Summary

Joe pitched this one from one of his followers: You can lift anyway you want, but you can’t compare your lifts to anyone else’s if they are not to the same standard.

Can you really compare lifts across federations or different equipment standards? Are squats with wraps comparable to squats with sleeves? Are deadlift bars and stiff bars THAT different in terms of weight lifted?

Joe Stanek (@joe_gameday) sat in as guest host on this one, along with Mike, Nico (@nicoflores83kg), and Elexa (@nanoo31).

0:20.3	Yeah, so over on TikTok, one of my people asked me, or basically had this hot take, they
0:27.1	said, you can lift however way you want, but the moment you start comparing your strength
0:33.3	to somebody else, everybody needs to add here to a standard.
0:36.3	I'm in.
0:37.3	What are our thoughts on that?
0:38.9	I'm in on that.
0:39.9	So like, the argument you hear on, and I see this on TikTok all the time, it's, oh,
0:44.4	it's my personal record.
0:46.2	Yeah.
0:47.2	So I can lift to whatever standard I want.
0:50.4	And the counterargument is just like, okay, well, yeah, that's fine, but like if you're
0:54.2	going to say you're as strong as me, you, you, you at, you need to be able to lift in
0:57.2	the same way.
0:58.2	I would agree with that.
0:59.2	I think, I think you and I even had a like conversation of this off air where as long as
1:04.7	you're just not comparing and you're not claiming records, you're not claiming all this
1:08.2	stuff, because that is a sport.
1:10.1	We can't just go to the park and I go 10 for 10 for the free throw line and say I'm a better
