It’s dismissing the opinion of someone with decades of training and competing experience; along with professional experience coaching hundreds of athletes.
The guy making this comment is a rank beginner with no knowledge to speak of (based on comments like my jeans no longer fit due to BW pistol squats).
IMO that is extremely arrogant.[/quote]
You find this ‘extremely arrogant’? What if they had the audacity to call Dan a “pussy dumbfuck”? Would you faint?
Come on.[/quote]
Yes I do, and it is.
Why are you so mad about a light hearted call out thread in the GAL forum?
It’s not like we are going to hunt them down and club them to death.[/quote]
Just the opposite, I’m wondering why you all are so mad over such an inconsequential thing. [/quote]
Who in the hell is mad here? If you can’t discern “anger” from “light hearted ribbing” you might want to consider the possibility that you are not socially well-adjusted.[/quote]
I thought that you were always angry …
I did speak a bit out of turn on the farmers walk, as I’ve never really done them.
Also, we may be at cross purposes on the definition of untrained. I was thinking of people who lift heavy-ish things fairly often but don’t train, since most people where I live have physical jobs. I didn’t think before I spoke though, I suppose a better definition for truly untrained would be some office worker who never does much of anything physical. So I agree, there’s no way that guy’s hitting those numbers no matter how gifted he is.
I’m about to DL right now, sumo still qualifies right?

Dan John mentioned 40 yards as a good benchmark[/quote]
I just skimmed it read a lot by Dan so just not had time to read again.
Thanks Flip

Im willing to throw anyone who doesnt go to the gym regularly into the “untrained” category…I dont care who you are, or what jobs you work…Joe Blowconsturctionworker isn’t going to be able to go into a gym and knock out 15 bodyweight reps in squats or bench, regardless of how many cinderblocks he carries underneath his arm at work.

A meter is a bit more than a yard. At 40 meters, you’d end up walking almost 44 yards.

There are some freaks out there though. I remember this one guy when I was in the army. I cant say he had never trained beforehand, but I never saw him in the gym or anything. During the initial physical testing he did 34 pullups and also ran the 3k in 9 minutes. He was really light, 65 kg or something, but ripped to shreds, with veins sticking out everywhere. I always thought to myself “what if this guy started training seriously?”.
Bottom line is there are some genetic freaks out there. They are however extremely rare.
When I started training I couldnt even bench half my bodyweight, let alone do a pullup lol.
[/quote]
That’s the point,they are claiming this is average Joe, not some Superman.
As an aside, Andy Bolton says the first time he squatted he used 500lbs and first time deadlift was 600lbs! (so not double BW trolol).[/quote]
Yeah true.
That is insane about Andy Bolton. Some people will train a lifetime and never reach those numbers he started out with.[/quote]
I can guarantee no one has ever squatted 500lbs to depth the first time they ever squatted. Andy Bolton is either misquoted, a liar or counting some kind of 1/8 squat.

No you can’t.
I have heard it a few times. Maybe it is not true.
We are however talking about without doubt one of the stronges people in human history.
Just because you couldn’t do it, doesn’t mean no one could.

He wasn’t misquoted, so you are calling Andy Bolton a liar.
