The number of strength standard charts that are out and about has to be pretty confusing for some.

This sounds fun.
Relatively strong? I suppose so. Iāve been hired through most jobs on my stature, and exceeded physical expectations. Iām always referred to at work as āthe horseā, ābiggunā, and āthe wallā (a play on my last name) etc. So I must have something going for me.
Strong as inā¦ where I want to be? Not by a mile. Theres countless people on this forum alone that can run laps around me on every lift.
By the standards?
Bench: 1.5xBW /375
Squat: 1.75xBW /420
Deadlift: 1.98xBW /495
Not abysmal, but far to go.

Just remembering this golden nugget from that thread. Most hilarious imagery I could possibly fathom.

Up until now I had no idea that dude got suspended for 1000 years.
Now Iāll never get the answer to my question about if has kids, after he said that getting less than 8 hours of unbroken sleep a night is irresponsible, even if youāre a parent.
Amazing he wanted to die on such a dumb hill after 10 years of membership.

I couldāve sworn it was a short suspension that thread landed him.
Nope! Suspended until 3019.
It was. Initially. Quite possibly there was some further correspondence between him and Chris via email or something. Not sure, but I know his first suspension was just for a few weeks for sure.
Dude was a tool anyways.

True, but you have your answer - nobody with kids would make that statement.

I never saw that thread, but I am retroactively amused now. I have also learned that, by Pistol Squatting Standards, I am not strong. Last time I attempted one, something in my knee went āsproing!ā and my actual squat took a flaming shit for about 5 months.

By typical societal standards, Tnation standards, and maybe even powerlifting/strongman(woman) standards, yes. Iām hella strong for a 5 foot young lady.

Pistol squats are unique as a means to hurt both the knees and lower back simultaneously. Lunges etc are better advised.
EDIT: I am strong for as long as I can lift my kids. Moving target.
What do you think of this classification (sorry the name of the exercises are in French), to be in a category (Bronze, Silver, ā¦) you must have validated 5 exercises (no more than one per muscle). First for women the second for men.
List :
Bench Press
Incline Bench Press
Decline Bench Press
Wide grip pull up
deadlift
Lying bench barbell row
Concept 2 row
Dumbbell Shoulder Press
Barbell Curl
Underhand pull up
Incline DB Curl
Dips
Close Grip Bench Press
Squat
Front Squat
Stiff leg deadlift
I think it is silly.

Can you explain a little more?
Itās just goofy to rely on some arbitrary series of numbers on certain lifts to determine what level of āstrongā you are. If in doubt, call yourself not strong.

I did not ask the question specially for myself, I just took their classification to have an opinion on it.
And thank you for giving yours !
I understood: I was giving my opinion on the classification. Itās silly. Classification systems for how strong you are are silly things.
