What three lift total is the bar for being considered respectable?

Memes aside I feel its 500 pounds for bench, squat and deadlift

I know everybody on misc claims a 2000+ pound total but in real life 500 pounds is probably where somebody is stronger than the non-lifters

My one rep maxes:

135lb bench
185lb squat
185lb deadlift
505lb total

Keep in mind my weight is between 139lb dieting and 155lb bulkmode so my three lift total is over 3x my bodyweight

Your 3 lifts total should be based on squat, bench, and power clean, in my opinion.

Nobody irl cares how much you lift. Srs. Not saying you shouldnt care, as you can use it as a measurement of progress. Just something to remember after the second or third time you get a lifting injury.

Lol typical internet response itt people claiming nfl level lifts as minimum to be considered respectable

Lifting on misc is like manlet meme on misc, in reality the true cutoff is 5’7” or under but miscers claim 6’3”+ as cutoff, I’m 5’6” so yes I’m probably a manlet but barely irl

If you're natty you have to get stronger to make progress, that how you know your making gains. The mind muscle connection, fst 7 bull**** are for the mutated cows.

trolling aside, that's about average for a nonlifter I suspect.

Also helps when miscers back up their numbers

I'd say my theoretical max total in my prime was like 1,420 at 185 lb. I consider north of 1,000 lb. to be respectable at my size.

I always find it to be ridiculous when twinks (so obviously natural) do slow motion eccentrics with bish weight. It's almost like they don't realise that you need to get stronger at the compound movements to put on size if you're natural. Another mistake is just poor exercise selection/ordering. When you're natural you have a limited work capacity. Starting back day with deadlifts makes no sense as you fatigue yourself before you even get to the exercises that actually work your back.

I really don't think your avg non-lifters can bench 135 lb and squat 185 lb.

225 bench, 315 squat, 405 deadlift. All of those should be achievable within 12 months of starting lifting.
