Weighted Push-Ups (standard) vs Single Dumbbell Seated Triceps Extension
Compare your weighted push-up and single dumbbell seated triceps extension 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: added weight and 1–12 strict reps. Second lift: weight of one dumbbell 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, no torso lean, standing, or leg drive. Each lift is compared with its own standards, so the heavier lift is not automatically the stronger one.
Weighted Push-Ups vs Single Dumbbell Seated Triceps Extension Strength Standards
Use these tables to compare the estimated one-rep max required for the weighted push-up and single dumbbell seated triceps extension 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 Weighted Push-Ups / Single Dumbbell Seated Triceps Extension, with pounds above kilograms. Use the calculator for your exact bodyweight and recent sets.

How Your Weighted Push-Ups vs Single Dumbbell Seated Triceps Extension 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 Weighted Push-Ups vs Single Dumbbell Seated 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 dumbbell seated triceps extension strength level
For single dumbbell seated 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.
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
Each max receives a level from Beginner through Elite. The lower-level lift becomes the priority. At matching levels, a priority appears only when one lift is at least 10 points farther from its next level; otherwise the result is 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 weighted push-up | Use the weighted push-up added-weight standards directly without changing their specialized bodyweight method. |
| Rate the single dumbbell seated 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 Dumbbell Seated 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, and Advanced throughout the table.
At Elite, the difference is 1.9 kg at 120 lb and 18.2 kg at 300 lb.
How to read this chart: Choose a strength level and follow its line across bodyweight. Values show the Single Dumbbell Seated Triceps Extension standard minus the Weighted Push-Ups standard: zero means equal, above zero means the Single Dumbbell Seated Triceps Extension standard is higher, and below zero means the Weighted Push-Ups standard is higher.

Weighted Push-Ups and Single Dumbbell Seated Triceps Extension Exercises Used by This Calculator
The calculator expects repeatable weighted push-up and single dumbbell seated triceps extension results. Follow each exercise definition below so the two ratings are based on valid tests. Use strict, repeatable Weighted Push-Ups and Single Dumbbell Seated 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 Dumbbell Seated Triceps Extension setup and load convention
One dumbbell held with both hands. Seated setup stays consistent. Start overhead with elbows extended. Lower behind or just above head. Keep bottom target consistent. Keep upper arms controlled. No pullover or shoulder press. No torso lean, standing, or leg drive. Finish with full elbow extension. No assisted or forced reps. Raw lifting only.
Enter one recent Weighted Push-Ups result and one recent Single Dumbbell Seated Triceps Extension result
First lift: added weight and 1–12 strict reps. Second lift: weight of one dumbbell and 1–12 strict reps. Pounds or kilograms.
