Weighted Push-Ups (standard) vs Single Arm Cable Overhead Triceps Extension
Compare your weighted push-up and single arm cable overhead triceps extension against strength standards for your sex and bodyweight. Test each lift with 1–12 strict reps to see estimated one-rep maxes, strength levels, next targets, and priority.
First lift: added weight and 1–12 strict reps. Second lift: weight used and 1–12 strict reps. Pounds or kilograms. For the first exercise, keep a straight line from shoulders to heels, lower the sternum to roughly two to three inches from the floor. For the second exercise, reps are total valid reps across both arms combined, using the same strict overhead-triceps-extension standard on each side. Each lift is compared with its own standards, so the heavier lift is not automatically the stronger one.

How Your Weighted Push-Ups vs Single Arm Cable Overhead Triceps Extension 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
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 Weighted Push-Ups vs Single Arm Cable Overhead Triceps Extension 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 weighted push-up strength level
The individual weighted push-up tool supplies sex-specific standards for estimated added weight divided by bodyweight. Novice through Elite use the exercise-specific added-weight-to-bodyweight thresholds. No unsupported Stretch target is added above Elite.
3. Find the single arm cable overhead triceps extension strength level
For single arm cable overhead triceps extension, the individual exercise thresholds start from reference bodyweights of 190 lb for men and 150 lb for women. Exact-bodyweight targets use reference target × (user bodyweight ÷ reference bodyweight) to the two-thirds power.
The target rises more slowly than bodyweight so larger lifters are expected to lift more without requiring strength to increase pound for pound.
4. Compare the two results
Strength level decides the comparison first. Matching levels remain Balanced unless progress toward the next target differs by at least 10 points.
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 weighted push-up | Use the weighted push-up added-weight standards directly without changing their specialized bodyweight method. |
| Rate the single arm cable overhead triceps extension | Use the exercise-specific estimated max and adjust targets to exact bodyweight with the two-thirds scaling rule. |
| 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. |
The calculator above applies these steps to your exact entries and reports both lift ratings, both next targets, and the final comparison.
How Men’s Weighted Push-Ups and Single Arm Cable Overhead Triceps Extension Standards Differ
What the men’s data shows:
The standards come closest at 120 lb.
The higher target remains with Weighted Push-Ups for Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite throughout the table.
Across 120–300 lb bodyweight, the Elite gap changes from 13.1 to 45.4 kg.
How to read this chart: Choose a strength level and follow its line across bodyweight.

Weighted Push-Ups and Single Arm Cable Overhead Triceps Extension Exercises Used by This Calculator
Compare like-for-like attempts by keeping the weighted push-up and single arm cable overhead triceps extension setup consistent with their individual rules. Use strict, repeatable Weighted Push-Ups and Single Arm Cable Overhead Triceps Extension 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 strict weighted push-ups and enter added weight only
Keep a straight line from shoulders to heels, lower the sternum to roughly two to three inches from the floor, and finish every rep at full elbow lockout while the added weight stays fixed. Enter only the external load, not bodyweight plus load. Do not enter knee, incline, decline, bench, box, partial, kipping, rest-pause, sagging, or pike push-ups.
Use the Single Arm Cable Overhead Triceps Extension setup and load convention
Entered load is the selected or loaded cable resistance for the one working handle and one arm at a time. Do not enter bodyweight, combined left-plus-right load, another station’s converted force, or a different implement’s load. Reps are total valid reps across both arms combined, using the same strict overhead-triceps-extension standard on each side. No side selector, separate left/right entries, or imbalance score is supported; this tool scores the total-combined unilateral test only. Consistent setup, range, and finish quality across the entered set. No substituted exercise or assisted reps.
Enter one recent Weighted Push-Ups result and one recent Single Arm Cable Overhead Triceps Extension result
First lift: added weight and 1–12 strict reps. Second lift: weight used and 1–12 strict reps. Pounds or kilograms.
