I'm also going to swag a guess and say ol' Gaston has never worked a labor job, judging by the 1/4 curl farmer carry, but hey, that's how all the kids carry a folding table before they are verbally humiliated.


EDIT:  JFC, that deadlift was so fucking bad I had to come back and check twice.  And that was with trap bar, my god man, there should be a disclaimer or at least a parental advisory.

You're delusional if you think the average 18 year old can meet those standards. Much less perform at the level that dude did in the video. The average male cannot bench-press 135lbs or even do a single pull-up. You'd need to be well trained to bench-press your body weight for just 1 rep. Much less 10 or 20. And well trained to do 10-20 pull-ups.  

The guy in that video grew up training in his dads home gym. Regardless of his technique on specific lifts. He's stronger and more athletic then 95% of males in America.  He doesn't have world class strength or athleticism. But he's well rounded in all regards.

I think dudes that are into fitness/gym forget how weak and nonathletic the average person really is.
