Guys whose whole thing is obsessing relentlessly over the righteousness of patriarchy and aLpHa masculinity are flexing and high-fiving over ... a one-rep deadlift max of 315lbs/143kgs.
I'm a year into to Casey Johnston's couch to barebell, fucking stoked I can RDL 125 for reps, and I feel like weak little child in this thread.
Lotta amazing swole peeps here of all gender, though.
My girlfriend recently took me to her unbelievably bougie Hudson Yards gym and asked “Why is that guy barefoot and holding the bar wrong?” I lit up like a Christmas tree.
eh i'd put it at 'reasonably dedicated hobbyist', so whatever the lifting equivalent is of someone who runs a couple marathons a year, but is never going to come close to breaking any records.
