Ring Archer Push-Ups Strength Standards

Under strict Ring Archer Push-Ups strength standards, Novice starts around 2 reps for men age 20-29 and 2 reps for women age 20-29, while Elite starts around 16 reps for men and 12 reps for women.

Enter your sex, bodyweight, age, and strict reps to see whether your Ring Archer Push-Ups is Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, or Elite for your bodyweight and age.

The calculator compares your valid strict reps with the Ring Archer Push-Ups standards for your sex, bodyweight, and age. This keeps the result focused on bodyweight performance instead of load, estimated 1RM, or a different exercise.

Understanding Your Ring Archer Push-Ups Strength Score

Your Ring Archer Push-Ups score is the lower strict-rep result from the two sides. Test both sides and enter the lower strict-rep result: if one side reaches 12 reps and the other reaches 10, the score is 10. The calculator compares that result with the standards for the sex, age range, and bodyweight you select.

The score is useful only when every attempt follows the same movement standard. Begin the attempt from this position: a rigid plank with both rings under control and elbows extended. Lower toward the tested-side ring while the opposite arm extends laterally, press back to the two-arm start, test both sides, and enter the lower count.

Count the result this way: score weaker side reps only and never aggregate separate sets. Support-arm bend that changes the archer standard, upper body rotation, hip sag, shortened depth, foot movement, ring-height change, assistance, or added weight. Keep apparatus, range, side order, reset, and scoring identical on retest.

Ring Archer Push-Ups Strength Standards

These are Endura’s standards for comparing consistent Ring Archer Push-Ups attempts. They are exercise-specific practical benchmarks, not population averages.

How Endura set these standards: The approved Ring Archer Push-Ups model defines Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite strict-repetition benchmarks for men and women in five age groups. Each exact threshold and tier boundary is checked against the calculator before publication.

The tables organize Ring Archer Push-Ups standards by sex and age. Compare your the weaker side’s strict reps with the Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite columns. A result below the Novice threshold is classified as Beginner.

For example, men age 20-29 reach Intermediate at 5 reps, Advanced at 10 reps, and Elite at 16 reps. Women age 40-49 reach those same levels at 3 reps, 6 reps, and 10 reps. These examples come directly from the table values above.

Use the calculator to apply your exact inputs, place your result in the correct level, and see the next target without doing the table lookup yourself.

How the Ring Archer Push-Ups Calculator Works

The calculator uses your sex, age group, bodyweight, and the weaker side’s strict rep count. Test both sides and enter the lower valid rep count. It compares that score with the exercise-specific Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite thresholds. Because higher is stronger for this test, more valid reps can move the result to a higher level.

The result shows your standards level, entered score, the sex and age group used, and your next target. An exact threshold counts as the higher level. Using the men’s age 20-29 reference row, 5 strict reps on the weaker side is Intermediate and Advanced begins at 10 strict reps on the weaker side, making the next target 5 additional strict reps on the weaker side. The calculator handles the tier lookup and target math automatically.

The calculator cannot inspect your attempt. It assumes the number entered follows the Ring Archer Push-Ups Testing Rules. If the attempt became invalid before you stopped, enter the lower valid rep count reached before either side’s first invalid rep.

Ring Archer Push-Ups Testing Rules

Test both sides under the same rules and record the lower valid rep count. The calculator compares the number you enter with the Ring Archer Push-Ups standards, but it cannot verify how the attempt was performed. Use the exercise-specific requirements below before entering a score.

Count or timeScore weaker side reps only and never aggregate separate sets.
Tempo and pausesControlled movement or continuous hold with no bounce, kip, hidden rest, or range-shortening pace change.
AssistanceNo bands, partner or machine help, counterweight, external support, or added added weight.
StopSupport-arm bend that changes the archer standard, upper body rotation, hip sag, shortened depth, foot movement, ring-height change, assistance, or added weight.
Retest consistentlyKeep apparatus, range, side order, reset, and scoring identical on retest.

What Counts and What Does Not Count

Enter only the exact Ring Archer Push-Ups test described in the checklist. The examples below separate that test from common substitutions that use different loading, assistance, range, position, equipment, or counting rules.

Attempt or variationEnter it?Why
Ring Archer Push-UpsYesThis is the exact exercise when it follows every start, range or position, counting or timing, assistance, and stop rule above.
ring push-ups, ring flyes, one-arm ring push-upsNoThese are nearby movements or positions, but they are not the same test.
weighted vest, belt, plateNoAdded resistance changes the exercise and the meaning of the score.
band, partner, machineNoExternal support changes the work required and makes the result noncomparable.
partial range, bounce, kipNoAltered range, position, resets, or counting can inflate the entered result.
apparatus changes that alter leverage, stability, rangeNoA different setup can change support, leverage, range, or difficulty.

When a call is borderline, use the lower valid rep count reached before either side’s first invalid rep. That keeps Ring Archer Push-Ups results useful for comparison over time. Apply the same checklist every time you retest.

Elite Ring Archer Push-Ups Strength Levels

Elite begins when your weaker-side strict rep score meets or exceeds the Elite threshold for the applicable sex and age group. Because the tier boundary is lower-inclusive, a score exactly equal to the threshold counts as Elite. The table shows every public Elite starting point for Ring Archer Push-Ups.

Reference groupElite starts at
Men age 20-2916 strict reps on the weaker side
Men age 30-3914 strict reps on the weaker side
Men age 40-4913 strict reps on the weaker side
Men age 50-5910 strict reps on the weaker side
Men age 60+8 strict reps on the weaker side
Women age 20-2912 strict reps on the weaker side
Women age 30-3911 strict reps on the weaker side
Women age 40-4910 strict reps on the weaker side
Women age 50-598 strict reps on the weaker side
Women age 60+6 strict reps on the weaker side

An Elite result still has to follow the same Ring Archer Push-Ups Testing Rules; if the attempt became invalid earlier, use the lower valid rep count reached before either side’s first invalid rep. After Elite, the calculator can show a separate rep stretch target when one is available, but that target does not replace or redefine the Elite threshold.

Milestones and Next Targets

Your next Ring Archer Push-Ups target is the first strength-level threshold above your current valid rep score. The calculator uses your selected sex, age group, bodyweight, and the weaker side’s strict reps, subtracts your result from that threshold, and shows the exact additional strict reps needed.

The table shows the complete jumps between level starting points for the age 20–29 reference group; your personal gap may be smaller because it begins from your current result rather than the previous level’s minimum.

ProgressionMen age 20-29Women age 20-29
Novice → Intermediate+3 strict reps on the weaker side+2 strict reps on the weaker side
Intermediate → Advanced+5 strict reps on the weaker side+4 strict reps on the weaker side
Advanced → Elite+6 strict reps on the weaker side+4 strict reps on the weaker side
