    My guess would be nearing the end of beginner.

    If you are eating enough to support growth, can you add weight to the bar every session? If yes then you are a beginner, if no then intermediate.

    While that table provides a good rule of thumb, I find the numbers to be pretty low. All my lifts are between Advanced and Elite, but I consider myself an Intermediate lifter.

    A better way to tell is how quickly you can progress:

    Daily: beginner
    Weekly: intermediate
    Monthly: advanced
    Longer: elite

    That's a great way to put it, since it is so simple.

    Beyond novice, 5 3 1 or see above:)

    Unless it is obvious to anyone who isn't blind that you lift weights, you might still benefit from a little more attention to big basic barbell exercises for enough reps:).
