    I think that's geared towards a general athlete or lifter, not people who train for strength. I personally, I'm in between advanced and elite for OHP/BP/Squat/Deadlift and I don't consider myself strong let alone elite. I'd day say what they're calling advanced I'd start intermediate, and elite is way off their scale.

    lol LOW standards, I agree with the dude that said he thought it was geared towards a general athlete, NOT a powerlifter. If it was towards a general athlete I think it is legit.

    I am in between advanced and Elite and I am NOT anywhere near ELITE.

    To put things into perspective. If one could hit those elite numbers, one could, in many places, possibly represent his country in weightlifting at the olympics with that kind of strength base. Taking into consideration he knows how to do the lifts of course. Just saying. Those numbers are far from laughable.

    These also appear on exrx and were designed by Lon Kilgore I believe. I think the elite standards are a bit low.

    These are fair

    I'm intermediate on all these lifts, almost advanced. I think these are general standards, if you're a powerlifter or Olympic lifter you are already elite in your strength.

    I agree with most here. For a non strength-athlete, these are great. But for those of us whose goal is to increase these specific lifts, not so good. Anyone know if the overhead press is a strict/military press or a push-press?

    I think it's based on the stats printed in Practical Programming, which was never intended to be used for powerlifters or other strength athletes but rather for other athletes who have to play their sport as well as occasionally lift some weights.

    Thing is, all these standard are meant for people who haven't been doing too much specialized training.

    For instance, take my Deadlift (4 plates). Now, I don't consider my Deadlift anywhere near advanced; however, if I saw a newbie who hasn't done Deadlifts that much walk into the gym and rip 405lbs off the floor, I would say his musculature is pretty darn advanced.

    There are also sports that arent 100% focused on getting maxes up.

    I mean really, stock car drivers lift weights but they dont run smolov to win the Daytona.

    Yes, but the numbers on a barbell are only an indication of strength; a bigger rock being lifted is also an indicator of greater strength. Everything involving lifting focuses on progression; even if it's not measured in pounds or kilograms.
