Where do your lifts rank?

Because we have enough threads about everything else other than lifting, how do your lifts -- Power and Olympic -- rank among those at Strength Level?

I'm 45, average bodyweight of 90kg/200lbs with all time bests of S:425, B:325, D:525.

The only really big surprise for me was my bench press. As I come off this injury and with rising totals in my age division, this has given me a little extra focus to the work I do in the gym now. Goals are to hit 3x squat, 2x bench, 3.5x deadlift.

What about you? Where do you stand? What are goals?

    I'm 33, 215 lbs and my bench sucks. My goals for the next year are a 500 squat, 300 bench, 650 deadlift.

    According to the calculator, I am currently:

    Squat: stronger than 89% of lifters in my division with a 2.16x bodyweight squat - Advanced
    Bench: stronger than 63% of lifters in my division with a 1.33x bodyweight bench - Intermediate
    Dead: stronger than 96% of lifters in my division with a 2.47x bodyweight deadlift - Elite

    Thank you, I was pretty happy with my most recent deadlift PB :). No plans to compete at the moment but never say never! My immediate goal is a 90kg squat, struggling with my squats recently but I'll get there

    Deadlift PRs are my favorite too! I've been lifting consistently for about 4 years and am doing my first competition next month.

    Squat - 127.5kg @ 85kg body weight - advanced, stronger than 89% of age cohort with a 1.5 times body weight squat

    Bench - 92.5kg @ 88kg body weight- advanced, stronger than 85% with 1.05 times body weight bench.

    Deadlift - 170kg @ 85kg body weight - elite, stronger than 96% with 2.00 times body weight deadlift.

    Kinda surprised my squat is ranked up as high as it is.

    23, weighing averaging 183 lbs right now. Recent maxes at that body weight - 285 squat/ 155 bench/ 325 dead
    Lifting for about 3 years but just starting to really get into strength programming.
    I'm down 30 lbs (and was sick on and off the first 7 months of this year so didn't get a lot of training in) so squat and bench have suffered, but I feel like I am in for some PR's in the next month or so now that I'm finding my groove. Deadlift is surprisingly a lifetime PR even being at a lower body weight.
    Anyway, enough with my reasons for feeling inadequate and on to the rankings...
    Squat - stronger than 91%, 1.56x bw - Advanced
    Bench - stronger than 70%, .85x bw - Intermediate
    Dead- stronger than 91%, 1.78x bw - Advanced
    I would like to deadlift 405 in the next year if possible, squat 315+, and bench bodyweight, whether it be maintaining weight and gaining strength or losing more bodyweight.
    I would like to cut more bodyfat in the future but I plan to maintain for a while so I can focus on strength/muscle gains. Looking at a meet in May 2017.

    Errr well... these are my bests at the BW's that I can remember... plus they're all gym lifts. I know for a fact my Squat is not around that currently due to working back up post-injury and switching to High Bar. I've TnG'ed 270 lbs on Bench Press, but I went with Paused weight.

    Squat, 360 lbs - Your Strength Level for Squat is Intermediate. You're stronger than 78% of male lifters in your age group weighing 180 lb. Your lift is 2.00 times your bodyweight.

    Bench (Paused), 255 lbs - Your Strength Level for Bench is Intermediate. You're stronger than 68% of male lifters in your age group weighing 180 lb. Your lift is 1.42 times your bodyweight.

    Deadlift, 525 lbs - Your Strength Level for Deadlift is Elite. You're stronger than 96% of male lifters in your age group weighing 181 lb. Your lift is 2.90 times your bodyweight.

    TFW you suck at everything but Deads...

    *Edit - Probably makes sense to include the actual poundage...

    BW:100kg

    Bench = 160kg (Advanced)
    Squat = 220kg (Advanced)
    Deadlift = 260kg (Advanced)

    These are all gym PB's set during a mock meet last year.

    I don't have a whole lot of current known 1RM's, but as best I can figure I fall in the intermediate category in pretty much everything. Except the dips and pullups I hit advanced numbers, not surprising since the majority if my training is bodyweight.

    The thing is, most of us probably feel like our lifts are pretty cruddy. Never satisfied.

    I haven't run a heavy cycle in about a year which would have been the last time I did a 1RM, so I have no idea...but based on those numbers, I'd be intermediate with all of the common movements.

    Very cool site and thank you for sharing! :)

    Didn't tell me anything I don't already know-I'm strong at Pulls (Deadlifts, Rows, Pull Ups) and "intermediate" at Pressing and Squatting.

    I'm 66 and 160#. For men my age and weight, I'm in the "Advanced" category for all lifts :

    SQT 240 1RM
    DL 310 1RM
    BP 200 1RM
    OHP 125 1RM
    ROWS 10x145

    and exercises

    Dips at BW -15 reps/set
    Pull-ups at BW - 10 reps/set
    Push-ups at BW - 20 reps/set

    Killustrated rates this performance as "Elite" in all lifts and exercises for men my age and weight, except for SQTs which is rated "Advanced" (10# short, need 250). Push-ups (not rated on Strength Level) are also rated "Elite" on Killustrated. Rows are not rated on Killustrated.

    See:http://lonkilgore.com/freebies/freebies.html

    I feel that this is more than satisfactory performance for a man of my age and weight and I really have no ambition to lift heavier or to do more reps than already listed, except for DL, which is my best lift and where my goal is 320 (2x BW) which is only 10# away. I have already achieved my other personal goals of SQT 1.5x BW, BP 1.25x BW and OHP .75x BW.

    After I achieve DL 320, my only goal will be to maintain my weight and strength at these levels and to avoid any injury doing it.

    Doesn't mean that I might not try to lift/do more from time to time but this will NOT be my primary motivation. Maintaining my health and well-being, as I continue to age and my body naturally deteriorates because of it, will be my main concern.

    BTW: I achieved these numbers in only 6 months of training which I did entirely in my home gym. 1RMs are true weights because lifting for a 1RM is specifically included in my program.
