Every Masters athlete I know likes to compare their result with a “what-if” scenario, based on the current world record.  That “what-if” is the famous age grade calculators.

For example, if I run 58 sec for 400m at age 55, that’s “equivalent” to a 49.03 based on the age grade calculator.

I don’t know about you, but 49 point sounds a lot better than 58!  (Yes, my ego is shattered)

You can use Howard Grubb’s WMA Track and Field age-grading calculator 2014 (there are others out there)

Have you wondered where you stack up against other people in your age group? Well, now you can.

These PDFs are from this site:

Squat Standards in Pounds Squat Standards in Metric
Bench Press Standards in Pounds Bench Press Standards in Metric
Deadlift Standards in Pounds Deadlift Standards in Metric
Power Snatch Standards in Pounds Power Snatch Standards in Metric
Power Clean Standards in Pounds Power Clean Standards in Metric
Muscle Endurance Standards

Here is a quick Bench Press sample (Mens Open and M40, pounds) for those on smart phones and don’t want to open up a PDF:

Bench Press Men Open and 40 years Old

For a M50 man at 181 lbs bodyweight, Bench Press numbers are at 150bs for Intermediate, 210 for Advanced, and 260 for Elite.

For Back Squat, it’s 205lbs for Intermediate, 280 for Advanced, and 365 for Elite.

For pushups, I have to do 25 for Intermediate, 45 for Advanced, and 60 for Elite.

Of course, Allan Tissenbaum would blow these numbers away :)

How do you compare?
