Chest-Supported Cable Row Strength Standards Calculator

Compare your Chest-Supported Cable Row strength with Endura's strength standards for men and women at your bodyweight. A useful benchmark for a good one-rep max is our Intermediate standard: approximately 100 lb at 190 lb for a man and 72 lb at 150 lb for a woman.

How does your best lift compare? Enter your bodyweight, the inline-measured resistance at the attachment, not the printed stack weight, and the reps you completed below. The calculator estimates your one-rep max and shows your strength level for your bodyweight. Count 1–10 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range.

The calculator compares that estimated one-rep max with the Chest-Supported Cable Row standards for your sex at your bodyweight. Use the result to compare sets performed with the same equipment and movement rules. The benchmark is a comparison target, not a working-set prescription.

What Is a Good Weight for Chest-Supported Cable Row?

A useful Endura benchmark for Chest-Supported Cable Row is the Intermediate level. At the reference bodyweights used by this model, Intermediate begins around 100 lb for a 190 lb man and 72 lb for a 150 lb woman. These are estimated one-rep-max comparison targets, not universal starting weights or measured population averages.

Enter the inline-measured resistance at the attachment, not the printed stack weight. Follow the measurement position described below. Keep the same convention when comparing sets. Count 1–10 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range. Enter your bodyweight, exact exercise weight, and valid reps to see how your set compares with the bodyweight-adjusted standards and the next target.

Your Chest-Supported Cable Row result compares your estimated one-rep max with strength targets adjusted for your sex and exact bodyweight. The result is still specific to Chest-Supported Cable Row; it should not be treated as a rating for a nearby exercise.

A heavier lifter receives higher target weights, but those targets do not rise pound-for-pound with bodyweight. This is why the calculator uses your exact bodyweight instead of assigning every lifter’s tier from one fixed bodyweight ratio.

Set a rigid bench back pad at 45 degrees facing one floor-level cable. Lie prone with sternum through xiphoid continuously supported and feet planted symmetrically. Use a rigid neutral parallel-grip handle with hand centers 40 cm plus or minus 2 cm. Inline-measure working resistance at full reach; enter that measured attachment resistance, not stack mass. Begin with elbows fully extended and shoulders protracted under control. Row simultaneously until the handle contacts the underside of the bench/lower-sternum line, keeping elbows within 30 degrees of torso. Return under control to full extension without lifting, sliding, or rebounding the chest. Chalk and wrist wraps allowed; straps/hooks and assistance prohibited.

Chest-Supported Cable Row Strength Standards

Use the men’s or women’s table and find the row closest to your bodyweight for a quick reference. For an exact result, enter your bodyweight, weight lifted, and reps into the calculator. It will estimate your one-rep max, identify your strength level, and show the next target to pursue.

Enter the inline-measured resistance at the attachment, not the printed stack weight. Follow the measurement position described below. Count 1–10 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range.

Endura built these standards from reviewed Chest-Supported Cable Row targets and adjusts them for different bodyweights. They are practical benchmarks for this exact test—not population averages or standards for Lat Pulldown.

How the Chest-Supported Cable Row Calculator Works

Enter your sex, bodyweight, weight lifted, and reps. The calculator estimates your one-rep max from the set, then compares that estimate with the Chest-Supported Cable Row targets for your exact bodyweight. A one-rep entry uses the entered weight directly.

The bodyweight adjustment starts with reviewed targets for a 190 lb man and a 150 lb woman. For example, the men’s Advanced target is 116 lb at 150 lb bodyweight, 136 lb at 190 lb, and 154 lb at 230 lb. That is why the calculator needs your exact bodyweight instead of using one fixed bodyweight ratio for everyone.

Elite Chest-Supported Cable Row Strength Levels

Elite Chest-Supported Cable Row strength means reaching the Elite target for your sex and exact bodyweight while following the calculator’s accepted testing rules. The target increases as bodyweight increases, but not pound-for-pound, so use the calculator for your exact Elite and Stretch targets.

Chest-Supported Cable Row Elite and Stretch Reference Targets
Sex	Bodyweight	Elite begins	Stretch begins
Men	150 lb	147 lb	178 lb
Men	190 lb	172 lb	208 lb
Men	230 lb	195 lb	236 lb
Women	120 lb	98 lb	117 lb
Women	150 lb	114 lb	136 lb
Women	180 lb	129 lb	154 lb

Chest-Supported Cable Row Strength Compared to Other Lifts

Use these comparisons to see how your Chest-Supported Cable Row strength carries over when the implement, starting position, or finish changes. Test each movement under its own rules so every result reflects the exercise you actually performed.

Compare the strength levels each calculator gives you instead of assuming the same weight means the same thing in different exercises. A meaningful gap can point you toward the part of the movement worth working on next.

Milestones in Chest-Supported Cable Row Strength

Your next Chest-Supported Cable Row milestone is the next strength level above your current result. Enter your sex, bodyweight, measured attachment resistance, and 1–10 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range to see exactly how much estimated one-rep-max strength separates you from that level.

Use that gap as a concrete training target. Because your score is based on estimated one-rep-max strength, you can close it by using more weight with the same strict movement, completing more controlled reps with the same setup, or improving both. Recalculate after a strong set to see whether you reached the next level and, if not, exactly how much remains.

Chest-Supported Cable Row Reference Milestone Jumps
Group	Reference bodyweight	Novice to Intermediate	Intermediate to Advanced	Advanced to Elite	Elite to Stretch
Men	190 lb	+27 lb	+36 lb	+36 lb	+36 lb
Women	150 lb	+22 lb	+21 lb	+21 lb	+22 lb
