Article: "Are You Strong?"

[Voxel]

I’m preferential to this table instead,

@Christian_Thibaudeau

What you do is look at how an athlete is performing in 5 key lifts and you attribute points to his performance.

You then add up all the points to see his level.

For example, if he did:

Squat 1.65x his body weight (3 pts)

Power clean 1.15x his body weight (1 pts)

Deadlift 1.75x his body weight (3 pts)

Bench press 1.5x his body weight (3 pts)

Did 8 pull-ups (3 pts)

He has a total of 13 pts

Beginner = Less than 12 pts

Intermediate = 12-20 pts

Advanced = 21-25 pts

Is it perfect? No. But it gives me a good idea where I can start with when it comes to methods and loading schemes on each of the three main days

Because even if you are an outlier in some respects, such as pull-ups the aggregate of how you perform across lifts is taken into consideration.

Also hugely fond of this article
