I thought that was your body weight and I was like WTF?

This is really cool.
Im really surprised your bench was better than your squat for a bit.
How much do you weight?
Also, do you consider yourself to have long arms or a shorter torso?
People with longer arms are typically really good at deadlift due to leverage. So maybe you have normal sized arms (good for bench) with a shorter torso compared to legs?

bro is mad strong but preferring chest over legs really is a common gymbro stereotype huh?

I like the extra metric of sum of lifts, cool way to set extra goals. Like others, I briefly thought this was the weight of a single exercise. Congrats OP! You’re a beast

Plot holes here. You’re telling me you benched 2 plates the first day you touched a barbell? Are you coming back from a layoff after previously being quite strong?

Amazing how consistent it is across fitness journeys that there is rapid improvement and a plateau. 50% improvement in weeks and then the next 50% takes 7 months.
I’m on a similar path with running and weight loss.
Congrats on the progress!

this is so extremely different than my body type – it is fun to see.
i havent been to the gym for a very long time, but i remember my squats being ~375-400 (max, 325 for reps), and my bench being ~100 for reps (never did max).
i weight trained as a water polo goalie, so i was all legs, hahahahah. (i am also a super tiny dude :p)

You can squat more than that
