Method: each lifter's best successful raw bench press in full-power meets was kept once per weight class, then levels were set at the 20th (beginner), 50th (intermediate), 75th (advanced) and 90th (elite) percentiles. Competitive lifters are stronger than the average gym-goer, so these numbers are demanding.
