what constitutes an “elite level” lifter. is it the total? or can the title be given in different lifts. i have not been able to find an answer. please help!
I believe it is just based on total. The standards should be listed on the main web site for whatever fed you are interested in.

This is for IPF/USAPL. The weights listed are in kilos. To figure in pounds, take the number and times it by 2.2046 and that will be the total.
^^ Sorry for the alignment being off on the table. It didn’t convert properly when I pasted it in as a document.
I’d have said those IPF numbers are a bit on the low side…?

The numbers are listed in KG’s right? so a 100k lifter would be 827.5 or for us ‘metrically challenged folk’ a 220 # lifter would need 1824# total to be elite. That’s basically a 600# squat, 700# deadlift and a 525# bench.

Yup. I was looking at it as 320/220/287. High but not unobtainable any stretch.

They are not “IPF numbers” they are USAPL numbers, no such ranking list on the IPF site ( http://www.powerlifting-ipf.com/ ) at least AFAIK
Important thing for me, is raw elite total for 198 lb weight class is 1471. All I care about now.
Kerley got the right one, has raw and geared for men.

FWIW the CPU (Canada’s IPF affiliate) has the same numbers.

The numbers were originally chosen by the RPF and they were supposed to be raw totals. So for instance for an 82.5kg lifter they need to total 745kg RAW.

Your post was cut down to just the mens, and edited for pounds, but otherwise left unchanged.[/quote]
To give a slightly different example, here are the raw classifications for the federation I personally lift in, the Southern Powerlifting Federation (see image)
For those that think elite levels are low, ignore the big time lifters and take a look at local meet results. Most lifters aren’t elite. In fact, a good many people will never be elite. True- some folks that are coming form a background of strength and/or those that have phenomonal genetics hit it quick. But for most, an elite totlal i s the culmination of several years of focused, specific training and competition.
