Strength to Bodyweight FAQ

What is a strength to bodyweight ratio?
It is a lift divided by bodyweight, usually shown as a multiple such as 1.5x bodyweight. It helps compare strength across lifters of different sizes.
Which lifts does the bodyweight calculator support?
Trainnode supports the major squat, hinge, horizontal push, vertical push, horizontal pull, and vertical pull movements in the free calculator.
Are bodyweight standards exact?
No. They are useful coaching benchmarks. Technique, limb length, training age, sex, and exercise selection all affect the right target for an individual lifter.
