If you're under 6 feet, your relative strength is irrelevant

I'm sick of manlets on youtube and forums posting their videos acting like they are so strong because they can bench/squat/deadlift a high number for their bodyweight. A 5'6 160 manlet is the equivalent of a 6'2 200 pound man, so stop comparing your relative strength to 6'2 160 pound men. Fawkin manlets

True, and that's not even the point I was trying to make

Exactly. I mean, take Nightfly here. He squats pretty much the same as me in terms of max strength numbers, but for his structure, leg length, torso length, ROM, etc, that's pretty crazy if you think about it at 6'5.

Current PR status:

All time squat: 165 kg/Old age squat: 130 kg
All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg
All time bench: 85 kg/Old age bench: 70kgx5reps
All time hip thrust (same as old age hip thrust): 160kgx5reps

I'm not impressed.

Then grow into a decent weight for your frame, quit bitching, and compare on a body weight adjusted formula like everyone else does.

Manlet raggggeeeee

Give me a formula to use that apparently everyone uses already. I've never heard anyone use a bodyweight adjusted formula (whatever that even means). All I hear is manlets bragging about how they can bench 2x their bodyweight (thats why when manlets post strength videos, they'll put @160 pounds or whatever. Never seen someone of normal height do that) and thinking they are better than everyone else. But I guess manlets need something to be happy about.

isn't 5 10 the american "normal height" thus 6-2 would be more abnormal than 5 8.  Clearly height plays a role as do genetics, but dont dismiss someone's strength just because they are shorter. It still takes hard work to bench that much over your body weight I dont care how tall you are.

Besides that who cares what other people think or say, if you are getting stronger and beating your OWN PR's then thats all that matters not what some guy on youtube or forums says or brags about due to insecurities.

Yes, I'm just joking around. My point is shorter guys always brag about their relative strength and compare it to taller guys, but it's not a fair comparison. Every single manlet will put their bodyweight in their video titles on youtube to brag about their relative strength.

Used at pretty much any competition:

Powerlifting
Wilks http://www.wimwam.nl/wilkscalculator.htm
Siff http://tsampa.org/training/scripts/siff/
Both can be used for totals or single lifts. Wilks
Malone-Meltzer to age adjust for junior and masters

Weightlifting
Sinclair
Sinclair-Malone-Meltzer

Wilks total is often used to compare a single lift anyway so you can use it for any exercise you want.
