Where do your lifts rank?
Replies
-
All of my lifts are "Advanced" at my current BW. These are gym numbers though. I'll participate after my meet this weekend with true results.5

This is interesting (more in a "see where I'm headed" kind of way) -- I am a baby - just started lifting (SL 5x5) in July 2016, had been doing mostly bodyweight/TRX prior.
Female, 33, somewhere between 5'3" and 5'4" and bobbling around just on either side of 150 at the moment - these are all projected 1RM; I've never really tested since I'm still such a newbie:
Bench (Novice): 83.5 lbs/.48x BW (I think this is probably a little optimistic. 80 is probably more likely.)
Deadlift (Novice): 180 lbs/1.17x BW
Squat (Novice): 160 lbs/1.07xBW
My OHP is so inconsistent right now thanks to some shoulder issues that I didn't bother, but I'd be shocked if it ranked above beginner. Sigh.
My big goal right now is a 200-lb deadlift. Would love to do it by my birthday in mid-January, but we'll see.

My bench has fallen off quite a bit since my injury and I'm trying everything i can to get it back up.
I tore my Labrum in my left shoulder last year as a result of an injury i had in high school playing football, 17 years ago.... ugh 80% tear and really pushed myself to get my strength back up ... but my bench has never been the same, i cant seem to keep my shoulder bladed retracted and down now the right side always "slips out" and i lose my form, also the injury is always in the back of my mind and keeps my from really loading up the weight, now that the left side is repaired and fully healed I'm starting to notice that i may have issues with the right shoulder as well
Any tips on how to get my lift back to being solid again?
DL 425
Squat 360, although I've been taking it lighter lately and doing Bulgarian splits because the pressure of the bar on my shoulder scares me, always get a little soreness inside so i started the Bulgarian split squats to lighten the bar and still get an effective workout
Bench ..... 225 ... used to be 315 for reps fml
1000+ lb leg press for reps0 -
I don't think they actually factor age into their calculations. I looked at the numbers based on my actual age of 52 and compared the results against a 24 year old and got the same thing.
Based on my most recent meet, at a bw of 58.8kg
Squat 110.5 = elite
Bench 52.5 = intermediate (and not likely to ever be much better)
Deadlift 147.5 = elite4 -
Squat - 94% stronger and 1.83 x my bodyweight (115 lbs. squatting 210 for 6) Says my one rep is 244 lbs. Hm, gonna have to test that out
And now I'm inspired to push my deadlift attempts a little more instead of just doing high reps, and maybe try to bench. But we'll see!2 -

It's so satisfying to get to that 200lb deadlift. That was my goal for the end of 2016 and I just got it last week. Going from 195 to 200 was a big mental jump for me though. You got this! Good luck with everything!3 -
I don't know how I never checked this before! I'm 30 an 140# for reference.
I'm pretty stoked about those clean and snatch percentages since they're my primary lifts....too embarrassed to post the terrible bench image (71%) ha-ha

Looks like I'm all intermediate lifts after 7+ years of lifting. I was in the advanced category a couple years ago, but have really backed off on 1RM lifting of late. (Shoulder injury convinced me it was time.)
My goal right now is to lift a combined 1,000 on my 40th birthday next summer. (Based on last week's lifts, I'm at B253, S355, D405 = 1013, so I'm there now. Just don't want to slip.)2 -
Haven't tested my 1rm for these in a while, but my 190lbsx4 squats puts me at advanced, my 253.5lb deadlift is "advanced", and my 130lbsx4 bench is "intermediate"! And I thought I was a bench specialist haha!

I'm novice, but nearly intermediate with all of them. Which is pretty awesome for just starting out. I'll get there...2

I just did the same. The percentages changed.

If in doubt check Killustrated's strength charts which definitely factor in age in into their standards.

That says I'm almost elite on deadlift, firmly in the advanced category for squat, and elite on bench. :shrug:1 -
Bench advanced (not surprising...former bench monkey)
OHP intermediate (huh, I'd have to hit 207 to be advanced)
Squat intermediate
Deads intermediate
Neither squats or deads are that much of a shock. I never worked legs when younger and it's taking time to build them up.
However, over the past 3 years of solid lifting I think I've done alright.
I've gone from/to:
Squat 165/315 (and I could barely, I mean barely get 165)
Bench 185/305 (former bench monkey so it came back rather quickly)
OHP 105/185 (again, upper body was much stronger)
DL 185/385 (had never, ever done DL before so....)

Aww, thanks! And congrats on yours - that's awesome! Thus far, I have a love/hate relationship with deadlifts - so satisfying when they go well, but so SO frustrating if I'm having an off day. But yeah, cannot wait to pull 200.

You're correct. I was only looking at the classification.0 -
Holy crap. I feel so weak, but I've just squeaked into novice. Well, I had. I have something going on now and had to stop lifting and go back to bodyweight stuff with resistance bands because my joints are not happy with me (I have psoriatic arthritis) and I wasn't recovering.
I've been strength training two years and am slow to progress due to frequent deloads thanks to health issues and just general slowness in adapting to stimulus.2 -

Killustrated is more generous in terms of rankings but there's no questions that the categories are clearly differentiated by age in terms of the weight necessary to achieve each level.
PS: I just compared the Strength Levels for my performance vs men aged 24-39 and my ratings drop 1-2 levels to Novice or Intermediate from Advanced, so I found there is a difference in their lifting standards by age; at least for me.0 -
Fully in intermediate status. I'll take it for only lifting for two full years. No lifting background prior to that...none in HS or College. Wish I would have taken advantage of those puberty hormones when I had that chance LOL.
Only about 20lbs away from advanced for squat and DL, but still 50 away on bench

I'm quite pleased
My bench sucks in comparison but feckin tendonitis

I deal with PA among some other chit. Let me know if I can help in any way.0 -

Amazing!!!1 -
After 2 years of lifting, I am still just a wuss by these standards. Thanks alot @nakedraygun
Right there with ya...granted, I don't really do "heavy"...my lifting is more in support of my cycling and general health than anything.
I'm supposed to run a good 12-15 week heavy cycle starting January and I'm not really looking forward to it...I find them boring.0 -

At least were pretty.1 -
after 4 months of lifting at 35 years old I'm just in the intermediate for deadlifts and the upper novice range for bench and squat.
I had a bunch of excuses of why my numbers weren't better all written out here but here it is. I'm improving and getting more and more confident under the bar and plan on jacking these numbers up higher next year.2
