Rest and Recuperation Day

Strength Standards

If one is looking for pretty sound and straight forward strength standards, I would refer to Mark Rippetoe's book Practical Programming. He is fair and has a good thought process throughout his book.

The Information is available on line at:

Weightlifting Performance Standards

Metric Standards at:

Rippetoe's Strength Standards in Metric


Your Front Squat would be 80-85% of your High Bar Back Squat.
You should be able to clean whatever you can Front Squat for 3 Reps.
Your Snatch should be about 80% of your Clean and same for Power Snatch and Power Clean.
