Are the number of raw pounds a good indicator of lifting abilities? For example wouldn't it be better to use the ratio of self-weight that one can lift?
I consider myself reasonably fit, and I can lift around 75kg (~150-ish lbs). My bodyweight is 54kg(~115 lbs), with shoes on. Even if I eat 2 Schwarzeneggers a day for the rest of my life, I won't be able to lift 120kg.
- laurent_du 1y agoAre you talking about deadlift? If so, there's literally tens of thousands of people who can deadlift 120kg (and much more) at your bodyweight. Definitely achievable with a bit of training.
