[QUOTE="genshou, post: 2609585, member: 13164"] Ah, but anything in your Heavy Load category is something you [I]can[/I] carry around all day. You're just not very agile while doing so :) Every weight lifter I've ever known either has a higher power clean than their bench press, or has overemphasized bench press. In your case, perhaps you should just apply your power clean itself (no multiplication) as your heavy load, which puts you at Str 16 for exactly 230, or Str 17 if it's even 5 lbs. higher than that. Remember, Strength is not an upper-body score, it's a general one. I've known plenty of people who can lift more than you in every category, so I'd say a 20-21 Str is just a wee bit high. An old acquaintance of mine was (as of early 2003, not sure if he still holds it) the US record holder for the bench press at ages 14 and 15 (at 15, he lifted 430 lbs.). Should he have a 21 Strength? Probably. [/QUOTE]
