I often witness this phenomenon too.  Everyone on getbig benches 315x8 but in real gyms you see this very rarely even among “serious “trainers””.

Exactly. People are either full of shit here, or we just have a cross-section of much stronger men...or maybe a little of both.

I would notice if anyone squatted or bench pressed 405+. Never happens.

Can’t wait to pour a tall, frosty glass of metamyosyn protein and watch these shaved gorillas

It's very rare at normal commercial gyms.

But the hardcore gyms that are increasingly hard to find, have a lot of strong guys.

15 years ago, i lifted at a hardcore gym for a few years.

Used to see guys benching 400+ and squatting 500+ almost daily.

You have to remember that people that are this strong make up a very small part of the population.

And online pretty much everyone lies about how strong they are.

It's due to insecurity and bragging rights.

I posted a video of me squatting 635 pounds on here a long time ago. It was hilarious how many people discredited it as a normal lift.

This is Sparta Getbig.

We are the elite of the elite.

Go to a state level power lifting competition, that's the only place you will consistently see strong lifts.

My first state level meet, the guys in my class were opening with more than my max. And i had just won the local meet for my region.

Also, need to live in a big City with a lot of people. In Houston there were huge strong dudes all over the place. Here where i live now i doubt there are more than 1-2 people who can bench more than 350 pounds. Compare 4 million people to 90k.

That would be a strong lift even for a partial squat.

We're Getbiggers mad that you only hit exactly parallel?

Was at the gym with my buddy twice this past week, he is 31 and 6’ 245 natural and benched 365 for 10 and 405 for 10 definitely had a few more reps on both. He thinks it’s weak and only good for a natural. I think he’s crazy strong. No one else at the gym can do it and he got 315 for 20 on bench also. P
There’s lots of talk about strength but rarely do you see it in person.
