Frequently asked questions

What does Strength Standards Calculator do?

Where your squat, bench, deadlift or press lands from untrained to elite for your bodyweight.

When would I actually use this?

Programming a block: estimating a one-rep max without testing it, setting working loads as a percentage of it, and tracking whether volume is actually going up.

What is the most common mistake?

Estimating a one-rep max from a high-repetition set. The formulas hold to about five reps; beyond ten they drift badly, because endurance starts to dominate strength.

How is Strength Standards Calculator different from Lean Body Mass to Strength Calculator?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Lean Body Mass to Strength Calculator is the one to open when you need it to predict your squat, bench and deadlift from lean mass, and score how much of that potential you've realised. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Army Body Fat Calculator is the closest one after this: The US Army AR 600-9 tape method, with the pass/fail limit for your age band.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Bench Press Calculator and Body Recomposition Calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

The estimates use the published Epley and Brzycki equations, which the tool names. They were derived on trained lifters and describe a population, not your best day.

GuideStrength Standards: What Counts as Strong, in Multiples of BodyweightA 176 lb man benching 220 lb is intermediate, not strong. Here are the usual bodyweight multiples for bench, squat and deadlift, and why the labels mislead more often than they help.How-toHow to Train With Percentages of Your 1RMPercentage-based training scales every lift to your one-rep max. Learn the strength and hypertrophy zones and how to set your working weights.ExplainerVertical Jump to Power: What the Conversion AssumesTurning jump height into take-off velocity is exact physics. Turning it into watts is a regression fitted on somebody else's athletes — and the three common formulas disagree by thousands of watts on the same jump.ExplainerFFMI: The Number BMI Cannot Give YouBMI weighs you and divides by your height squared. It cannot tell muscle from fat, which is why lean athletes get classed overweight. FFMI removes the fat first — and inherits every error in the body-fat estimate it is built on.ComparisonOne-Rep Max Formulas Disagree, and the Disagreement Is the PointEpley, Brzycki, Lombardi, O'Conner and Wathan are five curves through the same data. They agree within a few pounds at low reps and disagree by a quarter at fifteen — which is exactly how you know when an estimate is worth having.How-toHow to Estimate Your One-Rep Max (1RM)Your one-rep max is the most you can lift once. Here's how to estimate it safely from a lighter set, how accurate it is, and how to train with it.
