16-Inch Axle Deadlift Strength Standards Calculator
Compare your 16-Inch Axle Deadlift strength with Endura's strength standards for men and women at your bodyweight. A useful benchmark for a good one-rep max is our Intermediate standard: approximately 324 lb at 190 lb for a man and 182 lb at 150 lb for a woman.
How does your best lift compare? Enter your bodyweight, the total axle weight, including the axle and plates, and the reps you completed below. The calculator estimates your one-rep max and shows your strength level for your bodyweight. Use the exercise-specific approved repetition convention.
The calculator compares that estimated one-rep max with the 16-Inch Axle Deadlift standards for your sex at your bodyweight. It preserves the calculator's existing equations, thresholds, and input meanings; the benchmark is a comparison target, not a working-set prescription.
What Is a Good Weight for 16-Inch Axle Deadlift?
A useful Endura benchmark for 16-Inch Axle Deadlift is the Intermediate level. At the reference bodyweights used by this model, Intermediate begins around 324 lb for a 190 lb man and 182 lb for a 150 lb woman. These are estimated one-rep-max comparison targets, not universal starting weights or measured population averages.
Enter the total axle weight, including the axle and plates. Keep the same convention when comparing sets. Use the exercise-specific approved repetition convention. Enter your bodyweight, exact exercise weight, and valid reps to see how your set compares with the bodyweight-adjusted standards and the next target.
Your 16-Inch Axle Deadlift result compares your estimated one-rep max with strength targets adjusted for your sex and exact bodyweight. The result is still specific to 16-Inch Axle Deadlift; it should not be treated as a rating for a nearby exercise.
A heavier lifter receives higher target loads, but those targets do not rise pound-for-pound with bodyweight. This is why the calculator uses your exact bodyweight instead of assigning every lifter’s tier from one fixed bodyweight ratio.
16-Inch Axle Deadlift Strength Standards
Use the men’s or women’s table and find the row closest to your bodyweight for a quick reference. For an exact result, enter your bodyweight, weight lifted, and reps into the calculator. It will estimate your one-rep max, identify your strength level, and show the next target to pursue.
Enter total axle load including implement and plates. Count only a valid raw dead-stop rep from the fixed 16.00-inch shaft-center start on equal rigid blocks to full hip-and-knee lockout. Do not enter a floor pull, another height, a standard bar, trap bar, frame, log, rack pull, straps, bounce, hitch, or partial lockout.
Endura built these standards from reviewed 16-Inch Axle Deadlift targets and adjusts them for different bodyweights. They are practical benchmarks for this exact test—not population averages or standards for Axle Deadlift.

| 220 lb | 176 lb | 242 lb | 326 lb | 414 lb+ | 488 lb |
The men’s and women’s tables use separate bodyweight-adjusted targets for this exact elevated axle configuration. The calculator applies the corresponding sex and bodyweight model to the entered set; it does not treat one ratio as a universal standard for every deadlift variation.
At 200 lb bodyweight, a male lifter needs about 451 lb for Advanced and 561 lb for Elite. At 150 lb bodyweight, a female lifter needs about 244 lb for Advanced and 310 lb for Elite. Treat those as standards for this exact exercise, not as claims about sport ranking or another lift.
How the 16-Inch Axle Deadlift Calculator Works
Enter your sex, bodyweight, weight lifted, and reps. The calculator estimates your one-rep max from the set, then compares that estimate with the 16-Inch Axle Deadlift targets for your exact bodyweight. A one-rep entry uses the entered weight directly.
The bodyweight adjustment starts with reviewed targets for a 190 lb man and a 150 lb woman. For example, the men’s Advanced target is 366 lb at 150 lb bodyweight, 428 lb at 190 lb, and 486 lb at 230 lb. That is why the calculator needs your exact bodyweight instead of using one fixed bodyweight ratio for everyone.
Elite 16-Inch Axle Deadlift Strength Levels
Elite 16-Inch Axle Deadlift strength means reaching the Elite target for your sex and exact bodyweight while following the calculator’s accepted testing rules. The target increases as bodyweight increases, but not pound-for-pound, so use the calculator for your exact Elite and Stretch targets.
| Sex | Bodyweight | Elite begins | Stretch begins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men | 150 lb | 455 lb | 527 lb |
| Men | 190 lb | 533 lb | 617 lb |
| Men | 230 lb | 605 lb | 701 lb |
| Women | 120 lb | 267 lb | 315 lb |
| Women | 150 lb | 310 lb | 366 lb |
| Women | 180 lb | 350 lb | 413 lb |
16-Inch Axle Deadlift Strength Compared to Other Lifts
Use these comparisons to see how your 16-Inch Axle Deadlift strength carries over when the implement, starting position, or finish changes. Test each movement under its own rules so every result reflects the exercise you actually performed.
Compare the strength levels each calculator gives you instead of assuming the same weight means the same thing in different exercises. A meaningful gap can point you toward the part of the movement worth working on next.
| Compare with | What the comparison can show | How the test differs |
|---|---|---|
| Barbell Deadlift (Raw) | Compare with 16-Inch Axle Deadlift while preserving separate movement and scoring rules. | This is a distinct movement with its own scoring rules and strength standards. |
| Barbell Sumo Deadlift | Compare with 16-Inch Axle Deadlift while preserving separate movement and scoring rules. | This is a distinct movement with its own scoring rules and strength standards. |
| Trap Bar Deadlift | Contrast the fixed thick axle with a neutral-handle implement. | Uses a different implement and hand position, so it is not interchangeable. |
| Barbell Rack Pull | Contrast the fixed 16-inch start with a rack-supported start. | Uses a different support height and implement, so it answers a different question. |
| Farmer’s Walk | Contrast a fixed elevated deadlift with a carry-based grip task. | Uses a different movement and scoring convention, so it is not interchangeable. |
Milestones in 16-Inch Axle Deadlift Strength
Your next 16-Inch Axle Deadlift milestone is the next strength level above your current result. Enter your sex, bodyweight, total axle load including implement and plates, and valid raw 16-inch axle deadlift reps to see exactly how much estimated one-rep-max strength separates you from that level.
Use that gap as a concrete training target. Because your score is based on estimated one-rep-max strength, you can close it by lifting a heavier axle from the fixed 16-inch start, completing more valid dead-stop reps at the same load, or improving both. Recalculate after a strong set to see whether you reached the next level and, if not, exactly how much remains.
| Group | Reference bodyweight | Novice to Intermediate | Intermediate to Advanced | Advanced to Elite | Elite to Stretch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men | 190 lb | +84 lb | +104 lb | +105 lb | +84 lb |
| Women | 150 lb | +50 lb | +62 lb | +66 lb | +56 lb |
