overhead press 200lbs

bench 300lbs

squat 400lbs

deadlift 500lbs

perform 20 pullups

once you can do this, you may participate in any other athletic activity, so long as you do not go below these numbers. otherwise stfu.

I should clarify - I mean the type of form we were saying the other day, a little wider than shoulders. If you're using chinup distance and just turning your hands the other way 20's not so so bad (I think I could hit it, actually)

what else do you see? what i see:

- the only other dudes i ever see besides me doing weighted chinups will literally end up moving about six inches during each chinup... then act all exhausted after doing sets of 12 like that

- i'd say 80% of people squat hips to halway up their thihg, instead of hips to knees

- 20-30% bench by bringing the bar halfway down, then pushing it up

-40% military press that way

I do see people doing the most RIDICULOUS things in the squat racks, like doing weak-ass modified pushups by basically leaning against the bar at a 45 degree angle and pushing off -- no joke

half-squats are highly prevalent, as are doods on roids putting like 900 lbs on the leg press and then only doing it halfway while screaming

also, any use of that calf-raise machine

people doing standing db curls but swinging and contorting their body and using inertia from this to get the db up

Also, I think grip strength is highly credited here. Metric?

I think static barbell holds or 10-rep pin pulls of 125x max DL would be a decent metric. I've never tried any CoC grippers, so I don't know how credited closing one of those would be here.

PROTIP: Competitive powerlifters rarely perform standard deadlifts outside of competition; instead, they use a variety of similar exercises, partial or full, that simulate the various motions of the DL. Try focussing more on pin pulls, chain-suspended good mornings, reverse hypers and other heavy exercises that strengthen the "DL muscles", including grip strength.

people should achieve absolute numbers and then worry about getting to a certain bodyweight, not the other way around
