Do you guys feel the advanced strength standards are reasonable?

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.

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.

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.

There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that do not.

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.
