| Lift | Untrained | Novice | Intermediate | Advanced | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bench Press | 0.7×BW | 1.0×BW | 1.2×BW | 1.5×BW | 2.0×BW |
| Squat | 1.0×BW | 1.2×BW | 1.5×BW | 1.8×BW | 2.2×BW |
| Deadlift | 1.5×BW | 1.8×BW | 2.0×BW | 2.5×BW | 3.0×BW |
| Overhead Press | 0.5×BW | 0.7×BW | 0.9×BW | 1.2×BW | 1.5×BW |

Target 1RM Helper
Find the 1RM needed to reach a target strength level.
How it Works
We calculate the ratio of your 1RM to body weight for each lift and map it to normative strength categories (Untrained to Elite). Percentile ranks and delusion scores (standard deviations from average) are derived from these categories. The overall score averages across lifts.
Delusion Score Formula: (Percentile − 50) / 10
- Positive score = above average strength
- Negative score = below average strength
- 0 = exactly average (50th percentile)
Example
Bench Press: 100 kg, Body Weight: 80 kg
- Ratio = 100 / 80 = 1.25
- Category: Intermediate (1.2×BW to 1.5×BW)
- Percentile: ~70th
- Delusion Score: (70 − 50) / 10 = +2.0 SD
Overall (5 lifts):
- Average Percentile: 72nd
- Average Delusion Score: +2.2 SD (above average)
Tips & Notes
- Strength standards vary by source and population. These are illustrative based on common references.
- Delusion Score helps you see how far you are from the average; positive = above average.
- Use the Target 1RM helper to set realistic goals based on your current body weight.
- Track your progress over time by saving/exporting your results.
