Is 1/2/3/4 really that easy to hit in just a matter of months? Or are most people just baiting?

baiting obviously.
it is doable, but will not be easy. (natyy wise)
I’ve hit 1 and 2 in 7 months, despite having a shit self made program for the first 4. I’ll hit 3 and 4 in the next 2 probably
Entirely genetics
I hit my genetic limit at 0.5/1.5/1.5/2
I'm 160cm 55kg Xhosa (black dude)
Been lifting and playing rugby since age 12, had a strength coach for years, ate 4000cal or 1 year straight bulking and put on 1kg muscle and then lost it when I started eating normally and dropped the weight. There's literally nothing I can do short of steroids to build muscle.
Some of us were never meant to make it.
cope
Easy peasy baby
It depends on what you start with. No way that a skinny guy who has never worked out before all of the sudden does this gym thing perfectly with a routine, food and sleep and hits 1234 in a few months. Not happening. On the other hand some fat fucks are really strong but then they are just that, fat, so who cares.
Cope
Extremely fat fucks might go from untrained to 1/2/3/4 in a couple of months, but it's almost impossible for an average sized person to go from untrained to that without being on gear in the same time span. I think the shortest I've heard for a natty was 7 months, and that was some kid who was had been active his entire life in other sports
what's 1/2/3/4?
I hit 1pl8 OHP in a matter of a few months. I don't bench at all but i can do 80kg for 10 reps without even benching at all.
It took me more than a year to 3pl8 squat, like a year and a half.
And I don't deadlift.
It's just genetics and proportions. I don't seriously train ohp and the other month i did 70kg 4 sets of 4. Like it was nothing. For me, ohp is just easy. A year ago I got the hang of the squat and started to actually do good in it and I'm progressing fine. But damn getting there was tough for me.
So it just depends on the person. Doesn't matter what others do, you keep going!
Thanks for subscribing to my blog!
How many reps is 1/2/3/4 for? Or is it 1RM?
depends on who you ask.
Some say 1RM
other says 5
it's easy if you did sports or are fat
it's hard if you're skinny/skinnyfat and untrained
1 rep to achieve it, 5 for gold standard, 5x5 (except DL) for entering official strong boi territory.
This pretty much.
100% baiting, It's almost impossible even in 2 years.
1 plate OHP
2 plate bench press
3 plate squat
4 plate deadlift
1 plate is 20 kg so 20 kg OHP / 40 kg bench / 60 kg squat / 80 kg deadlift
>I'm 160cm
Look, I'm 1,68m and let me tell you can achieve more than you mentioned. What the fuck is this coping?
Wanna be strong and don't care about aesthetics? Take a look at Nippard. The guy is solid and strong. He's short but doesn't give a shit about that.
Man the fuck up.
Post form
Ohp form? I dont have any footage, but i do lean back a bit but then get straight again after the bar passes my chin. I don't incline standing bench press à la Ripp de la Toe would have us do
I started lifting late January and I'm at 52,5kg 3x5/80kg 3x5/100kg 3x5/120kg 1x5. Only physical background I have is normie-tier calisthenics (push-ups and chin-ups) and 1 year conscription in the army last year(Finnish army so it's a joke). 71kg bw @ 171cm. I think it is very doable in 3-6 months if you have background in sports.
cheers
I thought the plates were 20kg each + 20 for the bar, so it should be 60kg OHP, 100kg bench, 140 Squat and a 180 kg deadlift.
Are you kidding me? That would be insanely easy. It's 1 plate EACH SIDE, plus the 20kg standard bar, so, 60kg OHP / 100kg Bench / 140kg Squat / 180kg deadlift
user he's baiting you. It's a plate on each side of the bar + the bar.
So 1pl8 ohp is 60kg
And so on. You do the math
Now I see why so many think they can do 1/2/3/4, when they think this is the correct way to measure
>hit 80kg for reps in 3 months
>feel as if I could hit 2pl8 for at least 1 soon
>gyms close
they don't think it be like it do but it does
>20kg standard bar
dude do you know how heavy that is?
the bar weighs at max 10kg or doing anything would be impossible
what is 1/2/3/4?
I think its skewed.
1 plate OHP doable in ~6 months
2 plate bench is more like 1 year+
3 plate squat is again 1 year+
4 plate deadlift is doable in like 6 months too
5 to achieve it
You don’t go to the gym, do you?
Bullshit, only impossible if you've never entered a gym or done any kind of sport before you set this goal for yourself
that's literally impossible if you're natty
