No.
Double bodyweight is the lower end of 'good'.

how many reps/sets and for how long you been training?

No..most lads should be able to rep it without training it.
I likely would have been able to. I started off lifting 40kg adding 10kg each time. Wanted to work on my technique rather than dive right in with a three figure kg barbell just to say I can do 'what most "lads" can do'. I simply wanted to know what a good weight is, which is x2 body weight or more from the poster above
If it is more than you could lift when you started then yes. What other people can lift doesn't matter. What is "good" is forward progression.

I remember when I first started deadlifting and only did 50kg

just whack on the 20's, at least that is from the proper height and add 10kg from there. It is what I did as well. \but 100kg was easy when I got to it...only got difficult at 160kg+...I have had friends do deadlift for first time and they rep out 100kg no problem....My one friend deadlifted for first time and did 130kg with awful technique.
100kg is decent but bear in mind you will never lift to your full potential as a newb. You are just not primed for it due to a variety of factors.
So build up and get comfortable with good, safe form. Then when you're confident, go for it and see what you can manage. Any relatively fit guy can deadlift well beyond their bodyweight, maybe even close to double, but the fact they are a newb is a limiting factor. Just challenge yourself every week, forget what others are lifting and you'll be surprised at the progress you make.

Meh I deadlifted more than that my first time but I'm a big guy. The point is that somebody's current lifts should - excepting the exceptional - be measured against their starting point and not against a broad standard because the latter simply isn't useful for most people.

No. I weighed about 55kg and the first time i did it then, i lifted 80....
I suppose you had the physical awareness to keep your lower back locked on your first time?

Why not?
Keeping the correct form is crucial, even if it's only 80. Plus the fact that my brother is a functional training coach so...
I guess people are good at different things though. I can remember my max bench was 30 the first time i did it, and my squat wasn't much better.

I meant that you started relatively high and as it was your first time, you wouldn't have had the motor control or body awareness to control your lower back. Of course, if you did a lot of form work with lower weights after seeing how much you could get up, I take it back.
