Standards are raw lifts from the OpenPowerlifting dataset, by IPF weight class. Percentiles are among people who have competed, so they run higher than gym-floor standards.
Where the tiers come from
Each tier is a percentile band among raw competitors in the OpenPowerlifting dataset: intermediate is the median, advanced the top 20%, elite the top 5%, and world class the top 1% of a weight class. The thresholds come straight from the data.
