"You lift like" is the founder whose numbers are closest to yours on the lifts you both have. It compares absolute weight, not weight relative to bodyweight. Founder bodyweight is shown where they posted it.

When a founder posted a set with more than one rep, it's converted to an estimated one-rep max with the Epley formula.
