Methodology

Figures come from one-rep-max estimates (Wathan formula) computed from the latest logged lift of each tracked user in this cohort, then ranked. Numbers reflect lifters who track their training, who skew stronger than the general population, so treat these as standards among dedicated lifters, not the public. Read the full methodology.
