Your Standard Beats Their Standard
Is 225 lbs the standard on bench?
Nah. It’s a popular number people use to measure you… but it’s not your standard.
Here’s the truth for teen athletes and 25–40+ lifters: a “standard” without context is meaningless. Different bodyweights, different training ages, different sports, different injuries, different schedules.
Comparing yourself to strangers is how you turn training into a confidence rollercoaster.
A real standard is simple:
Reps you can do with clean form
A plan you can repeat every week
Progress you can track (more reps, more control, more strength over time)
Because applause is nice… but it fades fast. You’ve got to be your own biggest cheerleader. If you showed up, trained with intent, and got 1% better, that counts.
