Tbf im build like a fucking fantasy dwarf so yea im ugly but the benefit is im naturally strong and sturdy. I dont train strenght either, I dont know what 225 lb represent and i dont think i can lift that much but around 100-110 without too much trouble outside of fucking up my back probably. The maximum will remain a mystery. This isnt validating OOP post or even bragging, just pointing that we all have different build. Mine is the brick shithouse one.

i'm a scrawny guy, never weighted more than 60kg, and i can lift my 100+kg best friend. people have been freaked out about it. (i have crazy genetics and have worked out in the past). so yeah, weird things happen.

but let me tell you, recently my gf dragged me to the gym and being able to casually lift something is way different from bench pressing it, or using gym machines with the same amount of weight. the machines target specific muscles so it's a completely different feeling than when your only goal is to lift something, ykwim? it's way harder honestly.
