If you set up a pull up bar in the middle of a shopping centre, I reckon 2/100 will be able to do 1 pullup and none more than 5, people already tried public bench and pushups and the results were crazy, people who go to the gym regularly are already miles head of people who don't lift at all.
Fair play on this for sure, I like Jeff Nippard's view on this too where he goes 1x Bench, 1.5x Squat & 2x Deadlift. For me just now I'm 68kg and got a 70kg Bench, 130kg at 2 reps for squat and 170kg for Deadlift.
yeah they arent even fucken close lmao, a 1.5x bodyweight squat can be hit by 90% of consistent gym goers in 1-3 years. i reckon only 10% of consistent gym goes would hit 1.5x pull up in that time
The fact that the requirements for Bench and Squat are the same makes absolutely no sense at all 🤣 Another awesome idea for a video though. Absolutely love the content, Reev. Also: Theo's such a great guest, as always. Love the guy.
You can turn the trap bar upside down and you'll get the same range of motion/starting position as a deadlift would be btw 😁 since he is using the handles and basicly start like 10cms higher. Well done doe.
The bench and squat weights being the same seems wild. I would assume any able bodied young person should be able to squat more than their bodyweight without training, whereas a bodyweight bench is pretty impressive
At my gym we have student who are new to lifting all the time, I can tell you for sure that almost all of them can't bench even close to bw to start with. I see some guys struggle with 30kg. As for squats, very few people actually squat at the gym (a large uni gym) so it is very feasible that 95% of the population can't do this either as an extremely small % of the worlds population has ever tried squatting with any sort of weight.
Just tried these and I was no where close on the pull up. The rest was okay but I also had to pull a Theo on the deadlift cause my back is messed up. Thanks for the entertaining video and great motivation
I actually think 80% of guys that go gym regularly would be able to do the bench, squat and deadlift relatively easily. The weighted pull up I’d say maybe 3% would be able to do 😂 I actually think most would struggle to do over 12 standard pull ups
It's insane to me that numbers we wouldn't even put you in the intermediate category of strength would put you in the top 5%. A double bodyweight deadlift is a nice milestone, but you'd expect most men to squat and bench their bodyweight within 3 months of joining a gym.
The pull up is so difficult compared to the rest lol. I can’t do any atm anyway due to an injury that just won’t go away : ( everything else good though
Bodyweight strength is pure copium. There's really only one relevant metric of strength and that's pure output. ''sorry i can't lift the car off you, i only have bodyweight strength''
Looks like every person has a different 5% of the population, given that they don't agree on the factor for the exercises. Seen 1,5x squat often and 2x dealift just as well, among other combinations. It's also interesting that the top 5% of the population numbers are also the same that are named by trainers to be good goals for everyone. Perhaps this implies that only 5% of the population are ok strength. Which maybe isn't a surprise, some people are strong but not accustomed to the exercises in question technically, and most people are just very untrained in strength. I recall also seeing numbers like 1,5x bench, 2x squat and 2,5x deadlift for athletes.
Bro, you gotta remember that you're only 15. For your age those are solid numbers. I struggled benching 65kg at your age and now 10 years later I can bench 140kg for reps.
@@reev Oh yeah forgot about the Simon video, would love to see a weightlifting video with you and Chip🔥 I wanna make a career in fitness so your videos are just class mate
Hey Reev , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
I wonder do you include categories such as little babies, 80 year old seniors, and women to the world population figure that you are comparing yourself to?🤔
These strength standards aren't impressive. It only proves how extremely weak the general population is. The trap bar deadlift is also a much easier lift than a normal deadlift so you should be able to to pull way more on a trap bar. So you aren't really comparing apples to oranges.
strength doesnt actually care about bodyweight, like even if you can squat 3 times your body weight, i could squat 1.5 and im stronger if its more, its also a fully just made up statistic to begin with
Those numbers you mentioned would probably apply to be in the top 5% of men who actively go to the gym. As reev stated, the majority of the population don't even go to the gym. The average man can't even bench press their own body weight.
Theo is actually much stronger than he looks
Backhanded compliment
He has a lot of excess body mass in terms of fat so that helps…
@@samstudy21 excess body fat would help with pull ups? I don’t think so mate
@@samstudy21 clown take given his best lift was pull ups
@@aaronking2129 Mass moves mass, that’s why the strongest men on earth are fat. Ask Eddie hall, brian shaw etc.
Theo pull-up is insane
7:23 As someone who competes in weighted pull ups, I was VERY impressed with how quick Theo went up 👏🏻 He should keep it up!
Dude you’re insane 💪🏻
Yooo I finally found a fellow streetlifter, do you have advice for me because I am stuck on a 42 kg weighted pull up and I’m not progressing
There's no way on earth 5% of people can do a 1.5x bodyweight pull up
Exactly probably 1 percent can maybe even less
Exactly. Also (this could be instagram ruining standards for me) I feel like more than 5% people can bench their bodyweight
5% only being able to do a regular pullup sounds more right imo
@@cola4249doubt it

