To clarify, if you can bench your bodyweight, squat 1.5x your bodyweight, and 2x your deadlift, you are in the top 5% of strongest humans.

    There was a point where I could do all of these but I seriously injured my lower back while doing leg press this one time. Now I’m a bit more careful while doing squats and deadlifts.

    What surprises me is benching your bodyweight. That should be doable for most people with some training, right?

      Absolutely, that one sounds easiest to me, assuming 135 isn’t too tough for most people that regularly exercise, all you need to do is add a few pounds. I’m about 150-160 lbs so I can probably do that one, definitely can’t do the rest yet, coming a bit closer to the Deadlift one tho. Also that really sucks what happened to your back, was it recent?
