Barbell Floor Press vs Weighted Dips Strength Standards
Compare your barbell floor press and weighted dips against strength standards for your sex and bodyweight. Add a recent 1–12-rep result for each lift to compare estimated one-rep maxes, strength levels, next targets, and priority.
First lift: total barbell weight and 1–12 strict reps. Second lift: added external weight only and 1–12 strict reps. Pounds or kilograms. For the first exercise, lifter lies on the floor with legs extended or bent (no leg drive allowed). For the second exercise, start at full elbow lockout, descend until the shoulder crease is below the elbow, and return to full lockout under control. Each lift is compared with its own standards, so the heavier lift is not automatically the stronger one.
Barbell Floor Press vs Weighted Dips Strength Standards
These bodyweight tables place the barbell floor press and weighted dips targets side by side from Novice through Elite. Use them to compare standards, not to force a particular ratio between the lifts.
Find the closest row in the men’s or women’s table. Every target lists Barbell Floor Press / Weighted Dips, pounds first and kilograms second. Enter your own sets above for exact ratings without testing a true one-rep max.

How Your Barbell Floor Press vs Weighted Dips Result Is Calculated
Each set is converted to an estimated max before the calculator assigns exercise-specific strength levels and compares them.
1. Estimate a one-rep max from each set
When the set contains one rep, the entered load is the estimate. For 2–12 reps, the calculator keeps the less aggressive of the two formula results.
- Epley: weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30)
- Brzycki: weight × 36 ÷ (37 − reps)
For the most useful Barbell Floor Press vs Weighted Dips comparison, enter clean, difficult sets performed with the same technique and range of motion you use in training. Lower-rep sets usually require less extrapolation.
2. Find the barbell floor press strength level
The standards use the sex-specific barbell floor press thresholds from the individual tool. Targets begin at 190 lb for men and 150 lb for women, then adjust to exact bodyweight with reference target × (user bodyweight ÷ reference bodyweight) to the two-thirds power.
This adjustment expects larger lifters to move more weight, but it does not increase the target pound for pound with bodyweight.
3. Find the weighted dips strength level
The individual Weighted Dips calculator supplies one shared ladder based on estimated added external load divided by bodyweight. Novice begins at 0.35× bodyweight in added load, Intermediate at 0.55×, Advanced at 0.75×, and Elite at 1.00×. Bodyweight itself is not included in the entered or estimated load, and no unsupported stretch target is added above Elite.
4. Compare the two results
The lift with the lower Beginner-to-Elite rating is the priority. If both ratings match, the calculator requires a 10-point difference in next-level progress before naming a priority; otherwise it reports Balanced.
Treat the result as a training comparison rather than an explanation of why one lift trails. Set quality, fatigue, skill, and training exposure all matter. Age range is recorded anonymously but does not change these standards.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Estimate each max | Use the entered weight for 1 rep; for 2–12 reps, keep the lower formula result. |
| Rate the barbell floor press | Use total-barbell estimated max and adjust targets to exact bodyweight with the two-thirds rule. |
| Rate the weighted dip | Use the exercise-specific added-load-to-bodyweight thresholds directly without allometric rescaling. |
| Compare different levels | Name the lower-level lift as the priority. |
| Compare matching levels | Use Balanced unless the difference in progress toward the next level reaches 10 points. |
Use the calculator above to view both estimated maxes, strength levels, next targets, and the resulting priority or Balanced verdict.
How Men’s Barbell Floor Press and Weighted Dips Standards Differ
What the men’s data shows:
The standards come closest at 120 lb.
Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite at every displayed bodyweight.
33.6 → 26.3 kg from 120 to 300 lb bodyweight.
How to read this chart: Choose a strength level and follow its line across bodyweight. Values show the Weighted Dips standard minus the Barbell Floor Press standard: zero means equal, above zero means the Weighted Dips standard is higher, and below zero means the Barbell Floor Press standard is higher. Swipe horizontally on mobile. Use the standards table for exact lb/kg targets.

How Women’s Barbell Floor Press and Weighted Dips Standards Differ
What the women’s data shows:
The barbell floor press and weighted dips standards are within 3 lb at 190 lb, 200 lb, 210 lb, 220 lb, 230 lb, and 240 lb.
The higher target changes by strength level or bodyweight.
10.8 → 8.2 kg from 100 to 240 lb bodyweight.

Barbell Floor Press and Weighted Dips Exercises Used by This Calculator
Compare like-for-like attempts by keeping the barbell floor press and weighted dips setup consistent with their individual rules. Use strict, repeatable Barbell Floor Press and Weighted Dips tests that follow each exercise’s setup, range of motion, equipment, and load rules. Do not mix variations, assistance, partial range, momentum, or different load conventions.
Use the Barbell Floor Press setup and load convention
Barbell is unracked and held over the chest with arms extended. Lifter lies on the floor with legs extended or bent (no leg drive allowed). Bar is lowered under control until upper arms make full contact with the floor. Each rep must come to a dead stop on the floor (no bounce or touch-and-go). Bar is pressed to full lockout with elbows fully extended. Hips must remain in contact with the floor (no bridging). Consistent range of motion and pause must be used across all tests. Raw barbell lifting only. Bench press (full range of motion), touch-and-go floor press (no pause), bridging or hip drive, Smith machine press, dumbbell floor press, partial reps or shortened range of motion, and equipped lifting (bench shirts, etc.) are excluded. Estimated 1RM is calculated from the entered load and reps.
Enter added load only for strict parallel-bar dips
Secure the external load and enter only that added weight, not bodyweight plus load. Start at full elbow lockout, descend until the shoulder crease is below the elbow, and return to full lockout under control. Do not enter bodyweight-only, assisted, bench, ring, partial, bouncing, kipping, or leg-driven dips.
Enter one recent Barbell Floor Press result and one recent Weighted Dips result
First lift: total barbell weight and 1–12 strict reps. Second lift: added external weight only and 1–12 strict reps. Pounds or kilograms.
