What comparable lifters went on to do

Within 3 years: No comparable group exists. The 72 closest athletes topped out at 123.4, so none of them scored as high as this. Lifters at this level are too recent for the data to say what came next. Refused for the same reason within 1, 2, 5 and 8 years.

The chance of another result, from how lifters in the same situation went on: results so far, time since the last one, age and score. It says nothing about this lifter’s own plans. As of 7 Sept 2026, from a last result on 13 Jun 2026.

Made the same way at the start of 2023 and checked a year later, the forecast ranked who came back well: a returner had the higher chance 85% of the time. Its level was off by 6 points on average — for the least likely tenth it said 5% and 2% came back; for the most likely it said 66% and 77% did.

● share made · | expected for the jumps taken · box: the exact range luck alone gives 95% of the time. Violet is above that, red below.

Overall: 25 of 34 made, 20.1 expected. Best estimate once luck is allowed for: about 2.9 more than expected.

The ringed dot is this lifter: thirds made above or below expectation, in percentage points per third. Grey bands are where the middle half and middle 80% of all 179,905 lifters sit for that many thirds. Between the coloured lines is what luck alone produces 95% of the time for a typical lifter: wide for a few thirds, narrow for dozens. The dot’s colour uses this lifter’s own thirds, as in the All lifts bar, so right at a line the two can differ.

Expected is each third’s population make rate for that lift, its jump over the second attempt in whole percent, and whether the second was made. The surplus in words is shrunk toward zero by how much lifters really differ, so a few lucky thirds count for little; shrunk this way, a surplus before 2023 carried over to thirds since.

Share of attempts made, with a 95% interval, from 14 meets with recorded attempts. The comparison is every attempt by men whose best score was 110 or more. A high rate can mean careful attempt selection as much as reliability; the rates above do not separate the two, the third-attempt comparison allows for the jump taken.

Lift balance

Squat / bench / deadlift 38 / 23 / 39 at the last full-power meet (13 Jun 2026). Men of this bodyweight and total typically split 36 / 24 / 40.

Closer to typical than 77% of men.

The dot is this lifter; the violet ring is the typical split for their sex, bodyweight and total, which we computed. Each corner is the most that lift’s share reaches in this zoomed triangle.
