Metric Press Standards Small

The document presents adult strength standards (ages 18+) for common weightlifting and powerlifting exercises like the press. The standards are based on competitive classification systems from the 1960s to present and account for aging. Standards are for lifts completed without supportive gear using full range of motion as defined by official rules. Higher levels like Elite do not represent the highest possible strength performance.
