are my numbers good enough to compete?
So I just finished my LP with the only lift still going up being the deadlift, but because squatting 3x a week made me very tired and unable to process work (I work in front of a computer all day and my mind was not all there, feeling much better now that I've moved on) I decided to move on from my LP altogether. I'm mostly wondering because I'm starting to want to compete, there's a competition in the end of the year for just deadlifts, but I always thought my numbers were still poor especially when compared to things I see online. I just wanted to see where I was at and searched for strength standards online and came across two tables (one from SS), both tables are telling me I'm either late intermediate or pre advanced, which I find hard to believe since Monday of last week I was still running my LP. Now I ran a calculator to get my PR's, this is because I've never actually tried to lift singles and see what my PR was before, so I will post my actual working numbers as well as the calculator's estimation. Are these good numbers to start competing?
I'm 42
165cm - 5'5
bodyweight 75kg - 165 lbs
actual working numbers:
squat - 3x5 141kg / 310.2 lbs
press - 3x5 60kg / 132 lbs
bench - 3x12 71kg / 156.2 lbs (I was benching mostly for hypertrophy because I benched at home alone and not at the gym)
deadlift - 5 reps of 152kg / 334.4 lbs
calculator estimations for PR:
squat - 159kg / 349.8 lbs
press - 68kg / 149.60 lbs
bench - 102kg / 224.4
deadlift - 171 kg 376.2 lbs
