Wait, I don't get it. I can deadlift 325, but I weigh 140, that's .43. That's bad on your system. I can squat nearly the same so that number sucks as well. What am I missing? I usually just use a website that tells me how I compare on all of the lifts since some are harder than others.

If you are deadlifting over double body weight that's quite good - every system is approximate. I've competed for years and always been told 2x bw squat, 1.5bw bench and 2xbw deadlift is when you can quite fairly call yourself "strong" regardless of what you weigh. Your 325 beats the hell out of some hamplanet pulling 405

Oh, ok, I read the instructions wrong. That makes more sense.

Are those numbers for 1RM? That does sound about right for being strong. It'll be a while before I can bench 225 though. By the time I can do that I'll probably have an extra 10 or 20 pounds anyway.
My squat is about 1.5 bw if we don't require proper form, and only require me to go below parallel. I'm working on it.

Thats actually 2.3 something. Weight lifted divided by your weight.

2.32 (inverted)

Oh, read it too fast. Ok, that explains it. Thanks.
