Fair enough, added. But haven't normally trained 1rm to failure. Only the Deadlift did I try 150 and fail but I reckon I could do it today. I also think I might have a 100 bench in me already but am going to run the full cycle.
Press: 73KG (Intermediate)
Benchpress: 103KG (Intermediate) - 1 Month ago will re-test sometime soon.
Deadlift: 160KG (Intermediate)
Squat: Never really tried lately
Power Clean: 75.5KG (Novice) - I only ever do them once every 3 months or so. Imo they shouldn't be the on the list.
My only reason is because it says "strength standards" and imo power cleans aren't a great test of your strength because your technique plays such a massive factor in it. I don't have a problem with things needing technique, but I just think it doesn't belong on this list. I don't mind them they are a pretty fun to do, especially in the backyark where I can drop the bar at the end and watch it leave big craters in the ground.
This just made my day... , using pre shoulder trouble numbers @200lbs bodyweight.
Press: 100kg Advanced
Squat: 200kg Advanced
Bench Press: 160kg Advanced
Deadlift: 240kg Advanced
Power Clean: never tested Novice
If I drop a few pounds and get into the 198lb division I'll feel even better about myself.
Press: Advanced/ very close to Elite
Squat: Advanced/ close to Elite
Bench Press: Advanced
Deadlift: Advanced/ Close to Elite
Power Clean: never tested
Yeah mate, excited about the raw division. Just need to get my shoulder working again. It got a bit better then I started pressing again and it got a little worse so I'm laying off it for a little longer. I'll probably pull my finger out and register with PA soon just to get the ball rolling. I also might drag myself down to the UQ club eventually to get some coaching on my form although I think its ok.
