What percentage of guys actually lift?

[alec935]

I'm in college so it's a bit skewed

How many people in the real world are actually jacked?

[GODself]

It depends on what you consider jacked


"Real life jacked" or "Misc jacked"?

This.

I'd say the percentage of adult men over 25 that lift are about 5%. Smaller percent have impressive physiques even by irl standards.

Bout .350% would be looking thick, tight, and solid

34, almost 35. Wife is 32. We make it to the gym 2-3x week, but are overall pretty active.

90% of our friends are about the same......but that's probably skewed because I refuse to be friends/hang out with fat lazy people or people who are "too busy" to go to the gym but are fat and want to talk about all the tv shows they watch and they probably dont want to hang out with me, because we'd have nothing in common and I have no respect for people who choose to let themselves go or value the taste of food more than their health....there needs to be an understanding and a balance.

Less than 5% of Americans get 30 minutes of exercise a day.
Even less than that lift as their form of exercise.
Even less even look like they lift.

Literally less than 1% of people.
But you *******s complain about not being able to get women.

The average age for American men is 30 and married so it’s probably low

This, repped

Alot of lifters at my gym don't look like they lift. They are in shape, but not enough muscle mass to fill a T or look swole in anything but a slim fitted shirt.

If by 'guys' you mean males, then I guess it would be a tiny minority, as they are mostly focused in the 18-35 range.

[wave_length]

Only guys in my age group who look like they lift are at my gym. Old school, hardcore PL/bodybuilder gym.

Very few lift at all and even fewer lift heavy and proper. What college are you going to?

[BulkingIsHard]

In STEM, it ranged from 5% to 15%. Never explored the rest of campus because college is for ****s and degenerates.

I lived in a small town (10,000) with one gym. The gym probably had 200 members tops. Add another 100 or so that lift at home, so it's about 3%.

[I3igAl]

Among my close friends from school 4 including me currently lift, 6 don't. One is a personal trainer, one is tiny and you'd never notice he lifts let alone has been lifting for 15 years, the last one just started sports again after nearly a decade of no physical activity whatsoever, and I am a bloatmaxxed wannabe powerlifter.

Among the 5 nonlifters are 2 former lifters, who got injured and stopped, and 1 guy, who only plays soccer but kinda looks like he lifts. He is a supermanlet at 5'3 maybe that's why.

[HYDRAE]

30.2% of the adult population meets the minimum muscle-strengthening exercise recommendations (two or more times/week). That's a really low bar to clear though....so guess, maybe 10% of that group look like they lift. Imma guess ~3%.
