1. People know how to program better for strength. 2. More people are lifting. So you’re gonna run into someone at the gym who can do a lot because more people are in the gym. And even just with women lifters. I’d imagine the population of women into heavy lifting is day and night compared to 10 years ago. 3. With social media, even if your gym doesn’t have those type of lifters, it’s a lot easier to know what’s going on in other gyms. 4. More people (not all, not most) are on PEDs. So while the raw number of people who can do X is probably significantly higher, i think the PERCENTAGE of lifters who can do X has only raised a little bit.

Back in the 80s when I was in HS if you benched the stack on the nautilus machine you were the man. Now kids are benching 405 like it’s nothing. Amazing

[@allen-lifts]

well peds are easy as shit to get with the internet now.

[@isaacaymerich4279]

Y’all should do this more official /often and talk about every trainer every trainee rising up and completion happening because this is what’s going to bring powerlifting to the top , especially since you guys are a good example of great reference of powerlifting in KZbin and in general

[@TypoRyno]

I didn't realize it till you talked about training as a group, but that is exactly what I feel like I'm missing now getting back into lifting at 30 years old vs when I trained with my powerlifting team in high school

[@millardfilmore1403]

Bro thinks Jamal is everyone 💀

[@kel2808]

Just hit 315 bench for single rep PR. I think it’s from all the guidance from KZbinrs. Looking at their form to perfect my own. I workout at a 24hour fitness and I don’t see anyone lift these weights except on KZbin or Instagram. People stare and in my mind I should be benching 400lbs and 315 single rep isn’t enough but ig to average gym goer it’s a lot or ridiculous.

[@atp_powerlifting560]

We did research for powerlifting and strongman, pulling sumo, straps really any variables and it's a total of under 30 people that have ever pulled 1000lb. That's still a really small list 🤷

[@Silenced_by_nazi_youtube]

I started training in 2007 when I was 21. I do notice that 20yo’s are stronger now then when I was their age however I don’t think it’s really due to genetic enhances, increased PED, or anything like that. I just think it’s the overly hyped gym culture nowadays. Everyone wants to show off so squatting/deadlifting/hip thrusting/benching hundreds of lbs is an achievement that they can show off on tik tok or IG…but in order to do that they do need to push themselves past their limit all the time, which in my commercial gym I see a bunch of these kids do, and they’re usually in groups, and atleast one of them is wearing crocs. Back when I first started, there really wasn’t much of that going on, we didn’t post videos of ourselves on FB or MySpace, our phones couldn’t even take good videos, our sole purpose of getting buffer/stronger/leaner was for ourselves and not to just post on TikTok.

[@rogey6669]

It’s the exact same situation as the first ever sub 4min mile. One guy did it then the next year a bunch of people did it. When usain bolt ran under 9.7 no one else had done it. Soon after 2 more guys run sub 9.7, along with the most amount of people ever to run sub 9.8 (which was a major milestone first achieved legally in 1999) When we see something isn’t impossible we all have that little bit more belief in ourselves that we too can achieve said milestone.

[@asadhassan509]

I agree with everything they said in this video, but I really wanna also feel like this sport is an individual sport, so unless it’s a entire team like team nori or team flex or fueled like there’s a certain level of connection between teams that matters more so this aspect they’re talking about still exists heavily. Also there’s just certain days where you wanna train alone and be more technical and methodical but that hype aspect does very much so exist in our gyms

[@Molonlabee_]

If powerlifting and/or Olympic lifting was done like a CrossFit box (class walkthrough from warm-up to workout, accessories and stretching) I would be addicted to that gym

[@BlackPhillip666]

I double-dog-dare you to start the gym of your dreams. Infect your target market with the same desire, and display your results. *Nike Swoosh* "Just do it."

[@MrSham3less]

@@BlackPhillip666 I'll do it next week

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

You don’t need that to be addicted to the gym

[@Molonlabee_]

@@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw you talking for yourself or me? And I didn't say I need, I just said that structure WOULD BE addicting.

[@aidansjourney]

In the future 1500 pulls will be normal, strength standers keep going up

[@LiftHeavy1]

Sarms!!!

[@GYMJAX]

“Everyone”

[@UnhumanNewman]

A small handful of people in an already niche sport is “everyone” lol

[@patrickcarino989]

Also the juice lol!!

[@timk8258]

It’s the Kabuki deadlift bar. Not hard to figure out.

[@ConcenTREted_Strength]

With the types of gyms that y’all have and the culture already there, I think y’all could easily create that type of community. Slap some TVs on the wall, put up a program, day to day or weekly. Free program that’s just up there for people to do. People will slowly start to hop on and community will start to build around it. From guys walking in and talking about how yesterday’s session blew them up, to everyone hitting training cycles and PRs together. Also could be a gateway into paid individual programming through the gym. Since y’all are crazy busy, you could even have someone younger, looking to get their foot in the door for coaching, to start writing the daily/weekly program. Knocking out a few birds with one stone.

[@anathemafilms]

that would be dope except for the fact that if its bench day on that program you gonna be waiting AGES for a rack lol

[@mouahmong]

The list of people who have been recorded to pull 1000lbs is pretty small. I think influencers using fake weights make it seem normal.

[@riccervant]

Jucy juice? 🤣😂

[@mikescheme]

Sooo....how often should I be squatting?

[@connorbrady5689]

Twice a day every day and three times on Sunday

[@harleyzeth]

I think the facts that men in general are more obese than ever with lower test and higher test than ever- seems like a shock to the lifting population. I think ease of access to PEDs and knowledge on how to use them has GREATLY widened the gap between lifters and non-lifters than ever before. Especially in the 16-25 age group. Young lifters now have an insane pool of knowledge at their fingertips and don't really have the same social stigma in regards to PEDs.

[@Caesar__99]

I miss the community big time.

[@drakolifts]

That’s 1% of my strength

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

Only 2 people pulled 1k since Benni

Going 9 for 9 just meant you didn’t try hard enough 😂

I am strong af

[@ClockCutter]

315 is the new 225? Just about everone benching seriously decades ago was hitting 315. Must be this generation's Low T. And y'all forgot to add one of the more obvious factors to the appearance of bigger numbers. The greater availability of steroids and the far greater knowledge about using them.

[@ninaboy5933]

Bros can't even lift 1k combined
