What do you all consider a strong squat and bench press?

[cyndaquil]

For me 315 bench and 405 squat

 

[definition]

I guess it depends on the weight of the lifter ... But, in general, I agree with those numbers. Not absurd numbers, but enough that not everyone in the gym is getting them (my self included).

I'm closer to 2 plates bench, 3 plates squat (each for sets of 3-4. Don't know my max).

I'd say 225 bench & 315 squat for reps.

I'm guessing those numbers in the OP is for 1RM

225 for both,gotta remember you put all the men in the world under both those weights alot of em not doing it,so that's good weight.

Now if you talking about average gym goers then thats a different story

For reps?

For reps?

No, a 1 rep 225 bench and a 1 rep 225 squat is better than 90% of what most men in the world can do.

Of course cats who are gym rats would laugh at those 1 rep max numbers by in actuality it's not weak

Also 225 front squats for reps. I did that before my break with a spot and man every rep after the first was a struggle. I say I did 4 reps on that.

Yea in that context you are right. But in general we r comparing with people with a habit of lifting weights.

My bench will never catch-up with my squats

Guys what do you consider a strong deadlift for reps? 4-6 range for example.

Depends on alot of things,405 for reps is solid

But when you factor in weight and how long a guy's been lifting numbers will vary

 

[Another Man]

I bench 400, squat 700 for reps

 

[Serious]

I'll be honest and I'm usually a prick.....

225lbs for both is a good weight for reps....

Anything else is pretty much excessive and isn't really recommended long term, no matter how good your "form" or experience....

There's really no need that isn't served from 225lbs for reps....

Remember end game should be, fit and injury(chronic) free....
