By age
Masters lifters compete in their own divisions, and the data shows why. Age here is age at the meet.
| Age | Median | 80th | 95th | Lifters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14-17 | 110.0 | 130.0 | 155.0 | 7,959 |
| 18-19 | 125.0 | 147.5 | 170.0 | 5,374 |
| 20-23 | 135.0 | 160.0 | 182.5 | 17,690 |
| 24-34 | 140.0 | 165.0 | 190.0 | 40,474 |
| 35-39 | 137.5 | 162.5 | 190.0 | 8,539 |
| 40-44 | 135.0 | 160.0 | 185.0 | 6,085 |
| 45-49 | 130.0 | 155.0 | 182.5 | 3,746 |
| 50-54 | 125.0 | 150.0 | 175.0 | 2,558 |
| 55-59 | 120.0 | 142.5 | 165.0 | 1,363 |
| 60-69 | 110.0 | 132.5 | 153.0 | 1,451 |
Age bands pool every bodyweight, so they answer "how does age move the number", not "what should a 45-year-old at this exact weight lift".
As a multiple of bodyweight

The "2× bodyweight bench" style of goal, measured against people who actually did it in competition.
Who these numbers describe. Everyone in this dataset entered a powerlifting competition. They are stronger than the general gym population, so a 50th percentile here is well above an average gym-goer — we would rather tell you that than quietly flatter you. Nobody has ever published a trustworthy random sample of what people lift in commercial gyms; what exists instead is app data that people type in themselves.
