    Squat: Intermediate, stronger than 76%
    Bench: Intermediate, stronger than 69%
    Deadlift: Advanced, stronger than 86%

    Generally I'd agree with this, but I think my bench is better than my squat. The squat is my worst lift for progress and regular performance a lot less consistent.

    My next main goals are 1.5x bodyweight squat, 1x bodyweight bench and 2x bodyweight deadlift.

    Mine are my 100%. They are a lot lower than a lot, but more than others.

    I finally graduated to being able to put weights on the bar for a bench press (okay, the plates are 2.5kg, but to me that's awesome!).

    Also in response to @SabAteNine and @marikaCL

    All that matters is you are giving it your all. Never be anything less than proud of your efforts when you know it put it all out there.
    Now nothing is wrong with being inspired by the other people's post to push yourself.
    You're doing great, just take it slow and build up at your own pace. Make sure to keep it light until you have the form down 100%. And always consult a trained professional whenever you have questions.
    You've all got this!

    I should point out that strengthlevel.com is a sampling of its users, not the entire gym population et al. (You are just measured against the users of the website in other words.) My all time deadlift hardly ranks as elite among other 93s. I know many athletes who pull 600 lbs for reps at 205 or less. I can't even pull 600 lbs yet.

    For all 93 Raw Masters in Wisconsin, I have the second best deadlift. For all Open Raw 93s in Wisconsin my deadlift ranks 43rd, and Nationally I don't rank. :'(

    And there are other ways to access your strength. https://symmetricstrength.com uses different metrics other than just bodyweight and weight on the bar, but in a competitive context.

    I don't do a 1-rep max because I like my ligaments. But after lifting for a few months I'm certain that bench, squat, and deadlift obove my body weight is simple enough.
    Uh yeah, ligaments. :D:D:D

    Great stuff and smart to point out that your results are measured against it's users meaning that it is still a limited source of data. Like the old saying take everything with a grain of salt.

    I'll have to try the link you shared, I prefer to use multiple references for my data.
