Hollow Body Hold vs Dead Hang Strength Standards
Compare your hollow body hold and dead hang 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.
Enter one strict continuous hold time in seconds for each exercise. Use a strict, repeatable hollow body hold test using the canonical setup, range, and finish rules; use one continuous unassisted bodyweight hang from a fixed bar with both arms straight and feet off the floor. Each exercise keeps its own measurement type; repetitions, seconds, and weights are never converted into one another. Age range changes only an exercise whose standards use age.
Hollow Body Hold vs Dead Hang 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.

How Your Hollow Body Hold vs Dead Hang 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 conversion between repetitions, seconds, and weight.
2. Rate the Hollow Body Hold result
The canonical time thresholds map the strict hold to a strength tier; no time-to-weight conversion is used. The calculator uses one continuous strict hollow body hold hold scored in seconds and keeps hold time in seconds.
3. Rate the Dead Hang result
Sex-, bodyweight-band-, and age-specific time thresholds map the strict hold to a canonical strength tier; no time-to-weight conversion is used. The calculator uses one continuous unassisted bodyweight dead hang scored by valid seconds and keeps hold time in seconds.
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 hollow body hold | Rate strict hollow body hold hold time without converting seconds into weight. Measurement: estimated one-rep max. |
| Rate the dead hang | Rate strict bodyweight hang time without converting seconds into weight. 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 Hollow Body Hold and Dead Hang Standards Differ
What the men’s standards show:
Hollow Body Hold Elite targets140 sec → 75 sec
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 120 lb bodyweight.
Dead Hang Elite targets210 sec → 115 sec
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 120 lb bodyweight.
Comparison boundaryStrength level first
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 Hollow Body Hold and Dead Hang Standards Differ
What the women’s standards show:
Hollow Body Hold Elite targets120 sec → 65 sec

Use the calculator to apply the correct age range and exact bodyweight before comparing the two strength levels.
Hollow Body Hold and Dead Hang Exercises Used by This Calculator
This calculator uses a strict hollow body hold and a strict bodyweight dead hang. Use strict canonical Hollow Body Hold and Dead Hang tests. Do not mix variations, assistance, partial range, momentum, or different load conventions.
Use a strict, repeatable Hollow Body Hold
Follow the individual Hollow Body Hold calculator’s canonical setup, load convention, range of motion, and finish rules. Keep the same setup when retesting.
Time one continuous straight-arm hang
Use both hands with arms straight, feet off the floor, and body controlled. Stop when the position or grip breaks. Do not count flexed-arm, one-arm, weighted, assisted, strap-supported, foot-supported, or combined attempts.
