On a somewhat prominent /fit/ness forum, they consider the pinnacle of lifting to be 4/3/2/1 plates for the big 4 lifts. The bar is 45 lb. Each plate is 45 lb. This equates to
405 lbs for deadlift
315 lbs for squat
225 lbs for bench press
135 lbs for overhead press
If you can do these weights for these exercises, you are in the top 1% for strength.
- voisin 2y agoPerhaps top 1% among lifters? Among the general populations I am certain that these numbers would put you way beyond the 0.01%.
- voisin 2y agoOne other question, since I don’t know what forum you are referring to: are these 1 rep maximums? Or for a set of 5? 8?
- wonderwonder 2y agothis would be 1 rep max I would assume. Not many people in the world are capable of any of those lifts for 1 rep, let alone many. Although with that said 225lb for bench is not that much for a man who lifts but most people likely don't lift. Its probably top 0.01% for women.
