id have to disagree with the bench thing. i guess its weak in comparison to your back squat, but not weak by normal standards. most good olympic lifters i kno can bench 315.
When somebody asks you a question to which you don’t know the answer, you shrug your shoulder violently and get up on your toes doing a full extension.
Oh and the classic, bloody shins if you set up wrong and almost take off your kneecaps.
…you are capable of instantly dividing or multiplying any weight by 2.2.

even conservative english in UK started to use kilograms in gyms (not pounds)!
Well, some are to thick so they stil count a number of plates on the bar

That is if you still train benchpress but i’ve trained with o-lifters that can c&j 140kg+ @ 62kg @ 17 years old and couldn’t benchpress more than 50kg for 2-3 reps…
Everything being relative, it shows your level of technique compared to heavier competitors who uses more brute strenght than pure technique.
whenever you need to pick something up, you drop down into a perfect atg squat and grab it as you ride the bounce up, and then realize you’re in a supermarket and quickly look around to see if anyone noticed.
on the way back to the car, you hook grip your grocery bags
you can spend 45 minutes lifting, yet have a total time under tension of less than 90 seconds.
