Leg Press (45° Sled) vs Landmine Deadlift Strength Standards

Leg Press vs Landmine Deadlift Strength Standards

Use these tables to compare the estimated one-rep max required for the 45-degree leg press and landmine deadlift to reach the same strength level at each listed bodyweight. The numbers are calculator targets, not a required gap between the two lifts.

Choose the men’s or women’s table, find the closest bodyweight row, and read across to Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, or Elite. Each entry shows Leg Press / Landmine Deadlift, with pounds above kilograms. Use the calculator for your exact bodyweight and recent sets.

Men’s Leg Press vs Landmine Deadlift Standards

How to read the table: Find the closest bodyweight, then use the labeled exercise row. Every strength-level entry shows one target with pounds first and kilograms beneath it.

Women’s Leg Press vs Landmine Deadlift Standards

How to read the table: Find the closest bodyweight, then use the labeled exercise row. Every strength-level entry shows one target with pounds first and kilograms beneath it.

How Your Leg Press vs Landmine Deadlift Result Is Calculated

Both lifts are scored independently first: estimated max, bodyweight-adjusted strength level, and progress toward the next level. Those ratings drive the comparison.

1. Estimate a one-rep max from each set

A one-rep set uses the entered weight. For 2–12 reps, both formulas are calculated and the lower estimate is retained.

• Epley: weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30)
• Brzycki: weight × 36 ÷ (37 − reps)

Use recent Leg Press and Landmine Deadlift sets with consistent technique and full intended range of motion. Difficult lower-rep sets generally make the estimated max less dependent on extrapolation.

2. Find the 45-degree leg press strength level

The leg press standards use the sex-specific standards from the individual Leg Press 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 landmine deadlift strength level

The landmine deadlift rating uses its sex-specific exercise standards. Reference targets at 190 lb for men and 150 lb for women are scaled to the entered bodyweight by reference target × (user bodyweight ÷ reference bodyweight) to the two-thirds power.

Two-thirds scaling raises the target as bodyweight rises while limiting the size advantage that a direct one-to-one adjustment would create.

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.

How Men’s Leg Press and Landmine Deadlift Standards Differ

How to read this chart: Choose a strength level and follow its line across bodyweight. Values show the Landmine Deadlift standard minus the Leg Press standard: zero means equal, above zero means the Landmine Deadlift standard is higher, and below zero means the Leg Press standard is higher. Swipe horizontally on mobile. Use the standards table for exact lb/kg targets.

Leg Press and Landmine Deadlift Exercises Used by This Calculator

For a useful comparison, perform a strict 45-degree leg press and a strict landmine deadlift using the setup and load rules below. Use strict, repeatable Leg Press and Landmine Deadlift 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 a 45-degree plate-loaded sled leg press

Keep both feet flat and approximately shoulder-width, descend until the thighs reach at least parallel to the platform without lifting the hips or rounding the lower back, and press to controlled full knee extension. Do not enter a horizontal, vertical, selectorized, single-leg, high-foot, partial, bounced, or assisted press.

Use the Landmine Deadlift setup and load convention

The total loaded free-end landmine weight used for the set. Strict free-end landmine deadlift reps. Pull the loaded free end of the anchored bar from the accepted bottom position to full standing control, keeping the angled bar path stable and avoiding bounced, hitched, rowed, or raised-block substitutions. Consistent setup, range, and finish quality across the entered set. No substituted exercise or assisted reps.

Enter one recent Leg Press result and one recent Landmine Deadlift result

First lift: total plates loaded on the 45-degree sled and 1–12 strict reps. Second lift: weight used and 1–12 strict reps. Pounds or kilograms.
