This sounds like something a scrawny/short little guy would say to compensate. Tell us you’re insecure without telling us you’re insecure. Your other comments are just as laughable. A teenage girl can dead 405? I bet you have a lot of friends :)
As someone who does actually understand this topic, no untrained person is going to start squatting at 145 or deadlift at 225 unless they want to injure themselves upfront. They would start both with an empty bar and move up slowly from there once they have the form perfect. Untrained people don’t lift actual weight. From there, most would move to a 75 pound squat and a 95-115 pound deadlift.
The original post was spreading a gym rat myth that pulling medium weight requires eating more. It doesn’t.
Most of us aren’t Brian Shaw. Most of us will never pick a thousand pounds off the ground. That’s okay. Be realistic with your goals and what it takes to reach them.
Most people have probably picked up more than that in their lives even if they’ve never seen a gym. Have you ever moved a heavy couch?
115lbs as a starting max for a man is a joke. You might put 95 on the bar to illustrate basic form, but you cannot deadlift 95 the same as 495. You’ll start rowing the barbell if you setup correctly on 95lbs just from leverage alone.
These aren’t uncommon numbers for someone who has never exercised before.
