It probably depends on your objective. 352 lb is about the cutoff before you become a competitive weight lifter. Most people probably don't want to do that. Sam

It probably depends on your objective. 352 lb is about the cutoff before you become a competitive weight lifter. Most people probably don't want to do that. Same thing happens in gaming, 95th percentile is probably about where you get to the point of "learned how to play the game up to the competitive level".
The majority of my hobbies are non-competitive. If I get to one day be a 95th percentile hiker, I will be ecstatically happy. However I'd be willing to bet that for my (narrow) niche of software - I am well into the three 9s by virtue that while most backend engineers will have touched what I work on, they haven't done it for 10 years in a demanding environment.
- ch4s3 3y agoI see what you're saying, but my point is that even for non-competitive pursuits in the physical world many can involve deep levels of skill that take years to develop. Cooking is another great example, almost anyone can make dinner for themselves but making a really delightful meal for guests requires a lot of skills that take a lot of time to develop. You can go quite deep there, and while hard to measure become better than 95% of home cooks would be impressive.
