Default Strength defined as .....

What for each of you is most likely to make you go "wow that dude is strong"?

Bench #, Squat #, Deadlift #, Clean and Press #, looking in general big, etc.

Though there are somewhat established criteria as to what strength goals are in relative terms of bodyweight (2x bodyweight on y exercise for example) Im just curious what individual takes are on this.

IMO Squat and Deadlift numbers are significant here relative to the size and weight of the person... I dont pay too much attention to bench likely because in high school our entire football squad generally could bench more than they could squat... ah proper training

Another topic would be what for you guys defines someone as in shape... physical performance, Bodyfat %, what else or in what combination?

I just think its interesting how some level of subjective evaluation enters into even pretty rigid criteria like the strength numbers game
