Gender Matters: Men typically lift more than women due to higher muscle mass.

Body Weight: Your deadlift goal should be based on your body weight; aim for a multiple of it.

Beginner Goals: Male beginners should target lifting 1.25 times their body weight, while women should aim for 0.75 to 1 times.

Intermediate Lifters: Men should strive for 1.75 to 2 times their body weight; women should aim for 1.25 to 1.5 times.

Elite Standards: Elite male lifters can reach 3 times their body weight, and elite women can hit 2.5 times.

Age Consideration: Older lifters may have reduced goals due to natural muscle decline.
