Just give yourself some time. I'm past the advanced column, and definitely don't consider myself to be advanced. Looking at the list again, I'd say those numbers are low... but like I said already, "standards" don't mean much really... they're about as useful as one rep max calculators. You do what you can do, simple as that.

This is a copy of the WLStandards.pdf that was posted awhile ago. The numbers seem fairly accurate.
Untrained
Novice 3-9 months
Intermediate up to 2 years
Advanced Multi-year training
Elite athletes competing in strength sports less than 1% of the weightlifting pop
Just because you made it into the elite column doesn't mean you're near the top of the elite. Overall, it's probably a bell curve.

well it has me mostly in the novice range which is right for my near 4 months in the gym.
my wife is novice for her weights....except for the squat it says she is advanced....she just started doing squats 2 weeks ago and is doing 135lbs for reps and if the 1rm calc is halfway accurate that means she is able to do 160ish 1rm.
it doesn't seem to be a perfect set of charts but its good enough. i just find it funny that my wife who has even less experience than I do is classified as "advanced" though i am mortified that she can squat more than her own body weight and I am not even close to being able to...

I dont know I think a 600 lb deadlift would place most people as elite (more then advanced) there should be something after elite though.. like Grandmaster. lol
Excellence is the result of Caring more than others think is Wise; Risking more than others think is Safe. Dreaming more than others think is Practical and Expecting more than others think is Possible.

See I don't see where they charts say that just because you are at the elite level doesn't mean there isn't more left. By the time you get to an elite level You are ready to start challening on an elite level. Oh like every guy that is a serious strength athlete is performing those lifts well above the elite level under 5 years training RAW.
Edit after reviewing the play I see that its probably for your avg lifter as opposed to you strength athleteLast edited by spirit3530; 12-23-2006 at 08:00 PM.
