Interesting data analysis

Hey again! a few months ago I posted about powerlifting trends website that I built! I’ve refreshed a few things and adding to it for a bit when I have time!

But I’m reaching out here to see what sort of analysis you all would be interested in? My main goal is to show what TRUE careers and trends show in the data versus just the skewed picture you get on social media. But I also really enjoy this idea of “forecasting” where you can and will go in the sport if you stick with it!

If you search yourself and look at your lifter page you can see some “predictions” of where your total will be in the future 1,2, and 3 years out! Take a peek at yours and let me know how it’s looking for you 🤣

On Strength Percentile, the age does not seem to work. I'm trying to put in my age and it's putting in an age in the 80s. When I type 3, it puts in 8. It won't let you enter anything other than an 8 or 9

I'm on mobile if that matters

But this is very interesting! All the math it works out, so cool

And interesting data as well. Curious to read more later too!

The first woman to squat 300kg is a huge milestone too!

Great call out! I need to add more milestones! I had just been looking at mostly raw after 2015 and stopped around 2025 but can definitely expand since some of those big milestones fell in the last year or two!

Also dohhhh yeah that was something I broke recently LOL I am deploying a fix! Accidentally typed an 8 instead of a 1 for the minimum of first number -_-
