Are the “strength standards” charts bullshit?
I’ve been training for 4 months now
>130lbs
>5’11
>never calculated my max deadlift but I lift between 65-75lbs for 8 reps in one set, with 75lbs being my end weight for 3 sets
>following http://newbie-fitness.blogspot.com/2007/01/stripped-5x5.html?m=1 but instead of 5x5 I do 3x8 for each exercise (16 if the weight is too low in one set)
This chart
>https://exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/DeadliftStandards
says that a sedentary (untrained adult) can lift 115 pounds in a deadlift at my weight class.
I’m confused as fuck, what am I doing wrong? Apparently “novice” means training for 3-9 months, so how the fuck am I unable to lift 115 pounds while someone in my same weight class who doesn’t train can lift the same amount? Is it one rep maximum?
Seriously I’m just lost, what am I doing wrong?
If need be I’ll go post my body for you to see my muscles
>eyecatching webm unrelated, chart says that a fatass like him should be able to lift almost 200lbs untrained
