Weighted Push-Ups (standard) vs Weighted Ring Dip
Compare your weighted push-up and weighted ring dip against strength standards for your sex and bodyweight. Enter one recent set of 1–12 reps for each lift 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, lower under control to valid dip depth. Each lift is compared with its own standards, so the heavier lift is not automatically the stronger one.
Weighted Push-Ups vs Weighted Ring Dip Strength Standards
These bodyweight tables place the weighted push-up and weighted ring dip 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 Weighted Push-Ups / Weighted Ring Dip, pounds first and kilograms second. Enter your own sets above for exact ratings without testing a true one-rep max.

How Your Weighted Push-Ups vs Weighted Ring Dip Result Is Calculated
The calculator estimates both one-rep maxes, rates each one against its exercise and bodyweight standards, and then compares the two ratings.
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)
Set quality matters for this Weighted Push-Ups vs Weighted Ring Dip comparison. Enter technically consistent, challenging sets, and prefer lower-rep results when practical because the estimate extends less far beyond the performed set.
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 weighted ring dip strength level
The individual Weighted Ring Dip calculator supplies sex-specific standards for estimated added external load divided by bodyweight. Novice through Elite and the stretch benchmark use the exact exercise-specific threshold export; bodyweight is not added to the entered load.
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.
The result identifies the lower standards rating, not its cause. Technique, fatigue, training history, and set quality can all affect the comparison. 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 weighted ring 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 Weighted Push-Ups and Weighted Ring Dip Standards Differ
What the men’s data shows:
The standards come closest at 120 lb.
Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite at every displayed bodyweight.
Across 120–300 lb bodyweight, the Elite gap changes from 5.4 to 13.6 kg.
How to read this chart: Choose a strength level and follow its line across bodyweight. Values show the Weighted Ring Dip standard minus the Weighted Push-Ups standard: zero means equal, above zero means the Weighted Ring Dip standard is higher, and below zero means the Weighted Push-Ups standard is higher.

Weighted Push-Ups and Weighted Ring Dip Exercises Used by This Calculator
For a useful comparison, perform a strict weighted push-up and a strict weighted ring dip using the setup and load rules below. Use strict, repeatable Weighted Push-Ups and Weighted Ring Dip 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 Weighted Ring Dip setup and load convention
The entered weight for strict Weighted Ring Dip. Valid Weighted Ring Dip reps. Lower under control to valid dip depth, then press back to stable top support without kipping or foot assistance and finish with a valid rep finishes in stable locked-out ring support before the next descent. 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 Weighted Ring Dip result
First lift: added weight and 1–12 strict reps. Second lift: weight used and 1–12 strict reps. Pounds or kilograms.
