This is an article for the nerds regarding strength training.
It has a graph of peak force developed during deadlifting, measured (I think) from a pressure plate underneath the feet of the lifter.

Interesting conclusions... Always lift as fast as possible during the concentric (higher acceleration = higher force for the same mass, i.e F=ma). Also, 65%-85% of 1rm is an ideal weight (Sheiko/Smolov anyone?)
It's also a website which is a goldmine for me as I've rock climbed for a number of years, and provides a few ways of setting up strength routines for the advanced athlete.... for exercises other than the bench press.
They're written but here's a video version:

Anyone who's rock climbed check this out, the guy is ridiculously strong:

If you haven't rock climbed try doing a 1 arm lock off at any point during a chin up, you'll see how hard this stuff is.
