How strong were you when you started lifting?

I remember I first learning to deadlift and pulled 365 the first day I done deadlifts at a 165 deadlift.
Anyone else more genetically prone to perform better on certain lifts than others?

Idk. To this day I put up sad numbers on all lifts, but I’ve always felt like I was naturally strong for my size. When it comes to real work many times I can lift, pull or move things that others can’t, even though they may put up better weight room numbers. I’ve always been a hell of a furniture mover too. Carrying awkward stuff in stupid positions twisting and dodging shite.

I was in 7th grade when we were tested.
Benched 145lbs
Squatted 250lbs
Don't think we deadlifted until 9th grade and I did 350 or something and a couple weeks later did 405lbs.
I was made to squat. Nothing improves faster than my squat. I was at a Max of 365 last September and hadn't squatted in 2 years and now I am about 540.

I hate you. I took a year of weight lifting PE in high school, and I didn’t take squats seriously. I’d like to go back and punch 17 year old me in the gut. I struggle to find proper form squatting.

It's those cues man. Gotta get them. When I get home I'll post them up.
Low bar
1 start lower and work up to spot on back
2 wrap bar around back and move elbows forward
3 quarter squat and squeeze butt to lift weight like you mean it.
4 3 steps max
5 squeeze butt and belly brace
6 hips and knees at same time
7 track knees with feet

When I was fat, my first real workout with weights was Men's Health Home Grown Muscle, and I did squats with 40lb DBs at home.
I was sore for days.
Crazy to think how far I've come, I was 215 at 5'7 back then. Now 160 with all lifts comfortably high 300's at 36.

Coming out of high school and playing football my numbers were as follows: bench 205, squat 265, deads 280ish. Over the years I continued to workout and my strength has gone up. I have not maxed out in quite a while, but my bench is now 325, squat 460 and deads at 505. I have taken weightlifting more seriously over the last couple of years, and I have taken my diet more seriously within the last few months. But generics are not on my side. I had to bust arse for everything I’ve accomplished in the weight room.
My goal now is to continue gaining strength and shed some fat. I’m not looking to be a bodybuilder. I just want to look like how I feel.
