i can one rep the dumbell press for my weight (heavy weight) which is crap since everyone from 198 up is in there, so theyre saying i should be able to do what ronnie, jay, markus and gunter do? **** me! ive got to get in the gym!

I come in as a light heavy on that first chart and in all the lifts I actually do I come in at excellent apart from wall curl where I come in as fair and reverse curl which I hit the good range on.

But thats about right my biceps have always been weaker than the rest of my body parts.

As for the second one on bench and squat I come in as a college star I have a ways to go to hit the national level!

it does seem unfair lumping everyone over 198lbs into the same category, i mean how can you compare a guy who weighs 200lbs to a guy whos 240 or even 300.

i thought that, but knowing nothing about powerlifting i just prosumed that was the weight catagories they used

far as I knew once you hit super heavyweight in weight or powerlifting there was no limit so that may be why?

I dont go by this. This means that someone at 200 lbs should be able to lift the same as a 300 lb person. bull
