How strong am I for my bodyweight?

    Type your bodyweight and best lifts in pounds. You get a percentile and a level for each lift, your strongest and weakest lift, and your total — compared with 541,164 raw competitors from OpenPowerlifting in your exact weight class.

    Enter your bodyweight in pounds, then any of your best lifts.

    Don't know your max? Estimate it from a set

    Enter a recent set of 1 to 12 reps. We estimate your one-rep max (Epley formula), then use it in the calculator above. Estimates get less precise above 8 reps.

    Why use a strength calculator built on meet results?

    Real lifts, not surveys

    Most strength charts mix self-reported gym numbers. Every number here was judged on a powerlifting platform, so the comparison is honest.

    Your weight class only

    A 300 lb squat means something very different at 132 lbs and at 242 lbs. You are only compared with lifters of your sex and weight class.

    A clear next goal

    Instead of a vague label, you see the exact weight needed to reach the next level on each lift, so you can plan your next training block.

    How to read your results

    • Percentile: the share of competitors in your class who lift less than you. 70th = stronger than 7 out of 10.
    • Weakest lift: usually your fastest way to raise your total. A big gap between lifts often points to a technique or programming issue.
    • Use honest maxes: enter lifts done with full depth, a pause on bench and lockout on deadlift. Gym-style reps inflate results.
    • Retest every 8–12 weeks: percentiles move slowly; tracking them over months shows real progress.

    Median competitive total by weight class

    What the typical (50th percentile) raw competitor lifts in each class. Heavier classes lift more in absolute terms, which is why you should only compare yourself within your class.

    How the percentile is calculated

    Your bodyweight places you in an IPF weight class. For each lift, we compare your number with the 20th, 50th, 75th and 90th percentile and the all-time best raw lift in that class, and interpolate between them. 50th means half of competitors lift less.

    Why the numbers feel demanding

    Everyone in the data stepped on a platform, so they train more seriously than the average gym member. Landing near the competitive median is already a strong result. Want a goal per lift? Open your class page below.

    What each strength level means

    LevelPercentile among competitorsWhat it usually looks like
    BeginnerBelow 20thFirst months of structured training, or first meet.
    Novice20th–50thConsistent training, technique settling, steady linear gains.
    Intermediate50th–75thAbove the median competitor in your class; progress needs planned blocks.
    Advanced75th–90thYears of focused training; competitive at regional meets.
    Elite90th and aboveTop 10% of raw competitors in your weight class.

    Data source and methodology

    • Source: OpenPowerlifting public meet results (ODbL), raw (unequipped) entries only.
    • Each lifter is grouped in an IPF weight class by sex; lifts are each competitor's best successful attempt.
    • The data is refreshed monthly, so percentiles follow the current competitive field.
    • Inputs are converted from pounds to kilograms (1 kg = 2.20462 lbs) before comparison.
    • Percentiles are estimated by linear interpolation between known quantiles, so they are approximate, especially in small classes.
