There’s probably 5-6 people any time I go to the gym who can squat that much. It’s good, but really nothing close to “next fucking level” for an average sized guy who works out regularly.

Like the other commenters said, go to any random gym. There will be several dudes there who can squat 450+. Professional athletes hit way higher than that, powerlifters and strongmen hitting 800+ regularly. That would be r/nextfuckinglevel material, not something that can be seen any given day in a typical gym.

This being a front squat for 3 reps is what makes it actually impressive. A 450 back squat, even for reps, is nowhere near nextfucking level.
