Anyone who lifts knows how much it sucks to stay natty. Like for real I can bench press 100 kilos for 5 reps but it took me like 10 years of lifting weights on an off to get there. Feelsbadman when u compare urself to the tiktok sarm goblins and realize u could have a 405 bench by now if u just blasted off years ago. Oh well tho. I want to blast off so bad I just don’t have the money for it right now.
For a 100kg bench for reps it really doesn't, unless they have a chronic illness or disability the speed of progression is abnormally slow, which leads me to believe that they didn't put in enough effort or that their programming just sucked, not being able to put in a lot of time in the gym or not knowing a good lifting program is nothing to be ashamed off, but I really want to push against the "I lift 100kg and this guy that must be on steroids bench twice as much as me" idea because I've had weirdos harass me in the gym asking me about steroids or accusing me of taking test just based on the fact that I'm a lot stronger than them and this post comes across in that same vein.
