Do women lie about their MASSIVE strenght on here or am I super weak?

[Anonymous]

I dont gym anymore but when I did. I lift way less than must women on here. I see they say they squat 300 pounds... I do less than 1/3rd of that.. actually less than 1/4th of that.. and dont get me started on bicep..

Am I weirdly weak or these women lying lol?

Most of them are telling the truth

Nah you just weak

They can exaggerate of course, but it all depends how and for what you train. If you train specifically for power lifting, after a time you will be able to squat heavy weights because you focus on that. So, I don't think you are weak. You just focus on general fitness level, not anything specific.

Okay that makes sense i guess

[Asker]

Thankyou

To be fair, I've seen vids of women squatting 200lbs and deadlifting 300. It made me feel weak as i had a pr of 165 on squat.

[Asker]

Well 165 is insane by itself!

Are you natrual?

[Boomchakalaca]

Aw thanks just slowly adding 5-10 pounds of weights each time is how u progress. I am natural.

[Asker]

okay, how long have you been working out?

[Boomchakalaca]

4 years. On and off. I take breaks for a few months. Then get back into it when motivated. I could probably squat just 135 as of right now.

[Asker]

Alright I see. That is a long process! Am glad you are so strong. Thats Great!

It would be nice if people told the truth I know I do

[Asker]

Yup!

My sister squats 150kg but her form of horrendous, it's a one rep max and she's injuring herself each time she does it.

I mean, true strength lies in humbling yourself and working on the basics and low weights until you have mastered that with a full range of motion.

Do an exercise properly, and somehow the weight drops in half and so do the reps by a third.

People let their ego get in the way cause they 'shouldn't' be lifting anything less than 100 kg.

[Levin]

by the way, specificity is really important in strength training. Women are almost as strong as men when it comes to lower body and can actually squat almost as high numbers as men.

It's in the upper body they are much weaker.

So people tend to focus on their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. If you just focus on squats of course you become dead strong in them. But most women can't even do a pullup, and many can't even do a pressup which is just pathetic.

Yes that is a lie, or it’s men hiding behind women accounts and even then , they are most likely lying about what they are squatting. People that can squat 300 lbs are gymrat men that live their lives there or steroided out men

[Asker]

That makes a lot more sense😆

Thank you for clearifying that! Cause I was started to think I had some desease or some shit being this weak👀😅

[kylee2437]

@asker yeah no lol I didn’t really understand the realism of weight lifting and how hard it actually is until I started lifting myself

[Asker]

yeah its much harder than it looks like online

Squatting 300 pounds for a woman is totally possible, even if she is a natural bodybuilder. If she has a strong back and meat on her legs, its totally possible. But in this case she must be an experienced bodybuilder and not small.

they're lying

[Asker]

Makes sense👍🏻
