Would someone mind giving me a baseline of what common gym lifts should be for a lightweight competitor.
For example, I see one contest that has deadlift for reps at 400 lbs. How many reps is the typical range for a smaller competition?
Shoulder press?
Thanks!

Like GQ said it can really depend on the competition and the level of talent.
Here is the thing though, don't wait until you feel you are "strong" enough to go compete or train. Go as soon as possible. Even if that means taking last in every event or getting a zero in an event. You will get much better simply through practice and competition.
At a decent comp the winner of a 400 dead for reps will get 10+ and sometimes as high as 15+. But don't worry about it. I made crazy progress in my first year competing. I went from a solid last place in my first contest to being a contender for the top three almost every time out.
Good luck man, let us know how it goes.
