Strength standards for every lift

Pick a lift above and put in your best set and your bodyweight. The calculator scores it against standards for your sex and size and gives you a rank from Iron to Radiant, plus the share of people you beat.

Among men who lift, the middle of the pack at 180 lb can bench about 221 lb, squat about 292 lb, deadlift about 348 lb for one rep: the intermediate standards, and Gold II in Evident. Counting men who don’t train, Evident’s estimate for the middle 180 lb guy’s bench is about 157 lb.

Evident’s estimate: about 18% of 180 lb guys can bench 225 lb for one rep, counting guys who don’t train. At 150 lb it is about 10%; at 210 lb, about 27%.

In Evident they hold steady until 35, then drop about 6% a decade, and never by more than a quarter. Put your age in the calculator and the standard adjusts.

Numbers that show how strong a lift is for your sex and bodyweight, from a first-timer to elite. Evident turns them into seven ranks, Iron to Radiant, so you can see where you stand and what comes next.

Silver covers novice lifters, Gold intermediate, Platinum advanced and Diamond elite. Radiant is past elite. Gold is the middle of the pack among people who lift.

Heavier lifters move more weight, but not in proportion to their size. The standards scale with bodyweight to the 0.8 power, so a 220 lb lifter needs about 17% more than a 180 lb lifter for the same rank, not 22%.

Every lift is anchored to Strength Level’s published standards, built from millions of logged lifts, then scaled for your sex, bodyweight and age the way the Evident app scales them.
