I downloaded this PDF from the Crossfit web site. It's a chart of strength standards for the press, squat, bench press, deadlift and power clean based on gender and body weight.

Here's the link: http://www.crossfit.com/cf-journal/WLSTANDARDS.pdf

Even if you don't like the Crossfit workout or their methods there's still tons of resources over there: http://www.crossfit.com

According to the chart I'm pretty much a novice at these lifts. I'd be pretty happy with being Intermediate for most. The advanced levels are some pretty serious numbers. And the Elite is mutant levels. Check it out, where do you fall?

I'm advanced in the squat and high intermediate in everything else except the clean.

We all have something that we're good at and apparently being an advanced female is your thing. Go with it.
