[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to get a sense of strength standards at different training levels, weight category and age, look at exrx.

Here is the link for deadlift standards for people of 40-49 years of age.

You should check out strengthlevel.com.  It has standards based on millions of user submissions by gender, age, and body weight. [/quote]

It is based on self-reported data which I do not trust. Anyone can submit anything and you do not know whether the movement was actually executed to an accepted standard. The numbers there are substantially inflated compared to what you see in an average gym. I find data based on the experience of reputable strength coaches much more trustworthy. I have been lifting for over a decade and the exrx standards pretty closely match what you will see in real life depending on age, weight and experience level.[/quote]

Huh, according to exrx standards I am have an elite deadlift!  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

Me too, but elite over there is more related to experience level. With those numbers you might stand out at an average Gold's gym, but might likely still come last even in a local level powerlifting competition. The elite category is a solid achievement though for an average gym goer not interested in competing in strength sports.[/quote]
