Powerlifting Strength Levels

Compare a squat, bench press, deadlift or total with recorded competition entries in a selected age and bodyweight category.

These standards describe raw, tested, full-power competition entries. The same person may contribute several entries. Choose the comparison group before interpreting a level.

Your comparison

Enter your one-repetition maximum. For Total, enter the sum of your squat, bench press and deadlift.

This comparison stays on the page. It does not save a 1RM or create a goal.
