Actual strength for those of you who dont know To all the "strong fat" lurkers for that matter anyone who wants to be a disciple of brodin. The only number that matters on lifts is power ratio. My rep ratio is around 92 percent which is decent. If you cannot rep in the 90s on every lift you are not strong. So if you divide your body weight by your lifting weight and it doesnt come out to .9 or higher and you have a BMI over 23 you are not strong. Hell you likely cant even spot my wife.
