Question about Youth numbers

porphyria Posts: 106 Joined: 2004/04/24	2005/01/25, 11:37 PM Hey guys. I was just curious because I would be interested in getting into powerlifting, but does anyone know where I can find a chart or website of what the "good" expected weights are for a fourteen year old at 145 lbs? thanks in advance.

Deadlift I have no idea. I would've thought those averages would be lower, but then again I'm not even yet fourteen ( mid february ) and I know of some crazy beast kids that are freshman already so I guess it doesn't surprise me. Then again, most of those records were set 8 years ago. Do you have any "qualifying" numbers for today?

Maybe if your planning on getting into powerlifting it would be a good idea to know your maxes in the three lifts. -------------- Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. steve
