🎙️ This week, we’re breaking down one of the most common gym questions: How strong should you actually be? From squat to bench to deadlift, we unpack real strength standards, bodyweight ratios, and what those numbers actually mean for you. 💪

Whether you’re new to lifting or chasing advanced numbers, we talk one-rep max myths, age differences, programming smarter, and why these benchmarks are a tool, not a judgement.
