 Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Terminator said: your lifts are all 5 kg above average on this site though Well, my comment was partly tongue in cheek, as I would think I'm a bit stronger than 'actual' average. However, I also would have thought I was a lot weaker than 'Sugden' average, which is an altogether different thing, due to the number of absolute freaks on here! Is that true? If so I'm quite surprised. How do you know the average on here?  | ||

 Why not just not get fat in the first place?

If so I'm quite surprised. How do you know the average on here? Someone mentioned the median average before. It's very un-average like. We could also debate the use of averages and how meaningless they can be lol | ||

 technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | Frio3535 said:Most guys on here are of average strength amongst the strength community. I would be more worried about that to be honest, spending a lot of your time to become average. LOL. Do you think ther 100,000s footballers registered in the UK worry about not being of the ability of Rooney or Gerrard! Stupid comment! I wish I was as strong as Brian Shaw, but being average strength (or whateva strength we are perceived to be) isnt one of my main concerns in life! | ||

If so I'm quite surprised. How do you know the average on here? If you look at the number of people on the unequipped powerlifting league, you can find the halfway point on the table and use that as the median. There are a lot of "weaker" people to balance the freaks on here tbh. | ||

normal people, like me. Member 2325, 550 posts | On another (sport related) forum I kicked off a thread about training a couple of years ago. It's 7000 odd replies long now. There's a crude competition (by wilks, and I accept calculated maxes from 2-6 rep sets). There's some good athletes on there, guys who play or have played at a decent level, including some who have been semi-pro. And, there are a few strong guys who haven't entered the comp (guy with a 600lb deadlift for instance, doesn't tell us his weight) Right now, I top the wilks for back squat, front squat, deadlift and squat/bench/dead total. There are only two of us with a wilks score over 100 for the squat. | ||

 as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11330 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | I'd love to be average strength. If I was average strength, I might finally be able to get that damn 70kg log above my head! | ||

 Dan is old fashioned. Member 27, 2028 posts SQ 240, BP 170, DL 255665.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq | VanillaGorilla said: I think most people probably just see a slightly fat guy and don't pay it a second thought. This is very true. I bet the average person perceives a "strong man" to be muscular and shaped more like a bodybuilder, whereas most of the very strong men do not look like that at all. | ||

This is the data for a few more useful things when you remove all the 0's for people so as to not skew it too much. The data includes the entire powerlifting league, equipped or otherwise With as many entries as there are, it's not a bad sample size. For those not familiar with standard deviation (stdev), if you're 1 stdev more than the mean you're fairly exceptional. 2 above and you're basically a freak of nature but I'm guessing you would already realise that! Not 100% accurate but certainly more reliable than just median.  | ||
