How are you different from the stereotypical "average person" in your country? (lemm.ee)

Feel free to define "average" how you see fit. This isn't about debating what is average person. Comparisons to the averages in your age / friend group are fine too.

I can bench press 300+ pounds (136 kg for the exceedingly rude Europeans in the thread), which puts me in the top 1% of men strength-wise not only in my country, but worldwide.

That's 135 kg. The weights on the machines in my gym only go to 120. But I guess you just use the barbells

Only about 3% of people worldwide know what 300lbs represents, you daft cunt 😂

You're in the top 1% of 3%

Not really. It's still an amount of weight even if it's described differently.

It's not like this mf couldn't lift metric weights. Although, that would be very funny. Like kryptonite or some shit.
