  A couple points I noticed toying with it --

  Using the back button seems to keep trying to resubmit the form and break the page for me.

  Also, you could remove the last result when an item is deleted from the page. It was displaying a record I had deleted because it was also the last submitted.

  Really like the concept. I've always been a fan of doing core lifts like this and generally just keep it all in a notepad I jot on after I leave the gym.

  A very good website, as a fellow interested in bodybuilding and powerlifting, I liked it a lot.

  Can I ask you if you gave any thought monetizing it? If yes, what is it?

  So, strstd.com has been around for a while. The standards themselves seem to be the same, and I generally assume that those come from http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards...., although I guess that may not be the case.

  What is the source of these numbers? I did not see any age associated with it. I compared my lifts and I was way below the untrained numbers you put up.
