Other standards exist. But let's take those for the sake of argument. Until you can do that you're a "beginner", and whether you do this or that rep range isn't important, only that you pick a decent programme and stick to it until you reach decent lifts.PTC said:You are a beginner if you cant bench 100kg, squat 140kg and deadlift 180kg

Some would argue it is all dependant on your goals - unless you are a Powerlifter, you may not need to bench, deadlift or squat at all. If bodybuilding is your goal, other exercises may be used to achieve the same results of better than those lifts. To say you are a beginner if you can't bench / squat / dead X amount is a big call imo. I know a BB who does not believe in squating or deadlifting, and only uses DB's for bench, but he certainly is no beginner.

You know your posting in the strength/powerlifting section.
The cable crossover section is over there.
In the STRENGTH section, you are a beginner unless you can make those lifts, in the bodybuilder section I think you need to be able to apply tanning oil in 3.48sec to be classed as an expert.
Go and talk about tricep kickbacks in the other section.

You are a strength novice until you can make those lifts.
Not too hard to understand.
