    Lol I don’t think you can compare a local powerlifting comp with the Olympics. For reference, the current record for the women’s 49kg weight class clean and jerk is 117kg. The average American man is ~90kg, which would put them in the 87kg+ weight class, where the womens record for the snatch is 140kg. I think you’d be hard pressed to find an average Joe who could snatch his bodyweight, let alone ~1.5x .

      I’m not. I’m comparing local power lifting to the average man. We’re strictly talking about non-olympians.

        I’d lean toward two people being featured. An average Joe male and a decathlete female or some such. There are some events that even an average man would crush

        This is what I was talking about?
