC Light Heavy Weight Champion: American
UFC Middle Weight Champion: American
UFC Lightweight Champion: American
UFC Bantamweight Champion: American
UFC Flyweight Champion: American

[tryhard33]

just an average austrian

[Landybrah]

da **** u left out that ufc is an american promotion and also left out the welterweight champ and also people that have been dominating certain divisions for the longest time. gap and anderson silva to name a few. ufc is not as big around the world as it is in north america.

oh most people at gyms can not bench 3 plates only a small percentage are at that level.

[seanmaehwa]

Sick of these rep beg threads from aussies.

Kiss american brown hole and hope for. Reps.

Get a life *******

[TaxusBaccata]

american people all bench too much and have unbalanced lifts, i see many americans on this site with 315+ bench in their signature but they all have really low deadlifts, very rare to see an american with a deadlift in line with their bench

[IPlayRugby]

Most of my gym can bench that for reps..

So no OP its not just Americans

[Noxcho]

True some nations have different culture/mentality which makes them stronger people.

For example nobody in Europe knows how to fight properly, come to Chechnya and Dagestan and the level of wrestlers and fighters is so much higher here.

[Cfitz717]

Everyone should know by now that us Muricans are NUMBER ONE!

[Lombardment]

Its Obama.

[2Gainz]

Average gym goers bench 315.




U wot m8?

Srs this lol wtf

I just recently got over the 275 hill, and I have seen maybe 2 people do 315 for reps.

[ats94]

Proud citizen of the glorious U.S. of A checking in.

[1BarelyTho]

ive seen your thread mane, u benched 405lb thats crazy.

u play college football?

what sort of american food do you eat to get big and strong? and whats your favorite american food?

i've played college football years ago, and all i eat is chicken legs, oats, eggs, and wheat bread all day.

[Ronnie87]

If Americans do bench more, which I'm not convinced about, it will be because American football is one of the most popular sports and a big part of that is strength training.

Yeah off course Cain Valesquez is such an all American kid. Most of em are either of african or south american decent. Look at your basketball, nfl, baseball are all dominanted by mostly black or hispanics. In Holland it is prohibited for fighters who are from a different ethnicity to fight under the Dutch flag, eventhough they're born in Holland.

[spamy]

Americans are stronger because they use pounds instead of kilograms: 225lbs>100kg.

[HappyFunKid]

been gyming for 2 years and never seen anyone bench 3 plates
