Turns out that America’s strongest state is Texas.

At least that’s what is shown by the data below, compiled based on the last five years of powerlifting data.

Use the map below to compare your own lifts against the average squat, bench press, and deadlift for each state’s best lifters.

If some of these feats some hard to believe, we’ve got video proof below. After all, #novidnodid. 😉

Methodology

  • All data is sourced from Open Powerlifting
  • Data is from 2016-2020, accessed January 6, 2021
  • Lifters must meet the following criteria to be eligible for their state
    • Drug tested = true
    • Equipment = raw
    • Age = 18 or older
    • Event = SBD (full power)
  • Each lifter’s best full power meet performance is ranked within the state they represented at the time of the competition. This way, the same lifter cannot count more than once toward a given state’s average.
    • However, it is possible for the same lifter to appear twice on the list, but only if they moved between 2016 and 2020 and re-registered with their federation under a different state.
  • The top 10 totals by wilks were used to calculate each state’s averages. Including Washington DC and Guam, this resulted in a total of 513 lifting performances (Guam only had 3 performances in the time period that met the above criteria).
    • This was done to compare each state’s best lifters against each other. Including all lifters in this type of calculation would “water down” the averages of states where powerlifting is more popular and there are more low-level lifters.
