Reverse Lunge vs Hip Thrust Strength Standards
Compare your reverse lunge and hip thrust against strength standards for your sex, age range, and bodyweight. Enter one recent result for each exercise to see your strength levels, next target, and which exercise is the priority.
Use each exercise's canonical input: No external load for Reverse Lunge and Total barbell weight for Hip Thrust. Use one continuous set of strict alternating bodyweight reverse lunges counted left plus right; use a barbell hip thrust with the upper back supported on a bench, a consistent bottom position, and a controlled full hip lockout. Repetitions are never converted into weight. Each exercise keeps its own measurement type. Age range changes only an exercise whose standards use age.
Reverse Lunge vs Hip Thrust Strength Standards by Bodyweight
These tables show the minimum result each exercise needs to reach Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite. Weight-based standards are shown in pounds and kilograms. Direct-performance standards remain strict repetitions or seconds and show every applicable age range.
Find your bodyweight in the men’s or women’s table, then read across the strength levels. Results measured in weight, repetitions, or seconds are not meant to match and are never converted into one another. Use the calculator for your exact inputs and a direct comparison of the strength levels.
Men’s Reverse Lunge vs Hip Thrust Standards
How to read the table: Each table entry lists the minimum result for both exercises. Weight-based targets show pounds and kilograms; direct-performance targets show strict repetitions or seconds for each age range. Scroll horizontally on smaller screens.

How Your Reverse Lunge vs Hip Thrust Result Is Calculated
The two exercises can use different measurements. The calculator rates each result against the standards for that exercise first, then compares the resulting strength levels and progress toward the next level. It never invents a reps-to-weight conversion.
1. Estimate the weight-based result
For Hip Thrust, one rep uses the weight entered. For 2–12 reps, the calculator runs both estimates and keeps the lower result.
- Epley: weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30)
- Brzycki: weight × 36 ÷ (37 − reps)
A published back-squat study supports estimated-max prediction under its study conditions. It does not independently validate every exercise or population used by this comparison.
2. Rate the Reverse Lunge result
Sex-, bodyweight-band-, and age-specific repetition thresholds map the strict set to a canonical strength tier; no reps-to-weight conversion is used. The calculator uses one continuous bodyweight set counted as total alternating reps across both legs and does not convert the repetitions into an estimated weight.
3. Rate the Hip Thrust result
The hip thrust standards use the sex-specific standards from the individual Hip Thrust tool. The target adjusts to bodyweight using reference target × (user bodyweight ÷ reference bodyweight) to the two-thirds power.
4. Compare strength level and progress
The lower strength level is the priority. When both exercises reach the same level, a priority appears only when one is at least 10 points farther from its next target. Otherwise, the result is Balanced. Age range changes only the exercise whose standards include age; it remains an analytics field for the other exercise.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Rate the reverse lunge | Rate one continuous bodyweight set by total alternating repetitions without converting reps into weight. Measurement: Total strict alternating reps. |
| Rate the hip thrust | Adjust hip thrust targets to exact bodyweight with the two-thirds rule. Measurement: estimated one-rep max. |
| Compare levels | Use each exercise’s own level and next target; do not compare or divide results that use different measurements. |
How Men’s Reverse Lunge and Hip Thrust Standards Differ
What the men’s standards show:
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 120 lb bodyweight.
Elite weight targets from 120 to 300 lb bodyweight.
Raw repetitions, seconds, and weights are not divided or converted. The calculator compares each exercise’s canonical tier and progress within that tier.
The exact table above is the correct way to inspect direct or unlike measurements. A pounds-difference chart would be invalid because repetitions, seconds, and estimated weight do not share a unit.
How Women’s Reverse Lunge and Hip Thrust Standards Differ
What the women’s standards show:
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 100 lb bodyweight.
Elite weight targets from 100 to 240 lb bodyweight.
Raw repetitions, seconds, and weights are not divided or converted. The calculator compares each exercise’s canonical tier and progress within that tier.
Use the calculator to apply the correct age range and exact bodyweight before comparing the two strength levels.
Reverse Lunge and Hip Thrust Exercises Used by This Calculator
This calculator uses a strict bodyweight reverse lunge and a bench-supported barbell hip thrust. Use strict canonical Reverse Lunge and Hip Thrust tests. Do not mix variations, assistance, partial range, momentum, or different load conventions.
Count total alternating reps across both legs
Start standing, step backward to strict depth, return to full standing control, and alternate sides. Enter the total left-plus-right rep count from one continuous bodyweight set. Do not count weighted, walking, forward, assisted, same-side, partial, bounced, or balance-reset reps.
Use a bench-supported barbell hip thrust
Support the upper back on a stable bench, lower to a repeatable bottom position, and drive through planted feet to full hip extension without lumbar hyperextension. Do not enter a floor glute bridge, Smith-machine thrust, machine glute drive, partial rep, or barbell weight that excludes part of the loaded total.
Enter one recent Reverse Lunge result and one recent Hip Thrust result
Use each exercise’s canonical input: No external load for Reverse Lunge and Total barbell weight for Hip Thrust.
