Is this true ..?

[C.K.]

he probably meant body weight exercises I agree if you can't do chins or dips you're outta shape

Tell him to shut his mouth next time and to bring the rule book on what you should be lifting.

Actually I would be shooting for 2x your weight on Squat, dead lift and 1x your weight on bench, barbell row etc. No real hard fast rules. As stated before everyone should be able to do dips and chins.

As far as curling your weight???? Doubt it.
