Deep dives
Understanding Strength Standards
Strength standards are averages and should not be seen as absolute benchmarks applicable to everyone. Individual variations in strength can be significant among people with similar levels of muscularity. When evaluating specific numbers, one should consider adding an error margin of around 5 to 10 percent to account for inter-individual variability. This approach emphasizes that while numbers can serve as guidelines, they should be interpreted flexibly to reflect personal capacity.
