How do u know if ur physically strong?

[nala_rawr]

What's the best way to kno?

[SammyGurl]

When you can bench press at or near your body weight and dead lift at least twice your own body weight.

My guy and I like to lift together and have been since long before we got married, probably for around five years now. I'm benching win five pounds of my weight for a medium framed girl, dead lift twice plus a few. Dead lift has always been easy for me.

I got into weight/strength training to help me with softball, it helped a great deal. I qualified as a walkon for my Uni's softball team, they wouldn't give me any scholarship for it soo, I'm not playing softball other than rec. league.

[redeyemindtricks]

You can deadlift more than twice yr bodyweight? At age 19? Full range of motion with proper form?

If so, that's an elite performance -- you could easily compete in high-level powerlifting meets.

Out of curiosity, how tall are you? (If you are 5'5" or taller, then deadlifting 2 x bodyweight is even *more* impressive!)

[SammyGurl]

@redeyemindtricks I'm 5'-9" @ 145 lbs, and have Deadlifted 295 lbs 1X to see if I could do it. You are thinking deadlift to standing position from half squat, weights, resting on thighs not clean and jerk where the motion is continued to weight to chest level then pressed overhead, then down in a controlled reverse motion, are you? Agreed if clean and jerk that's quite impressive! I never knew that was so impressive for a girl to deadlift that kind of weight, it was a personal goal I set and met. Like I stated earlier, I've lifted with guys for about five years 3 to 4 times a week, I'm toned with decent muscle definition, but not gnarly muscley. Growing up in the middle of two brothers who never gave me any slack I'm very competitive from the word go...

[redeyemindtricks]

I'm not thinking of the clean-and-jerk... LOL if you could clean and jerk 295 lbs, you'd be about 40 lbs over the world record (which is 117 kg = about 258.5 lbs).

I'm thinking of... the deadlift. I'm a professional fitness competitor myself, so I know the terminology at least.

This page is fairly accurate as far as female standards:
strengthlevel.com/strength-standards/deadlift/lb

Note those are standards **on average** -- which means for women of average height.
The average height of a woman in the US is a little under 5'4". Worldwide, it's even less than that.
If you are 5'9", then you have about 20 more pounds of non-muscle lean mass (bone and connective tissue) than the average woman does -- PLUS you are lifting with longer "lever arms", which, by basic torque principles, puts you at a disadvantage relative to shorter lifters. (These 2 reasons are why Olympic weightlifters are ALWAYS under 5 feet tall.)
So, those things would make yr achievement even more remarkable!

[redeyemindtricks]

In other words -- because you are 5'9"... if we correct for the *actual* amount of muscle mass in yr body, plus the torque factor from yr longer legs and arms -- Yr lifts can more meaningfully be compared to the standards for a woman of average height (5'3"-5'4") who weighs 120-125 lbs.

[Xfitchick]

Its relative. One way is to check the maximum weight you can move with a certain muscle group. Or can you do full body pushups and pullups. Or can you win often in armwrestling.

[Xfitchick]

Thanks

When two people are struggling to picking something up and they call you for a hand and you tell them, just let me do it, it will be easier this way and you carry the thing nonchalantly like you're taking a Sunday stroll sometimes one handed. When something needs breaking and they ask you for help and when you get there they say send in the bull. Then in a matter of seconds it's a pile of ruble on the ground... :D <--- My life at times...

[TripleAce]

pushing or pulling at your weight or above

[nala_rawr]

Even if u get sore? Or if u get sore does that change things?

[TripleAce]

Sore is ok if you can work up to it

[Ripper_E]

If you can carry heavy things, according to your weight. If you weigh 100 lbs and you can pick up something that's 50 lbs then that's picking up half your weight.

[redeyemindtricks]

If you can't at least *pick up* 50 percent of yr body weight... you are doing life all wrong.

*Carrying* that weight -- especially over any appreciable distance -- is another issue entirely... but hopefully anyone can lift half their weight off the ground, at least.

[Ripper_E]

@redeyemindtricks No, not everyone can lift half their body weight. Notice I never said carry, I said pick up as in lift. Men or women, doesn't matter, not everyone is able to lift up to half their weight.

[redeyemindtricks]

"SHOULD be able to" and "can" are not the same.

[Ripper_E]

@redeyemindtricks True, but to say should is an assumption. You can either lift it or you can't. What you should or should not be able to do is irrelevant.

[Winter_Storm_Guy]

You know if your physically strong, when your lose Family
members not far part from each other. Aug 25, 1996 my
Maternal Grandfather, Aug 9, 1998 my Maternal Grandma
Nov 10, 2003 my Mother. Dec 4 , 2004 my Paternal Grandma
So yes this is living proof i am strong , deaths are hard to
handle and each one of their deaths a part of me has died too.

[posted]

That would be mentally.

[posted]

Or emotionally

[Winter_Storm_Guy]

@posted Yes it would be mentally but the stress is what breaks ones physical part of their body down, i believe i can pine over their death and drop dead of heart attack all cause of
their death , stress caused my next neighbor to drop dead from massive heart attack from
her niece having a boy steal money for her. Anythings possible dude.

Yeah but thats still not physical strength, both can wreak havoc on the other, but in terms of physical strength it's what you can physically. Generally in terms of what weight you can move where.

[Mydnite]

when you defeat your male partner in a wrestling match 😍

[super_k_c]

I think if you're able to do a little more reps or add on more weight than you normally do if your weight training, you're getting stronger by challenging yourself. MU2

[Saoirse_Nua]

You can usually tell from day to day activity - How you cope when you need physical power

[posted]

Well the most accurate way would be what amount of weight you can life/move compared to everyone else.
Aka HOW MUCH CAN YOU LIFT, BRO?

[rjroy3]

Are we talking about world standards or just a strong person in general?

[nala_rawr]

Strong in general:)

[rjroy3]

If you can do 10 full dips and 10 full pullups you're strong

[sexyalphamale]

For a guy, I've read if you can bench press 1.5 times your weight, that's a good measure.

[Fightingspirit]

You are in control of lifting your own body weight or more in different positions. Talk to gymnasts.

[Eridan]

How many pull-ups can you do in one go?
20+: you're very strong
10 - 19: you're quite fit
1 - 9: you're weak
not even 1: do you even lift, bro?

[Anpu23]

can you bench your own weight? That's a good touch stone.

[Tarvold]

For me, the benchmark is 10 pull ups in a row, dead hang, no kip, slow up/slow down.

[Redstang88]

If you can pick up heavy things, you're probably strong

[ThatBritishLad]

Punch a person. If they don't get up, you're strong.

[Jan1ssary_]

Try to do wrestling with someone, if you win then u are strong, lol.

[Underheel]

Multiple girls trample me strong enough to handle their weight

[dsrice]

I know I am not physically strong, always lose at arm wrestling and smaller muscular wise.

[moegh21]

milf : she's the woman who has big boobs and big butt at the same time she is between 31 and 45 😂😂

[Tom2221]

If you were having more than 3 positions during sex each time then u r physically strong

[deusexmachinaa]

Hit a guy, if he gets hurt, you're good.
