    Heavy lifter technically is

    Benching half your body weight
    Body weight x Squat
    Body weight x 1.5 Deadlift

    Being able to rep once

    This above is for women without any gear (naturally).

    This is what I'm talking about competition and all- if you are talking about real life then it's subjective but usually these should be the goals to aspire to.

    For example men it's Benching body weight , Deadlift 2x body weight and Squat 1.5x body weight. This is benchmark. Obviously there are men who Deadlift 1100 lbs and all- at that point of strength it's the total that starts to count more -total would be Deadlift + Bench press + Squat = Your best one rep

    Great, so I was never lifting heavy even though I could only do 1-5 reps. Oh well.. at least I tried and managed to progress to 1x bodyweight for deadlifts.
