Formula
The multiple is the lift divided by body weight:
Multiple = lift kg / body kg
Bands are under 1×, 1× to 1.5×, 1.5× to 2×, and 2× or more. They are labels for that ratio, not a published strength classification.
Assumptions
- Both numbers are kilograms.
- The lift is one completed load, not a one-rep-max estimate.
Worked example
A 100 kg lift at 80 kg body weight is a multiple of 1.25.
Input definitions
- Lift
- The load you completed.
- Body weight
- Your body weight the same day, in kilograms.
Limitations
A ratio is not a ranking. The one-rep-max page estimates a single from reps. The Wilks page scales a powerlifting total.
Questions
Is this a strength sport class?
No. It only reports how many times body weight the lift represents.
Should I use a predicted max?
Only if you type that number in. This page does not run the Epley formula.
