Ever since several months ago, I have become a member of the 1000 lbs. club. My best 1 RM stats that I have displayed so far are:
low bar back squat below parallel: 335 lbs.
Bench Press: 230 lbs.
Deadlift: 445 lbs.
total: 1010 lbs.
I am curious, about what percent of people in the world make it to the 1000 lbs. club? Is this a big deal or no?

Depending on your age a ~400 wilks score is pretty respectable. 1000 lbs is a good goal for a novice lifter.

Congrats on breaking the 1000lb mark, my friend. You've hit the gym, gotten stronger and seen results. I figure the 1000lb mark is what separates the serious lifters from the gym rats. Just keep at it and remember that your next goal is a 1015 pound total. It's a marathon, brother. Congrats again and keep it up.

The day I got into the 1000lb club father finally took me into his arms and wept, for I was no longer the shame of the family.

it's a good start, not many people make it to the 1000 club, most likely because people don't perform the movements or take lifting seriously.
however from a powerlifting perspective it isn't really impressive, unless you were maybe 140 lbs.positivity brah crew

Probably not even .1%
But I'd be surprised if even 1% of the world's population lifts.PRs:
Squat: 630 (sleeves)
Deadlift: 735 (straps)
Strict OHP: 330
Log Clean & Press: 360

It was cool for a minute. To the average person, its a huge accomplishment. Talking to non-lifters, they'd be extremely impressed. In this community, its nothing. It all depends on your audience.

I haven't joined the "club" myself but I just don't see is as impressive. It's just a milestone to measure progress, nothing special.

If you'er a 250 lb. man at 25 years old that is NOT impressive at all, if you are 132 lb. over 40 that would be VERY impressive.

What about the 1000 lb for squat/bench/clean? I'd say that's quite impressive especially for a high school kid who the standard is aimed at.Originally Posted by jonglo

Sure when you swap the biggest lift for a much more difficult lift, and target high school kids, yeah it's a totally different story.Originally Posted by BombDonald

It's impressive amongst the general population. In the powerlifting community, not so much. Congrats though.
