- What is 1RM?
- 1RM (One Rep Max) is the maximum weight you can lift for a single repetition. It is estimated using the Epley, Brzycki, and NSCA formulas based on the weight and reps you performed.
- What SBD total is considered intermediate?
- It varies by body weight, but generally a total of 4–5 times your body weight is considered intermediate. For example, at 80 kg body weight, an SBD total of 320–400 kg would be intermediate level.
- What is a Wilks score?
- The Wilks score is a coefficient used to fairly compare lifters of different body weights. A score above 300 is considered intermediate, and above 400 is advanced.
- How are strength levels categorized?
- Levels are based on the ratio of your total to body weight: Beginner → Novice → Intermediate → Advanced → Elite, across 5 tiers.
- How do I use the total-to-bodyweight ratio?
- The ratio of your SBD total to body weight is an objective measure of relative strength. The higher the ratio, the greater your relative strength.
