A surprising number of amateur male gym-goers think they could outlift a female powerlifter.

Our host Jonathan Bennett puts that confidence to the test by inviting a group of everyday lifters to compete against Laura and Christina in the squat and deadlift under the watchful eye of referee Joohee. The men quickly discover there's a big difference between being strong in the gym and stepping onto the competition platform, where technique, discipline, and experience matter just as much as raw strength.

These aren't even "average" guys btw - these dudes work out and clearly care about being fit and strong, and the women still won.

The fact that the women were so much smaller but still playing by the 'same rules" simply beating them by total weight.... they won outright. If they adjusted by ratio the men would've lost harder.

the guy who screamed so much and said the women might be intimidated by his competitiveness was not ready when christina matched his energy haha

Premise: "Can an average man outlift a professional female athlete?"
...brings in a male bodybuilder and a professional male wrestler just so they stand a chance

ngl the episode was still fun to watch but these were absolutely above-average men strength wise 😅

"thats some decent form" pmo like he knows full well she is a professional powerlifter.

I don't understand why the weight jumps were so significant. Homegirl didn't hit 415 but she could've squatted 405 NO PROBLEM and beat them at the squats AND deadlifts.

I love how Jason thought he would scare the women with his competitiveness but in the end his competition with Christina just scared the host 😆

Not that guy watching the first girl like “that’s some decent form.” LIKE DUDE YOU LITERALLY JUST LEARNED THE FORM TODAY— FROM HER. 😂😂😂😂

I love how many people are pointing out how disgusting the men's behavior was. That sort of sexism needs to be called out. Every. Single. Time.

@blackrose7033 2 months ago

The amount of disrespect the men showed towards women from the get go was appalling.

I was disappointed that the men were not as sportsmanlike about the women’s prowess. Segio didn’t shake hands. And the men could have shaken hands at the end and congratulated the women.

@OG_reket 2 months ago

Didn't even take into account their weight classes. With that I think the women crush the men tbh

I think it's a shame. These guys aren't average dudes from the street. They are serious athletes (some of them even professional). The stuff they are doing could be very impressive but the moment they start running their mouth and being cocky, I stop seeing them as dedicated athletes and start seeing them as arrogant yappers.

I don't think he locked out that 365 deadlift. And she definitely could have tied him on squat if she went for 405.

@Itslizbennett 2 months ago

Can we also point out that the women also spotted every single lift, for both sides, before competing personally... the guys just stood back to watch and jeer.

@duchkal2 2 months ago

The women never tried to match the 400 squat. She was able to squat 395 but was jumped to 415? Why not try 405 to beat him?

@alyssagggghik 2 months ago

We’re all gonna agree that they definitely didn’t actually beat the girls on squats right

@jrworthy 2 months ago

She crushed the deadlift. Definitely did not hit her max.

@Ailieorz 2 months ago (edited)

Christina shoulda just put 405 on the squat too and watched him weep. And they didn't even adjust this for bodyweight either, just pure raw strength.
To clarify for those unfamiliar, Laura's top squat is 342lbs at 130lb bodyweight or 2.6x bodyweight. Jason would have to weigh only 155lbs to beat that ratio.
