Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold Strength Standards Calculator

Understanding Your Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold Strength Score

Your Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold score is the shorter valid hold time from the two sides. Test both sides and enter the shorter valid hold: if one side lasts 45 seconds and the other lasts 38, the score is 38 seconds. The calculator compares that result with the standards for the sex, age range, and bodyweight you select.

The score is useful only when every attempt follows the same movement standard. Begin the attempt from this position: lie supine on the floor with one working foot planted, the non-working leg held off the floor in a consistent position, arms passive, trunk braced, pelvis level, and hips lifted to a controlled bridge top before timing starts. Maintain the single-leg bridge top with hips extended, pelvis controlled, the working foot planted, non-working leg off the floor, no hand pushing, and no external support.

Count the result this way: count continuous seconds on each side from valid start to first invalid position or voluntary stop; enter the weaker-side time only and do not aggregate multiple attempts or both sides. The attempt ends when the athlete stops, hips sag below the standard, pelvis twists, non-working foot touches down, working foot moves, hands assist, the setup changes, or outside assistance occurs. Keep retests comparable by using the same foot position, non-working leg position, floor surface, arm position, side order, rest between sides, footwear or barefoot convention, and hip-height standard.

Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold Strength Standards

These are Endura’s standards for comparing consistent Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold attempts. They are exercise-specific practical benchmarks, not population averages.

How Endura set these standards: The approved Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold model defines Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite valid hold-time benchmarks for men and women in five age groups. Each exact threshold and tier boundary is checked against the calculator before publication.

The tables organize Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold standards by sex and age. Compare your valid hold time with the Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite columns. A result below the Novice threshold is classified as Beginner.

Men — Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold Standards

Women — Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold Standards

For example, men age 20-29 reach Intermediate at 40 sec, Advanced at 1:10, and Elite at 1:50. Women age 40-49 reach those same levels at 40 sec, 1:10, and 1:45. These examples come directly from the table values above.

Use the calculator to apply your exact inputs, place your result in the correct level, and see the next target without doing the table lookup yourself.

How the Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold Calculator Works

The calculator uses your sex, age group, bodyweight, and the shorter valid hold time from the two sides. Test both sides and enter the shorter valid hold. It compares that score with the exercise-specific Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite thresholds. Because higher is stronger for this test, more valid seconds can move the result to a higher level.

The result shows your standards level, entered score, the sex and age group used, and your next target. An exact threshold counts as the higher level. Using the men’s age 20-29 reference row, 40 valid seconds on the shorter side is Intermediate and Advanced begins at 70 valid seconds on the shorter side (1:10), making the next target 30 additional valid seconds. The calculator handles the tier lookup and target math automatically.

The calculator cannot inspect your attempt. It assumes the number entered follows the Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold Testing Rules. If the attempt became invalid before you stopped, enter the shorter valid time reached before either side first broke the required position.

Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold Testing Rules

Test one continuous hold on each side and record the shorter valid time. The calculator compares the number you enter with the Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold standards, but it cannot verify how the attempt was performed. Use the exercise-specific requirements below before entering a score.

Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold Testing Checklist

What Counts and What Does Not Count

Enter only the exact Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold test described in the checklist. The examples below separate that test from common substitutions that use different loading, assistance, range, position, equipment, or counting rules.

When a call is borderline, use the shorter time reached before either side first broke the required position. That keeps Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold results useful for comparison over time. Apply the same checklist every time you retest.

Elite Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold Strength Levels

Elite begins when your shorter valid hold time from the two sides meets or exceeds the Elite threshold for the applicable sex and age group. Because the tier boundary is lower-inclusive, a score exactly equal to the threshold counts as Elite. The table shows every public Elite starting point for Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold.

An Elite result still has to follow the same Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold Testing Rules; if the attempt became invalid earlier, use the shorter valid time reached before either side first broke the required position. After Elite, the calculator can show a separate hold-time stretch target when one is available, but that target does not replace or redefine the Elite threshold.

Milestones and Next Targets

Your next Single Leg Glute Bridge Hold target is the first strength-level threshold above your current valid hold time. The calculator uses your selected sex, age group, bodyweight, and the weaker side’s valid hold time, subtracts your result from that threshold, and shows the exact additional valid seconds needed.

The table shows the complete jumps between level starting points for the age 20–29 reference group; your personal gap may be smaller because it begins from your current result rather than the previous level’s minimum.
