    Strength Standards

    I just came across this link on BB.com, I found it interesting to see how I measured up. I range between novice & intermediate for my weight.

    "The standards (not norms) presented in the linked tables below represent a 1RM performance (in pounds) that can be reasonably expected of an adult athlete at various levels of training advancement using standard full range-of-motion barbell exercises with no supportive wraps or suits."

    Weightlifting Performance Standards

    The fitness testing page of the same site has also got some interesting calculators & what not.

    I am intermediate too... which is described as "A person who has engaged in regular training for up to two years" - that's about right for me.

    I am an intermediate bencher, and advanced for both squat and deadlift. Happy days!

    Correct me if I am wrong, but you have only been training a few months? so that make you a novice. Don't stress about it! the important thing is that are working on it!

    To be honest? Forget about online assessments like this one.
