Thread: Standards of strength

interesting stuff Dave

I think so, but reading that ive got some work to do haha

Haha, depending on what markers I use I have some work to do! a 280kg squat is a little way off

Here is a much more in depth chart. I've been using it. Even got a 1rm calculator at the bottom.

Yaaaay just shy of Elite on everything (don't do cleans or snatches too complex for dumb dumb here

That's really interesting. I thought my squat was always better than my pull, but I only got good on squat and great for pulling. As expected, my bench was barely decent lol

Hey, where's the curve for age?.......

Good chart, although some of those seem to be a bit skewed (at least at the lower end). Especially for a 1RM.

Just looking at things like a full extension pronated pull-up. I don't know a lot of guys that could do 30 of those chin over bar to full hang, even heavy lifters. Going from 2 plates to 3 plates on a bent over row suddenly makes you great instead of decent?

Thanks for posting both of these charts, I've really been wondering how I compare to other females on my lifts. Being new and ignorant, this was extremely helpful.

i have no idea what my 2rep max is for anything so this just confuses me. so at 195lbs i should bench around 250??? i hardly ever try anything that high at the moment. but after a bench workout of 185x5 205x5 and 225x5 i knocked out 185x15 no idea what that indicates though.

^ if you look in the link I posted there is a 1rm calculator. Although I am way better in 6+ rep range than 1-3 so I don't feel like it's accurate for me, but others say it's close for them.

For reference niki, these are pretty elite levels - I only register "good" on these lifts, and I NEVER see other women training as heavy as I do.
