Do/Don't - Weightlifting Stats in CV

Strength training is my biggest hobby and I’d definitely engage with candidates that list it on their resume. That said, if somebody listed a 290 bench and 440 squat, I’d think they’re on the spectrum.

I think it's fine to include but the weights are just too low to be worthwhile IMO. No offense.
 

I'm assuming your deadlift is higher than your squat. Just put "1000 pound club" maybe?

You can put a line that you competitively weight lift or power lift but those are rookie numbers, you need to pump those numbers up

Tism 🚨 

Do it. Most people will think you’re crazy for putting those out but can’t hurt and a few people will love the originality 

You probably shouldn't include the stats unless you weigh like 75kgs. You're very strong compared to 99% of people, but the 1% of people that care might not be terribly impressed. I like the 1,000 pound club or just putting powerlifting or strength training as an interest. 

If you don't have high lifting stats including them not advised. Think about it like GPA - nobody gives a fuck about your low #s and they can only hurt your first impression, the only point in including it is if you're a cut above most. 

Depends what Elo are you??

Why would anyone brag about benching 285, much less put it on their resume? 

If I saw that, I'd have respect for you. But unfortunately 99% of finance dudes are pencil necks who are jealous of people who have the discipline to take care of themselves, not just sit behind  adesk and take zyns

As others have said, numbers aren't impressive enough to include. I would just put Powerlifting under interests. Im sitting at 280 / 425 / 500. I wouldn't include numbers unless I was around >350 / >500 / >600
