This seems backwards. A 3x BW lift is more impressive the heavier you are. If it’s impressive for someone at 148, it’s certainly impressive for someone at 220.
As far as what is average, however pointless it is to compare yourself to people on the internet, comparing yourself to what other people could do if they tried consistently is even more pointless. I’d bet that the percentage of the human population that can pull 405 right now is less than 1%. Even if you limit it to men from say, 18-40, you’re probably talking about a single digit percentage. The lift may not be good for a powerlifter, but it certainly isn’t average in the general population.
