Why hasn’t Strength Inflation hit Pakistan?
i haven’t seen a lot of people strength training whenever i’m back in pakistan. No one really goes heavy, yk. Seeing a two plate bench (100kgs) is rare, altho you’d expect that to be an average working set weight for casual gym bros, i haven’t, to my knowledge, seen a 3 plate bench (140kgs) in a pakistani gym, but at my usual gym, you’ll see atleast 4-5 people put up those numbers each session. The ratio seems kinda wild is all.
EDIT: overall pessimism is the reason we aren’t as ahead as other countries, as per majority of the comments.
all of yall need to understand why i am saying shit like this, instead of downvoting errything.
i think all of us have the ability to get strong, surpass our own goals and perceptions. like that old proverb, reach for moon, end up in the stars.
do you guys honestly think you’ll ever hit your goals if you perceive them as rare and not possible? Are all pakis just pessimistic now? like do yall deadass think you’re incapable of setting goals? 140 is a number, 100 is a number, time passes, those who try get closer than those who don’t. If you honestly think roids and sups are the only reason people hit their goals then newsflash you’re coping. all the best bodybuilders, powerlifters preached this mentality, if you don’t agree with that, idk bro, do you really lift bro?
when i say cope, it’s that we make excuses to let things digest easier, teekay lagaye hongai, Peptides use kerta hai, how about put in an effort?
p.s Mirin, WE are all gonna make it
