Endura

Cable Rear Pulldown (Wide Grip) Strength Standards Calculator

Compare your Cable Rear Pulldown 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 116 lb at 190 lb for a man and 62 lb at 150 lb for a woman.

How does your best lift compare? Enter your bodyweight, the selected or displayed cable-stack resistance, and the reps you completed below. The calculator estimates your one-rep max and shows your strength level for your bodyweight. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range.

The calculator compares that estimated one-rep max with the Cable Rear Pulldown standards for your sex at your bodyweight. Use the result to compare sets performed with the same equipment and movement rules. The benchmark is a comparison target, not a working-set prescription.

What Is a Good Weight for Cable Rear Pulldown?

A useful Endura benchmark for Cable Rear Pulldown is the Intermediate level. At the reference bodyweights used by this model, Intermediate begins around 116 lb for a 190 lb man and 62 lb for a 150 lb woman. These are estimated one-rep-max comparison targets, not universal starting weights or measured population averages.

Enter the selected or displayed cable-stack resistance. Keep the same convention when comparing sets. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range. 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 Cable Rear Pulldown (Wide Grip) result compares your estimated one-rep max with strength targets adjusted for your sex and exact bodyweight. The result is still specific to Cable Rear Pulldown (Wide Grip); it should not be treated as a rating for a nearby exercise.

A heavier lifter receives higher target weights, 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.

Cable Rear Pulldown (Wide Grip) 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 the selected or displayed cable-stack resistance. Use the same cable station and setup when comparing sets. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range. Sit on a high-pulley station and secure the thighs under the pads. Take a wide, overhand grip at a repeatable width before the counted set begins. Begin with the bar controlled overhead and torso upright; do not force shoulder external rotation or a range that is uncomfortable. Pull the bar behind the head toward the base of the neck using both arms together. The finish must be controlled with no torso heave, neck thrust, shrug, or bounce. Return under control to the same overhead range.

Endura built these standards from reviewed Cable Rear Pulldown (Wide Grip) targets and adjusts them for different bodyweights. They are practical benchmarks for this exact test—not population averages.

How the Cable Rear Pulldown (Wide Grip) 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 Cable Rear Pulldown (Wide Grip) 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 134 lb at 150 lb bodyweight, 157 lb at 190 lb, and 178 lb at 230 lb. That is why the calculator needs your exact bodyweight instead of using one fixed bodyweight ratio for everyone.

Elite Cable Rear Pulldown (Wide Grip) Strength Levels

Elite Cable Rear Pulldown (Wide Grip) 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.

Cable Rear Pulldown (Wide Grip) Strength Compared to Other Lifts

Use these comparisons to see how your Cable Rear Pulldown (Wide Grip) 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.
