well that depends if ur 170lbs and u deadlift 350-400 then thats great but if ur upwards of 300lbs then its average(not to offend anyone)
age and weight are key
i deadlifted 425 at 180 and won my last comp at age 17 in march one of my friends placed 1st the class below me lifting 395. its all about how good u think it is if ur proud of it then id say its respectable i know some guys who never lift but they have to for gym they can barely get 175 and they are all like 17 or 18 and weigh what i do. it really shows in the gym about 10% of my grade lifts and there is a major drop off after that 10% so if u lift then ur automatically going to be tword the top not many see a desire to lift it takes a lot of commitment
