Bodyweight to Lifts Chart?

[TeenLift]

Hi everyone. I remember back in March I saw a link somewhere on one of the main pages to a chart that had different weight classes (140lbs, 150lbs, 160lbs, etc.) and then the main lifts (Squat, Deadlift, Bench, Overhead, etc.) in comparison to whether you'd be in the Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or Super (?) Advanced class. It sort of looked like:

Beginner |||||| Intermediate |||||||| Advanced SA

140lbs
150lbs
160lbs

Bench Press Overhead Squat Deadlift

At least, that's the general idea I remember. Finding that chart would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

I don't know about the chart you mentioned but this article has something slightly similar, its a "strength chart" to see wether your good, decent or great.

Don't know if its gonna be what your after but heres the link

Yeah, the exrx.net chart is the one I was talking about, but that TMuscle Article is also really good.

Thanks a lot, both of you.

The tmuscle chart looks off to me. Deadlift and squat numbers are equal for "Decent" and "Good", and "Decent" bench is more than twice what a "Decent" mil press would be. That does not compute, imo. Looks a little, uh, random.

[smalls]

yea i agree, plus the bench numbers are way too close to the squat/deadlift numbers.

The eyrx one is oughta starting strength right?

[lovestolift]

Actually it is straight out of Practical Programming.

[wrenchhands]

Ahh, yes, the riveting sequel to starting strength.

**SPOILER ALERT**

The power clean did it!

Haha, that t-muscle article is funny. 1 dip/pullup decent for women and you need 20/10 to be regarded as good as a man? A decent bench press for a man is 4x higher than for a woman?

I used 1RMs and I am between advanced and elite on all lifts except bench, where I am between intermediate and advanced and press where I am elite? Strange. Mind you, I am only just starting an intermediate program after 9 months of training. My current goals will place most lifts in or above elite status, but I hardly think this is a fair title for a year to 18 months of recreational training... My old man's squat was over 500lb at 145lb bw - you'd have to create another two categories above elite for that!

That T-muscle article is even more bizarre! I think these guides are a little too generous...

I feel like basing it solely on weight not a height/weight combo is a little off. I'd expect a 5'7 guy at 180 to bench a lot more than a 6'3 guy at 180.

That's why if you are taller, you should take advantage of your lengthy bones and massive frame and build generous amounts of lean mass! Hell, I'm running out of real estate here!

But you'd also expect a 5'7 guy at 180 to deadlift a lot less than a 6'3 guy at 180.

You'll have to explain that one to me...
