Relative Strength Calculator

Calculate your relative strength as lifted weight divided by body weight. Use a measured 1RM or estimate it from 2–10 repetitions.

Lifted-weight ratio: 1.25×

Measured 1RM: 100 kg

1RM / body weight: 1.25×

Compare the same exercise and technique. Use a set close to failure when estimating 1RM.

1RM = Lifted weight · Lifted-weight ratio = Lifted weight ÷ Body weight

STEP BY STEP

How to use relative strength calculator

  1. Read the lifted-weight ratio and the estimated maximum ratio.
  2. Compare only the same exercise, technique and range of motion.

WHEN IT HELPS

Common uses

  • Track the same lift as your body weight changes.
  • Express a measured maximum as a multiple of body weight.

IN PRACTICE

Example

A 100 kg single at 80 kg body weight gives 1.25× body weight. A 100 kg set of 5 reps estimates a 116.67 kg 1RM and a 1.46× ratio.

GOOD TO KNOW

Does this ratio rank my strength?

Relative strength = load ÷ body weight. Estimated 1RM = load × (1 + reps ÷ 30) for 2–10 reps. Estimates assume a set close to failure. The simple ratio is not a competition score or a universal strength ranking.
