How it works

Ratio = weight lifted ÷ body weight

Relative strength compares your lift to your body weight, so lifters of different sizes can be measured fairly. A 1.0 ratio means lifting your own body weight.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good ratio?

It depends on the lift; bodyweight (1.0) on the squat or bench is a common milestone.

Why measure relative strength?

It levels the field across body sizes better than the raw weight lifted.
