It's noteworthy that the range with the highest numbers is about where it ought to be 250-350lbs. Even allowing for BS and guys getting a LOT of help with spotting 300lbs is at the high end of what most ought to aim and just about be capable of.
I've a few books from the 195o's and after and the numbers they suggested were always 200 press, 300 bench, 400 squat and a 500 deadlift.
