Assess your level: strength, rowing, calisthenics, running

Enter a single metric of your choice (SBD total, 2K Concept2 row time, max strict pull-ups or MAS), and get your level among 5 tiers: beginner, intermediate, advanced, elite, world class, with an estimated percentile.

Thresholds come from sport science literature and public databases (Strength Level, Concept2 Logbook, ACSM, Léger). Distinguishes male/female for relevance.

The 4 evaluated categories

Strength / Powerlifting

SBD total (Squat + Bench Press + Deadlift) in kg. Standard powerlifting reference.

Rowing conditioning

Time over 2,000 m Concept2. Reference test in CrossFit, HYROX and athletic prep.

Calisthenics

Max strict pull-ups in a row without dropping. Base bodyweight test.

Running

Maximal Aerobic Speed (MAS / VMA) in km/h. Central indicator for running and aerobic conditioning. If you don't know it, compute it via the VMA calculator.

The 5 levels

• Beginner (percentile 0-40): starting or coming back.
• Intermediate (40-70): solid base, regular progress.
• Advanced (70-90): mastery, rigorous programming, weaknesses worked.
• Elite (90-98): regional or national competition level.
• World class (98+): top of your category.

Threshold accuracy

Thresholds are indicative, calibrated for healthy adults 18-50. Variation by age, weight, experience. For finer powerlifting comparisons (weight class), use the Wilks/DOTS/IPF GL calculator.

FAQ

Why male/female distinction?

Thresholds differ significantly (avg height, muscle mass, hormones). Distinction enables statistically relevant comparison.

Can my level vary by category?

Yes, and that's normal. You can be advanced in strength and beginner in running. The point of the multi-category test: spot strengths and growth axes.

How to progress one level?

Beginner to intermediate: 6-12 months of regular training. Intermediate to advanced: 2-4 years. Beyond: focused specialization. Find a matching coach on the marketplace.
