Dont compare yourself to others fren. Only compete with yourself. Im currently deadlifting 75kg only and im a man. But 1,5 months ago i deadlifted only 20kg.
Patience

Personal advice to you, only do machines, as in the lever machines, I hernia my back because of squatting and deadlifting, now I regret making fun of people online who only use machines, Machine users never experience spinal hernias.

Burst a disc 5 years ago. Still hitting new numbers and maintaining competence in 2 combat sports.
You just progressively overloaded too eagerly because Rippetoe tried to convince everyone they could recover from the same load that 15 year old footballers could.

that would be me. giga manlet status who lifts more than most of the 6' guys at my gym. sometimes i see them squatting and struggling with 2pl8, so i load up 2.5pl8 beltless and squat it for reps while weighing 60+ lbs less than they do. your thread makes me happy to see that i get to them.

Ngmi. I've torn my bicep, quad, slipped a disc, pinched a nerve in my neck, partially crushed trachea --> literally the strongest I've ever been. 0 injuries right now. As soon as you say "I've got a bad X" you've given up on yourself

It's cute seeing tiny people lift big weights. They think moving a weight 3 inches instead of 3 feet makes them as strong as a big individual. It's laughable. There's a reason there are no baby-men in strongman, keep to your artificial power lifting numbers little guy

2.5 plate squat is still baby weight though… you’re over here victory lapping over a squat that can be achieved in a few months. The gym is not a competition unless you’re painfully insecure

This is often me. I'm not small (5'11 180lbs), but I often lift more than dudes who look absolutely jacked. I get some sense of satisfaction from it but don't know if I wouldn't trade for it.
I do like outlifting chubby powershitter lookings guys though.

kek there's this old turkish guy at my gym, he's legit like 5 ft tall flat. He has an absolute monster hog, but I'm not sure if it just looks massive cause the rest of him is so small
