    I'm really pleased with my my results. I'm only averaging about 16-30% for the various weight lifting exercises I do - all are using dumbbells. Given I'm still lifting for weight loss rather than bulking up I'm happy! (35yr old female weighting around 68kg)

    Just thought id comment cause Ive been wondering how I stand atm cause people keep commenting about how light I am lifting, and I was really glad to see this post, and I think my results make sense for my goals (ATM, watch this space :wink: ) Also for anyone like me who isnt bulking but just strength training for weightloss, totally normal (I think, feel free to correct me)

    ETA I actually could lift heavier - I just have a bit of doubt, and usually could do 12 reps when aiming for 10. but only have 1kg intervals so...

    According to Strength Standards, I'm "advanced" at current gym PRs of 215 squat/145 bench/275 dl (38 yo female/140 bw).

    Still intermediate on OHP; PRed at 80lbs yesterday. I haven't pressed in 3 months, walked in and tested a max yesterday...happy with the PR for the most part.

    Thanks to the cat who posted the link (https://strengthlevel.com/) signing up today.
    Being that it’s leg day for me I wanted to see where I am in comparison with my lifts. I do others exercises but this is all that is a menu item. I do the dead lift but I do it with kettlebells and not the bar. So I’ll look at maybe trying it with the bar so I can gauge myself.

    Your Strength Level for Sled Leg Press is Elite★★★★★ (Happy)
    We estimate that your one-rep max is 1003.2 lb (808 for 8 reps)
    You're stronger than 99.2%of male lifters in your age group weighing 200 lb
    Your lift is 4.04times your bodyweight

    Your Strength Level for Seated Leg Curl is Intermediate★★★★★ (Need to improve)
    We estimate that your one-rep max is 209.1 lb (180x6 reps)
    You're stronger than 69%of male lifters in your age group weighing 200 lb
    Your lift is 0.90times your bodyweight

    Your Strength Level for Leg Extension is Intermediate★★★★★ (Need to improve)
    We estimate that your one-rep max is 260.7 lb (210x8 reps)
    You're stronger than 71%of male lifters in your age group weighing 200 lb
    Your lift is 1.05times your bodyweight

    Your Strength Level for Calf Raise is Advanced★★★★★ (Happy)
    We estimate that your one-rep max is 488 lb (393x8 reps)
    You're stronger than 88%of male lifters in your age group weighing 200 lb
    Your lift is 1.97times your bodyweight
    (Not sure how the calf raise is done for the purpose of this tool but I do mine on the sled press.)

    Over all happy with where I rank but I do want to improve on the leg curls and extensions.

    Love zombie threads!!! I'm advanced in bench and deadlift and elite for squat. Not too shabby for a menopausal 51 y/o female who only started lifting heavy a couple of years ago

    Thanks for bringing it back! I always enjoy these lifting oriented threads more.

    Congrats on the numbers! Its been two years since I last checked. Wonder where there at now?

    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!).

    I mean... you guys are inspiring!

    I started lifting in April. Got a barbell some weeks ago. I work out from home and don't have a squat rack, so basically I can't squat more than I can overhead. Of course my numbers are crap, but still, I'm pretty proud of the rows.

    Based on my 1 RM provided through the app which I use for working out, I score:

    Your Strength Level for Deadlift is Novice ★★
    You're stronger than 38% of female lifters in your age group weighing 56 kg
    Your lift is 1.21 times your bodyweight

    Your Strength Level for Squat is Beginner ★ (it's hard to progress on the weight as explained above so for the last few weeks I just ended up doing 3 sets of 20 squats with 45 lbs).
    You're stronger than 19% of female lifters in your age group weighing 56 kg
    Your lift is 0.75 times your bodyweight

    Your Strength Level for Bench is Beginner ★
    You're stronger than 17% of female lifters in your age group weighing 56 kg
    Your lift is 0.45 times your bodyweight

    Your Strength Level for Bent Over Row is Novice ★★
    You're stronger than 43% of female lifters in your age group weighing 56 kg
    Your lift is 0.61 times your bodyweight

    Your Strength Level for Barbell Curl is Novice ★★
    You're stronger than 38% of female lifters in your age group weighing 56 kg
    Your lift is 0.32 times your bodyweight


    I am really, REALLY curious how these will evolve in another few months.

    All my lifts are at beginner but I've only been lifting for 3 weeks. But that is a great website to look at progress.

    Although I'm very happy right now. All my lifts are going up slowly, especially the deadlift.

    Right now I'm

    Deadlift 45kg
    Bench 23kg
    Squat 30kg

    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.

    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.
