Thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With us men, there seems to be some sort of male hierarchy based on physical strength. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For example at the gym, the question is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you deadlift over 4 plates? Can you squat over 3 plates? Can you bench over 2 plates?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This seems to be the very basic bar in terms of strength. Either you are above it, or under it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are over it, you become part of this elite club. If you cannot, you are just another ‘rando’ (random) individual who is just sort of a hobbyist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
