60 years of getting stronger

Every drug-tested classic result the IPF has recorded, scored on one scale so lifters separated by decades and weight classes can be compared at all.

Every result, binned by year and score; brighter means more lifters at that score. The violet line is the 99th percentile of all results that year, both sexes pooled — the level only the best one in a hundred reached. Violet marks something we computed, not something that happened on a platform.

Strongest, all time
