What are strength standards?

Strength standards are benchmarks used to compare an individual's lifts (squat, bench press, deadlift) to average performance levels based on weight, gender, and experience.

How does the Strength Standards Calculator work?

The calculator compares your squat, bench press, and deadlift against established strength standards for your body weight and experience level, helping you gauge progress.

Why are strength standards important?

Strength standards help lifters set realistic goals, track progress, and determine whether their lifts are considered beginner, intermediate, advanced, or elite.

Are strength standards different for men and women?

Yes, strength standards vary based on gender due to differences in muscle mass and body composition. Our calculator adjusts based on your input.
