Hi /fit/ is it possible to set a strength standard on the big lifts using percentages of a lift? For example : Dlift should be 1.5 of the squat Bpress should be 0.74 of the Squat and so on? Im looking for the best balance of strength overall, does such a table exist? Thanks

>>17006004 So for example i should try to get all of my lifts in the same category at around the same place in the scale (ex: all lifts around the middle of the novice category)
