Something I always have to keep in mind is that I'm 5' 6'', ~150lbs.

I'll watch some videos on Youtube and see guys doing 200 pound OHP for reps. But most of those dudes are 6+ feet tall and 220+ pounds. Everyone's always talking raw numbers and not strength to weight.

This one guy did something like a 220 lb OHP and mentioned that he's recovering from injuries and that's not yet a body weight rep. Granted, this motherfucker is built like a house and 100% objectively stronger than me by any measure. But it puts things in perspective. There is literally no way on Earth I will ever OHP 220 pounds. But I should be proud that I'm able to OHP 95% of my bodyweight, not dejected that it's only 65% of what this big ass dude is doing.
