The Strength Level Calculator is an interesting attempt to form a continuous distribution that represents the majority of individuals on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being untrained and 5 elite.
My central idea is that as your bodyweight affects your health, your strength level should be consistently high across all the main compound exercises. For a normal body type, a strength level of three indicates that you are strong and athletic. If the levels vary across the exercises it is a bad indicator: young lifters often overdevelop their chests without thought to their back or legs.
