> To pass the deadlift event with 60 points, women 17 to 21 years old previously had to deadlift 120 pounds, but under the new standard, they would have to lift 140 pounds.
Maybe my powerlifting background is coloring my thought process but this doesn't seem crazy to me? Assuming a small ~100lb woman that's 1.4x bodyweight and that's the extreme end. I imagine for most it's closer to 1x.
I have no military and definitely no combat background so in this area I don't feel like I have the context to form much of an opinion.
