i am shocked that a bunch of dorks with something to prove have used this post as an opportunity to start droning on about strength training, intervals. it's almost like correlation/causation or dunning kruger

p.s the average man in a gym can't bench 100kg. maybe a rep or two with some generous spotting

nothing to prove. I've totalled 1680 raw.
That is quite an accomplishment, considering that the world record is currently only 1102 pounds, set late last year.

You clearly must be using a much smaller unit of measure, perhaps grams (1.6 kg, or roughly 3 pounds) or ounces (105 pounds). Either way, that amount of weight is considered below average for a male of average height who has been weight training for more than a few months.

A total is the sum of squat, bench press, and deadlift.

That 1102 bench is with a multiply bench shirt.
