Are zoomers getting stronger

I see someone benching more than 2-3 plates with ease every time I’m at the gym

They juicing or what?

What kind of gym do you go to? Most of the zoomers I see at the gym struggle to bench 1 plate for a few reps. Really young guys benching a lot of weight is mostly a social media thing, and most of them cheat using cheater wraps (aka elbow wraps) and lift their ass way off the bench. In well over a decade of lifting, I've only seen one really strong teenager in person (dude was benching close to 4 plates). It's really not that common.

Yeah minimum of one third of the guys at any given gym are on the juice. Many you wouldn't suspect.

That's pretty sad given performance levels at an average commercial gym.

all zoomers deadlift 9 plates in my gym

Benching 2 plates is enough to suspect bicycle use? Srs, vry srs.

I go to a regular commercial gym. People regularly have one rep max more than 315 lbs while not even looking like they lift or are big

Every time I’m near the bench’s it seems like there’s always at least one zoomer lifting more than 300+ lbs
Seems like there’s way more dudes doing it now

it's the dyel guys who are strong that throw me off
I regularly see people who don’t look big doing sets of like 275-315

That's pretty crazy for a 3 plate bench to be common at a regular commercial gym. Pre-covid there were quite a few powerlifter types at my gym, and even back then I only know of 2 people that benched 3 plates for reps. One was a teenager that benched close to 4 plates and another was some roidcel.

While muscle size is an important factor in benching strength, there are other drivers of benching strength that can't be seen such as neural drive. Some people's technique is very dialled in and they can make very efficient use of the muscle they do have.

When someone can bench 3 plates for reps there's usually some kind of visual indicator even if they're not that big overall. They probably have wide shoulders and disproportionately well developed pecs. Or they're a fat ass.

id rather perv on young girls that question young boy’s bodies

where is the line ?

Gyms that I went to, most zoomers were on high doses of estrogen.

None of them lift.

Might be certain areas, but not mine.

What about the heights of these Zoomers? I go to the mall and these broccoli heads are all like 6-1, 6-2+. I think it's all the hormones in the chicken???

Social media is full of fake weights too

It's true we get a lot of zoomers at work and there's like 5 of them I can think of just now and they're all over 6ft more like 6'2ish
