Start with the calculator that matches your strongman event: an axle or log lift, a keg or sandbag event, a stone or tire event, a loaded carry, or a specialty deadlift, press, or squat.
The tools in this collection keep each implement and event separate. Use strength standards to compare a completed performance, and check the loading, distance, hold time, height, and technique instructions before comparing your result with another exercise.

Open calculatorHow to compare strongman exercise strength correctly
Strongman results are highly specific to the implement, loading method, distance, range of motion, and event standard. Use the exact calculator whenever possible and treat cross-event comparisons as context rather than a fixed conversion.
Match the implement
An axle, log, keg, sandbag, stone, frame, or yoke changes the grip, balance, range of motion, and leverage. Use the page for the implement you lifted or carried.
Check how weight is counted
Some events use total implement weight, while others distinguish each hand, added resistance, bodyweight, or the weight entered for a hold or carry.
Separate lifts from carries and holds
A deadlift, press, carry, hold, load, and over-shoulder event tests different qualities. Do not compare their raw weights as if they were one lift.
Keep event rules consistent
Distance, time, lockout, clean technique, height, tacky, straps, and implement setup can all change a result. Follow the instructions on the matching calculator.
Use comparisons as context
A comparison can show how two event results rank against their own standards. It does not create a universal exchange rate between strongman exercises.
