Training to be in the strongest 5% of the population

In this episode I find out how long it will take me to bench press my own bodyweight, pullup 1.5 x my bodyweight and deadlift twice my bodyweight. At the time of filming I weighed 70 kg (154 lbs). Apparently this puts you in the top 5% of the population in terms of strength. I'm not sure about that, but deadlifts sure are hard!
Filmed at Block10 in Dundee.

    It WOULD have been interesting to see a few moves in real-time to see how long it takes to receive an instruction, see Mike react, and try to "listen" to the instruction and play it. Would it be easy to miss an instruction? @Mike do you still have any real time footage of some of your plays?

    I opened this video having never seen this channel before I have no idea how 60 can fly so easy and yet 65 won't By the time I saw bench and weighted pull up I knew 2x bodyweight on deadlifts would not happen in the first test Squat is a lot technically easier than deadlift, so using it as a test of strength for people who do not focus on technique can be more logical Low bar squat is a bit closer to deadlift in terms of lower back involvement than a high bar squat, so in terms of being more similar on muscle activation maybe its preferable

    Majority of people do not lift weights so I can understand that those figures would be classed as 5%, but they're very easy to achieve (within a few months of solid weightlifting) so if everyone started lifting, it would probably turn into 90%.

And i do that at 100kg Bodyweight if you are a 70-80kg healthy Man and 20-40 Yrs old those Numbers can be achieved in a few Months if you are motivated

    Next time you should try to do it the proper way. Squat 1,5x your weight and pull-ups with chin-up the bar. And don't use a belt for deadlift.

  • @IamTx216
    @IamTx216 Před 21 hodinou

    Like you said, its a load of shit. Before I even started training I could bench and squat my own bodyweight (I was only 51kg / 112lbs) and i could deadlift 80kg / 176lbs. Bench was 65kg and squat 60kg at that time. Also your deadlift form was actually really good. For bench press: arch your back a little and restract your shoulder blades (tuck them in)
