About Strength Standards
How It Works:
Strength standards are based on your strength relative to your bodyweight. A 100kg person benching 100kg (1x bodyweight) is stronger than a 70kg person benching 70kg, even though the weight is the same, because they're lifting a larger percentage of their bodyweight.
Experience Levels:
- Untrained: No formal training experience
- Novice: 3-6 months of consistent training
- Intermediate: 1-2 years of structured training
- Advanced: 2-5 years, following advanced programs
- Elite: 5+ years, competitive level strength
Important Notes:
• These are general population standards. Individual genetics, training history, and other factors significantly impact strength potential.
• "Total" refers to the sum of bench, squat, and deadlift 1RMs.
• Standards vary by lift - deadlift is typically strongest, bench is typically weakest.
• Focus on progress relative to yourself, not just population comparisons.
