I ran into this website and it calculates your strength compared to others.
I can’t post links but the website is called Strength Level, just google it.
I put in:
male
age 24-39
Weight 230lbs
Dumbbell curl
80lb dumbbells
8 reps
It says I’m only stronger that 82% of other males in the age range on dumbbell curls.
This can’t be right, I have never once seen another mother ****er curling the 80 pound dumbbells let alone every 5th or 6th mother ****er that walks by. I may be wrong.
What are your thoughts on this stat and how do you think they get their calculations?

These stats can’t be right on the dumbbell curl
On the road to a 500lb raw natural bench press.

I have to defend this website, because I think it's amazing for logging your lifts and see how you progress.
I have just put in the numbers you're claiming and it says you're stronger than 90percent of all people that have logged their dumbbell curls on that website (filtered lifts) when not accounting for your bodyweight.
You have to remember that the people logging their lifts on the website are all lifters, so it's not the whole male population, also for lifts like curls, many will cheat and log their heaviest cheatcurls. For bench, ohp, squat and deadlift for example I think the numbers are more accurate.

I like to use the site often for checking my maxes and figuring out what rep range to use based on them. However, I sometimes get the idea that some of the numbers they show for the different strength levels are a tad unrealistic. But I like that they factor in your lift against how much you currently weigh, for progressive results you can check back on later as you lose or gain weight. It kinda follows you a bit. I don't see it as a 100% accurate way of testing where i'm at, but I like messing around with it sometimes.
