Just a quick FYI…
I have a friend, 5ft10, 70kg, NEVER touched a weight in his life, horibly out of shape, lies in bed all day playing ps3…
I took him to the gym yesterday for his first exposure to exercise.
Within a couple hours of technical guidance, he squatted safely and technically correct, 100kg below parallel, 60kg bench and a 120kg deadlift. This highlighted to me just how strong the body is (even untrained!) if you use it correctly and efficiently. Technical improvements damn near doubled all of his lifts. His squat was a train wreck, knees buckling, zero posterior chain use, uneven hand spacing, poor depth etc etc, but it didn’t take long at all to fix all of these, and he squatted 100kg below parallel instantly.
My point is, he’d never got under a bar before, but once shown how to do the lifts correctly, how far away is he really from the numbers quoted as being adequate in this thread? I bet he could achieve them within a year, so if after years of training for a power based sport you can’t squat 2x bw etc, why not? Are you technically profcient? Are you putting in the effort, or are you just happy to settle for mediocrity?
