Deadlift Percentiles — 76 kg Raw Women
The 76 kg class covers women weighing 69–76 kg (152–168 lb). These percentiles are computed from 80,447 raw (belt, sleeves, and wrist wraps only — no knee wraps, no supportive suits or shirts) competition results in the OpenPowerlifting database. Remember that everyone in this dataset trained hard enough to enter a meet, so the 20th percentile here is already well above the average gym-goer.
| Percentile | Lbs | Kg | Band |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5th percentile | 204 lb | 92.5 kg | Novice |
| 10th percentile | 226 lb | 102.5 kg | Novice |
| 20th percentile | 254 lb | 115 kg | Intermediate |
| 30th percentile | 270 lb | 122.5 kg | Intermediate |
| 40th percentile | 287 lb | 130 kg | Intermediate |
| 50th percentile | 305 lb | 138.3 kg | Advanced |
| 60th percentile | 320 lb | 145 kg | Advanced |
| 70th percentile | 336 lb | 152.5 kg | Advanced |
| 80th percentile | 358 lb | 162.5 kg | Elite |
| 85th percentile | 375 lb | 170 kg | Elite |
| 90th percentile | 391 lb | 177.5 kg | Elite |
| 95th percentile | 419 lb | 190 kg | World Class |
| 97.5th percentile | 441 lb | 200 kg | World Class |
| 99th percentile | 463 lb | 210 kg | World Class |
Novice = below the 20th percentile of competitors. Intermediate = 20th–50th. Advanced = 50th–80th. Elite = 80th–95th. World Class = top 5%. Percentiles are calculated on the best deadlift from each meet entry, so a lifter with ten meets appears ten times; this weights the data toward experienced competitors.
How to Improve Your Deadlift
Deadlift tolerates less frequency than the other lifts — one heavy pull per week plus one lighter variation day is enough for most lifters. Weak off the floor means more leg drive: deficit pulls, paused deadlifts below the knee, and front squats. Weak at lockout means glutes and upper back: block pulls, Romanian deadlifts, and rows. Grip failing before the back does is common past the 400/500 lb range; switch to mixed or hook grip and train it. See the accessory selection guide and the program generator.
