Respectable PRs

I know this is pretty subjective and not terribly relevant (which means it fits perfectly with 95% of the web) but wanted input from you guys..

What do you think a decent 1 rep PR would be in the DL, squat, and bench for a 43 year old guy who is 5"10, 175, lifting almost a year?

I am, ummm, asking for a friend.

Thanks.

    you can enter your stats here

    and see where you fall.

    the breakdowns they use are subjective, as you mention, but at least it's a start, and can give you a basis for comparison as you progress.

    The problem is that it's so damn subjective.

    For example relative the people who lift at my gym and relative the general public, my lifts are "decent".

    But relative the group of bodybuilders that I chat with on facebook and relative to people who compete, they aren't anything to brag about. Especially my DL.

    Total training time makes a huge difference as does the program you're on. Someone training with a linear progression on something like SS/SL will be a lot stronger in 1 year vs someone doing their own thing and not applying overload properly.

    But having said all of that, see here:

    Also, I replied to you on Skype, moody. Your IM didn't come through until today for some reason.

    Pfft. You'd make most of the guys in my gym sweat bullets.
