How a 63 kg woman ranks in raw meet results OpenPowerlifting

This field contains 8,943 raw meet results in the 57–63 kg / 126–139 lb class. Percentiles describe recorded entries, not the general population, and repeat competitors may contribute more than one result.

At 63 kg (139 lb), Within the recorded meet results the top 10% reach 85 kg (185 lb), 25 kg (55 lb) above the median 60 kg (130 lb); the top 1% reach 110 kg (245 lb), a further 25 kg (55 lb) on top. Based on 8,943 raw meet results in this class.

The 63 kg class in the data what makes it different

Of the 56,646 raw women's bench press entries behind these standards, 8,943 — about 16% — come from the 63 kg class.

Stepping up from the 57 kg class raises the median bench press by 2.5 kg (5 lb) (+4%); the next step to 69 kg adds another 5 kg (10 lb) (+8%).

In relative terms the median works out to 0.95× bodyweight, down from the field's per-kilo peak of 1.01× at 57 kg — the sub-linear scaling that makes the percentile, not the raw kilos, the honest comparison.

The median 63 kg woman in this dataset squats 110 kg, benches 60 kg, and deadlifts 131.5 kg — a bench-to-squat ratio of 0.55 and a squat-to-deadlift ratio of 0.84. If your own ratios sit far from that, the outlier lift is usually the one with the most room to grow.

The classic milestones read differently in every class: here a 135 lb bench press sits at roughly the 52nd percentile (stronger than 52% of meet-result entries), and a 185 lb bench press sits at roughly the 89th percentile (top 11% of meet-result entries).

Competition bench is paused on the chest; a touch-and-go rep inflates the number by 3–6% from the chest-bounce. The standards below are raw (no bench shirt). Because Strength scales sub-linearly with bodyweight — heavier lifters lift more in absolute terms but less per kilo of bodyweight (Vanderburgh & Batterham 1999 (PMID 10613442)), the most honest read of "is this good" is your percentile at your bodyweight, not the raw kilos.
