Going to nit pick you so that no one gets discouraged - a dude in his 20s could probably get a 5 plate deadlift in 5 years if he was dedicated to it. And I don't know how big this dude was, but a lot of people would be shocked at how big they could get with 5 years of diligent training 3-5 days per week, 45-75 minutes per workout.
People can move a lot faster than they realize with weights. The trick is finding a good routine early, getting some feedback on their form, learning how to progress with it, eat properly, sleep properly, and just stick with that for years.
You are probably right. I am a noob at the gym. Only 6 months since I started.
What got me interested in this particular location is the "local crowd". Lots of gyms tailor to the noobs like me, full of people who have no idea what they are doing. With a personal trainer, it doesn't matter to me yet, but as I start going solo, it's nice to see that the one I chose has the "right crowd".
My message was random, so I'll clarify - whatever you want to do well, look to the people close to you. Are they doing it well? If not, it'll be 10x harder for you to do it solo. The right crowd helps. Be it business, fitness, strength, health, spirituality, family values, education ... all of it.
