Use these deadlift strength standards to benchmark your pull against lifters with a similar profile. The standards update as you adjust age, sex, bodyweight, and units.
Deadlift standards are especially useful because raw numbers can be misleading. A big deadlift means something very different for a 68 kg lifter than it does for a 120 kg lifter.
Set your real details so the standards reflect your profile instead of the default starting values.

A good deadlift changes fast with bodyweight. Raw numbers make impressive screenshots, but they are a poor way to judge how strong a deadlift really is.
That is why deadlift standards by bodyweight are so useful. A 315 deadlift can be a huge milestone, but whether it reads as beginner, intermediate, or advanced depends on who is pulling it.
Use the standards on this page to answer the question people actually mean when they search for deadlift standards: not just 'what is impressive,' but 'what is impressive for me?'
That depends on bodyweight, sex, and age. A deadlift around 1.5 times bodyweight is a meaningful milestone for many lifters, 2 times bodyweight is strong, and 2.5 times bodyweight is advanced to elite for many men. Personalised standards give a cleaner answer than a single ratio.
Yes. A 315 pound deadlift is strong for many recreational lifters. Depending on your bodyweight and sex, it can land anywhere from intermediate to advanced territory. The exact category is why standards by bodyweight are useful.
No. You can estimate your deadlift 1RM from a recent heavy set, then compare that estimate against the standards on this page. That is usually a smarter approach than maxing out constantly.
