Basic Strength Standards Chart
 

Is there a strength reference chart for weightlifting? I have seen Mark Rippetoe's chart on the Starting Strength site and I've used it as reference for Presses, Squats and Deadlifts.
I understand that progress in the Olympic Lifts involves a great deal of technique development but I am wondering if said chart would be helpful in determining when to implement certain cycles.
Thanks

The Soviet classification system is as good as it gets for this. It sets standards for 6 classifications for each bodyweight class and gender. You can find it in Charniga's Russian manual translations and in Bob Takano's upcoming book.

Sweet!

Thanks for the links Blair!

I knew the Russian standards had to be out on the web somewhere. The new US ones look pretty daunting as Mr. Takano points out.
