If you're consistently seeing those results in that short period of time, you're probably dealing with former lifters who have taken time off and are coming back, teenagers/early 20s, guys who just have natural raw strength, or someone who started their lifting career with a bottle of test.
No, not even in the slightest, these are typically cubicle dweebs coming into crossfit boxes completely fresh with most of the time ZERO weightlifting experience. Here I do see a lot of former soccer players, dancers, and more often than not computer engineers with almost no discernible muscle on their bodies, who have never lifted before, who have taken a sudden interest in training with weights.
Especially with a higher weight, like 200#+, you should be getting to this minimum standard fairly quickly with a good program in little time, 3-6 months is more than enough time, unless you have a limiting injury you haven't shared. If you have a coach or a trainer in your gym I might start shopping around for a new one.
