Link above takes you to a lifting calculator provided by the Queensland Weightlifting Association that calculates what your other lifts "should be" based off one input. For example, if I input that my back squat is at 190 lbs (~86 kg), the calculator estimates the following:
Back Squat = 190 lbs (~86 kg)
...then...
Snatch = 117 lbs (~53 kg)
Power Snatch = 96 lbs (~43 kg)
Clean & Jerk = 147 lbs (~66 kg)
Power Clean = 120 lbs (~54 kg)
Front Squat = 164 lbs (~74 kg)
This information can help gauge the progress of an athlete and can reveal weaknesses in both training and technique. See "Shut Up and Lift" Volume #23 (a newsletter published by Waxman's Gym) for more information about what a shortfall in projected lifts could mean (symptoms and prescribed training fixes).
