There are charts for novice, intermediate, advanced, etc. for different bw ranges that can give you a rough idea..
I'll see if I can find something online.

Theres a chart that explains what a novice, intermediate, advanced should be able to lift at BW in the back of practical programming

I know there's more to strength than just this, but I need a rabbit to chase.
What would you consider to be competitively(top 10%) strong for an adult male that weighs 200 pounds?
Bench 1rm-
Squat 1rm-
Dead 3rm- (bad back, so I'm afraid of finding my 1rm)
I know this post is a bit goofy, but I'd really appreciate your input.  |
According to practical programming an intermediate male who weighs 198 pounds should be able to.....
Bench 213 (pounds)
Squat 285 (pounds)
Deadlift 333 (pounds)

That's the chart I posted a link to. It's available from Crossfit.
I don't really know what else you want from us Pimpsticky.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

I wouldn't put too much thought into those charts, guys. You're talking a "median" of a population. You can fall way under or over and be normal for you. JUST guidelines.
