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 | 245.0 | 300.0 | 358.9 | 7,963 |
| 18-19 | 282.5 | 342.5 | 402.5 | 5,377 |
| 20-23 | 308.0 | 367.5 | 432.5 | 17,693 |
| 24-34 | 317.5 | 380.0 | 450.0 | 40,482 |
| 35-39 | 312.5 | 375.0 | 450.0 | 8,539 |
| 40-44 | 305.0 | 365.0 | 435.0 | 6,085 |
| 45-49 | 290.0 | 350.0 | 418.4 | 3,746 |
| 50-54 | 274.4 | 333.3 | 400.0 | 2,558 |
| 55-59 | 262.5 | 317.5 | 375.4 | 1,363 |
| 60-69 | 233.5 | 285.0 | 337.5 | 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.
