ExiledX66 · 10-31-2005, 04:26 PM

Where would I find this information?

I am 21 5'10" and weigh 197.

I want to know what other people in these ranges can bench, squat, deadlift ect....

untrained:
bench 135
squat 185
deadlift 185

Trained and natural
bench 250
squat 350
dead lift 325

kenwood · 10-31-2005, 05:47 PM

bench 175
squat 215
deadlift 200 for 6-7 reps

thats what i can do and i'm 15 5'5" and weigh 157lbs

BigDyl · 10-31-2005, 06:05 PM

seriously though... aren't we leaving out some other factors here, like genetics, arm length... etc?

ExiledX66 · 10-31-2005, 06:17 PM

sure there are variables, but in a large enough group of people with the same limiting criteria, numbers are producable...

I just dont know where to find the info, what foreman says sounds reasonable, I'd like to know how he came up with it...those are practically my specs.

why do you care?

ExiledX66 · 10-31-2005, 07:25 PM

I wanna make sure Im realizing my potential

The13ig13adWolf · 10-31-2005, 07:29 PM

but your potential is gonna be very different from the next guys regardless of stats. my best friend and i have very similar stats. her legs are rockin' while they're the last body part to dial in on me and my back and shoulders are light years ahead of hers. if you're making strength gains/muscle gains/etc (whatever your goals may be)....who cares.

ExiledX66 · 10-31-2005, 07:36 PM

well my goal is to be peak in all areas within my capacity...meaning Im never gonna go out and down bottles of weight gainer or creatine supplements and shit like that, so I wanna be as strong as I can be all around, and I figure a good reference point for how strong I am is the average strength of those in my age, height and weight bracket....its not exact sure, but its an idea

I think your legs are rockin'.

I don't think she carries her logic in her pants, BigDyl.

Nate K · 10-31-2005, 08:45 PM

We can make an exception every now and then.

She looks dangerous in this picture. I like danger... I don't think I would have a choice if she asked me to do "something..."

thanks a lot

bracewater · 11-01-2005, 11:04 AM

you will get a wide variance on the numbers people put up for each of those lifts (Considering only folks that "work out"). Many people have different goals when they go to the gym. Some run marathons, some powerlift, some just want to look decent when at the beach. Each of these people will have different one rep maxes.

But, I assume you are just gathering whatever info you can so. I am in your range 5'11" 198 and my lifts are below

LAM · 11-01-2005, 11:08 AM

there are no such statistics for "average strength for age/height/weight". there are way too many variables...

Squaggleboggin · 11-01-2005, 11:11 AM

My stats are in my signature so I won't act like I'm from the Department of Redundancy Department and insult your intelligence by repeating them. I don't believe there is such data available for the 'average' person. I started a thread on this a LONG time ago and that's the answer I received. Think about it: An untrained individual would need to be trained to at least some extent to know what proper form is on the lift. This would increase the individual's max because the individual can now perform the lift more efficiently. Thus, the actual process of measuring the maximum alters what the maximum truly is.

I realize what you're trying to ask (after all I asked the same thing as I said above), but if you think about it, you answered the question of why you would want this data. There is really no point except to compare yourself to average and say "Well I'm stronger/weaker than average in this aspect." This shouldn't affect your training because you should be trying to train everything to come to your absolute best. Whether that's 1/2 of 'average' or thrice it is really irrelevant as long as you keep on working.
