Hello, I am 16 years old (17 in 4 days) and my big all time goal was to hit 200kg (440lbs) on the trap/hex bar dl before 17 which I reached yesterday. I weigh 77kg or 169lbs at 176cm or 5'9". I know comparing strength as a teen is hard cause one you are not an adult and two other teens might be stronger cause of genetics and when they hit puberty etc etc etc. I just want to ask if 200kg for the trap bar deadlift is decent in terms of strength. Been lifting for 3 years but the 2 first were very subpar with little results.
Video: I'd link it but since this is a new account I don't have 50 posts so doesn't work. Also couldn't upload the file, ya'll just gotta have to trust me. If you're skeptical hit me up on discord and I can send it. Markus#4151
Obv I am rounding quite a bit, my form usually isn't like that but I still count it as a pr.

440 trap bar
similar to my lifts at 16. I recall doing 315 on the straight bar at age 16. I did 365 before I grad high school. I dint gain much from age 16-18 because I wasn't gaining much weight from then. From 18-20 Went for 365 to 501 in my first competition. During that time I went from 185 to 200 pounds. My point being that you will plateau but by getting better with nutrition and new training strategies will help you push pass the plateaus.

Its not bad but remember a trap bar DL is sort of a squat/deadlift hybrid.
Because the center of gravity is more inline with the hip instead of instead of in front of the legs like a conventional DL.
Obviously a conventional DL would be harder.
You have a good start to your strength though better than most.
