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 | 175.0 | 210.0 | 243.0 | 23,529 |
| 18-19 | 210.0 | 240.0 | 275.0 | 18,519 |
| 20-23 | 227.5 | 260.0 | 295.0 | 47,151 |
| 24-34 | 237.5 | 274.9 | 310.7 | 77,762 |
| 35-39 | 235.0 | 272.5 | 310.0 | 12,451 |
| 40-44 | 227.5 | 262.5 | 300.0 | 8,440 |
| 45-49 | 220.0 | 252.5 | 287.5 | 4,840 |
| 50-54 | 205.0 | 242.5 | 276.0 | 3,821 |
| 55-59 | 200.0 | 230.0 | 262.5 | 2,244 |
| 60-69 | 180.0 | 212.5 | 242.5 | 2,810 |
| 70+ | 145.0 | 177.5 | 210.0 | 980 |
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
| Percentile | × bodyweight |

| 25th | 2.40× |
| 50th | 2.80× |
| 75th | 3.10× |
| 90th | 3.50× |

| 99th | 4.00× |
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.
