My strength ability calculator can be used for more than gauging strength in compound exercises. An athlete with a strength level over intermediate (3) in every compound exercise will have an impressive physique. To have a balanced physique the levels should not vary — there should be no weak points. Put additional effort on ironing out these problem areas.
I want to be advanced (4) in every exercise by losing body fat and improving technique. My abilities range from novice-intermediate squat to advanced clean-and-press. To be an advanced weightlifter overall at 90kg I should lift:
| Exercise | Target 1RM /kg |
|---|---|
| Clean and press | 77 |
| Bench press | 122 |
| Power clean | 114 |
| Deadlift | 192 |
| Squat | 167 |
