I believe no one was born weak, i believe the reason we cant lift heavy(beginner to early intermediate level) is because we havent fully waken our CNS up yet, and also doing the proper form of lifting.

When i teach a totally new lifter, they can lift comparitively heavier weight than what they did themself by just correcting their form and 1-2 months of linear progression to jump start their CNS.

My opinion is that for leisure lifter not going to represent or compete should atleast reach imtermediate level of strength in their lifting journey, and because intermediate is in the middle level of strength standard, beginner > early intermediate > intermediate > advanve > elite , and also intermediate level are very possible as natural lifter.

Majority of intermediate lifter 3 lifts 1RM ratios are 1.2-1.3x BW bench,  1.3-1.5x BW squat, 2.2-2.4x BW dead. So if you havent reach that, keep eating and training. Muscle will grow.

There are a few 1RM calculator apps you can download in playstore to calculate your 1RM base on reps lifted
