The Likelihood That You See People Squatting Three Plates Or More Or Benching Beyond Two Plates At Your Gym…

Is slim. If you go to one of those gyms where diehards and pro’s frequent then sure…but the way some of you nikkax talk everybody at the gym is bumstead or Lee Haney

Look at what you said…Consistently…the average guy works more than he works out. Most people aren’t on it like that

I meant even part time
2x a week
2 chest workouts

Unless you're under 185 you should be able to get 2 plates at least once breh

You’re being an idealist for no reason. This is about how it is in the average gym versus how you think it should be.

I really don’t pay attention to other people at the gym but I was doing 2 plates in HS at 170 with no issue. I refuse to believe the average guy couldn’t put it up if he had to.

And to your point about work. I think most guys around 190 could get off the couch and do this if they’ve been able to do this in the past.

This is an observation about people in the gym. Who said anything about people not going to the gym?

Awesome. Once again, the people doing three plates and above are a minority in the average gym. This is not a revelation

I never said I do 3 plates. Currently I work more than I workout but I can get off this couch cold and push 2 plates.

I don’t think 2 plates puts me in the minority unless you want to count old men and the kids just getting their start

But I know how to take a compliment, I’m elite. Thanks

If you can do 15 pull-ups you’re not exactly winning a marine contest but the majority of people you come across in the gym probably can’t

It’s no different

Benching 2/ Squatting 3 is not impressive in any commercial gym I've been to. Where in the Planet Fitness are you lifting Oh Pee?



A 2/3/4 Bench/Squat/Dead isn't even 1000 Pound Club status, which is not impressive either unless you're 80 years old or female.


The average American male ( 5'9", 198 lbs., 40" waist, ) would be right on the 200 lb line of this metric from strengthlevel.com, so a two plate bench (225 lbs.) is between Novice (187) and Intermediate (246).

I go to Harbor Fitness in Brooklyn and I see it all the time.

Matter of fact I’m at a gym in North Carolina right non and there’s a dude benching two plates behind me.
