I'd agree with you here. This argument isn't about which guy is stronger. Whichever one lifts more is stronger. Which is more impressive though? I'd say that's case by case.
This often degrades into ridiculous examples with enormous gaps in bodyweight and weight lifted.
Rather then a 115lb guy bench 10 times his bodyweight vs a 400 pound guy benching 1.5 times has bodyweight, real examples would be better
For example, my workout partner is 155 and can bench 305. I'm about 205 right now and can bench 315. His bench is easily a bigger feat of strength in my opinion.
Whether you’re 205 or 155, the best benchmark to see where you stack up is to compare to other people similar to you.
Funny how common sense it seems but bias clouds judgment
