Strength Level Calculator

Assess your clients' strength level in the main barbell lifts against population standards. Classify performance from beginner to elite and spot imbalances between muscle groups.

Enter each exercise's 1RM (one-rep max). At least one is required.

Strength Level Standards (Men)

Ratio = 1RM / body weight. For example, 1.5x means lifting 1.5 times your body weight.
