Exactly this. When I was in my best shape my deadlift and squat were in/on the way to 2.5-3x my body weight. You don’t want to fail that without a lot of help and safeties.

Note for the uninitiated: That figure is not even impressive or competitive with competition lifters. This is just “guy who put in the time and work” numbers.

Look up lifts and weight multiples and a 3x weight deadlift is advanced to elite.

Don’t sell yourself short though. Those are very respectable numbers ahead of the vast majority of the population.
