    I'm curious about it because AFAIK on powerlifting is
    1.5xbw bench
    2xbw squat
    2.5xbw deadlift

    what about in clean, jerk and snatch

    For starters, I usually tell people to aim for bodyweight in the snatch and roughly 1.25 clean & Jerk. After that, usually quarters over BW are good goals to aim for.

    In the elite lifters, 2xBW snatch and 2.5xBW CJ for lighter weight classes.