is your bench a weak point for you? i can bench 85 but can only squat 105 and deadlift 160 at a similar bodyweight
@@lachlanross1his bench is weak for his bw esp considering his other lifts
I can bench 100kg, deadlift and squat 70kg. I think I’m pretty knaff 😊
@@adaml6793yeah that’s kind of mad actually because my bench is the same at 60kg BW and I’m considerably weaker than his other compound lifts
@@lachlanross1 I just don't really bench if honest, focused on squats mainly, but joys of where we are at.
Trap bar is easy for deadlift.. adding 30% more than normal
I think it’s actually 1.5x body weight for squat but 1x
Yeah thought it might be!
@@reev all still very impressive and tbf I reckon you can both do 1.5x fine 😂
Theo’s pull up’s are incredible. Can’t wait for the Hyrox video😊
A 1.5x BW pull up is infinitely more impressive than a 1.5x BW squat.

Yeah almost certain that squat requirement is false, people saying 1.5x which makes more sense
Squat should be 10 reps with body weight
Hair jump-scare, looking good reev. great video as always
Theo is strongggg!! I love your vids. Also, it was too short. I was enjoyinggg and then boom.. 8 mins over lol

You cutting atm reev you're looking shredded
Hyrox + ultra marathon training means I’m fairly lean now
Ain’t the trap bar supposed to be upside down? Removed about 40% ROM the way you did it
Theo used it correctly, that's why the handles are there.
@@eamon1648 that bar can be used for shrugs also
Shorts kings are completing this after 6 months in the gym. At least it's not all bad for you guys

Imagine a universe where Baker Boi is above the 95th percentile when it comes to the planets strongest individuals. Absolutely wild
How reev hasnt done a video about teus retiring is ridiculous to me
bring back reus to glory haha, good to see youre still doin well lad
We need to do this for a 100m, 1 mile and a 5k based on age. This one will probably be easier but it’ll be nice to see what the average time is.
The pull up is so difficult compared to the rest lol. I can’t do any atm anyway due to an injury that just won’t go away : ( everything else good though
It's only difficult because you do the other moves way more, somebody repping out muscle ups might even struggle with the bench 1x
@@Mrtampsnah the pull ups are by far the most difficult, a reasonably trained person should be able to bench their body weight.
Im pretty sure this would put you in the top 1% or 2%
great video mate

any tips to get into weight lifting?

Petition for reev to have 1 mil subs
How is your bw in squats difficult?! I'm 80kg and 15yo, I done 115kg squat 65kg bench and 135kg deadlift (ik my bench and deadlift is ass)
Yeah was questioning it too
Bro, you gotta remember that you're only 15. For your age those are solid numbers. I struggled benching 65kg at your age and now 10 years later I can bench 140kg for reps.
These ratios are ridiculous, just by going to the gym you’re in the top 5% because most people don’t do it.
This may be too 5% of gym goers
The 1.5x pull up is maybe 0.5% at best… 90% can’t do a pull up alone
Elite duo! Theo though?? 👀
did u reveal clarkeys rowing time yet ?
the comment about theo's hip flexibility ahah nice way to adress the comments
Would age not be a factor when measuring strength?
The Pullup being 1.5x bw is insane and way less than 5% can do that😂
Theo Baker, The Bone Breaker.
His own, and of others.
Do you reckon you could get Chip or Simon in a gym video Reev?
They’ve both been on the channel before!
@@reev Oh yeah forgot about the Simon video, would love to see a weightlifting video with you and Chip🔥 I wanna make a career in fitness so your videos are just class mate
The squat is meant to be 2x BW but either way, Reev and Theo are insane
4:07 was that Theo cracking?!
Squat + bodyweight =/= pull-up at 1.5 bodyweight. Not even roughly equivalent.
Hey Reev , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
It pains me you did this DBS rather than SBD but funny vid
I wonder do you include categories such as little babies, 80 year old seniors, and women to the world population figure that you are comparing yourself to?🤔

Squat should be 1.5x bodyweight.

No way is this test top 5% ,maybe top 5% of natty people who dont train 🤔edit* except for the pull up which is probably about right .
@@ibuk4309 you know what population means right?
@@reev of course ,but top 5% of population too generalized and a total ( bad ) guess by whoever came up with those numbers and tests .
Is this a wind up? To be in the 5 percent strongest in the world you need
1.5 times bench
2 times squat
2.5 times deadlift
Not even remotely true, a majority of the population are sedentary as is

People dont understand how many people 5% is. Thats 400 million people, id be surprised of that many people even go to a gym regularly.
0
I'm much stronger than you
These are not max lifts, these are above the threshold of what the test requires
