Pull Ups vs Bodyweight Push-Ups Strength Standards
Compare your pull-ups and bodyweight push-ups against strength standards for your sex, age range, and bodyweight. Enter one result for each exercise to see your strength levels, next target, and which exercise is the priority.
Enter one strict continuous repetition result for each exercise. Use one continuous set of pronated-grip dead-hang pull-ups with full arm extension and the chin clearly above the bar on every rep; use one continuous strict floor push-up set using a rigid plank, controlled depth, and full elbow lockout. Repetitions are never converted into weight. Each exercise keeps its own measurement type. Age range changes only an exercise whose standards use age.
Pull Ups vs Bodyweight Push-Ups 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 Pull-Ups vs Push-Ups 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 Pull Ups vs Bodyweight Push-Ups 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.
2. Rate the Pull-Ups result
The canonical pull-up tool uses sex-specific repetition bands. Age range and bodyweight are recorded for context and analytics but do not change these thresholds. The calculator uses strict unbroken bodyweight repetitions and does not convert the repetitions into an estimated weight.
3. Rate the Push-Ups result
Sex- 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 strict standard floor push-up set scored by total reps and does not convert the repetitions into an estimated weight.
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 pull-up set | Compare strict pronated-grip repetitions with the applicable pull-up rep thresholds. Measurement: Strict unbroken pull-up reps. |
| Rate the push-up | Rate one continuous strict bodyweight floor push-up set without converting repetitions into weight. Measurement: Total strict reps. |
| Compare levels | Use each exercise’s own level and next target; do not compare or divide results that use different measurements. |
How Men’s Pull Ups and Bodyweight Push-Ups Standards Differ
What the men’s standards show:
Pull-Ups Elite targets18 reps → 18 reps
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 120 lb bodyweight.
Push-Ups Elite targets36 reps → 13 reps
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 Pull Ups and Bodyweight Push-Ups Standards Differ
What the women’s standards show:
Pull-Ups Elite targets10 reps → 10 reps
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 100 lb bodyweight.
Push-Ups Elite targets30 reps → 10 reps
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 100 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.
Use the calculator to apply the correct age range and exact bodyweight before comparing the two strength levels.
Pull Ups and Bodyweight Push-Ups Exercises Used by This Calculator
This calculator uses a strict bodyweight pull-up set and a strict standard bodyweight push-up. Use strict canonical Pull Ups and Bodyweight Push-Ups tests. Do not mix variations, assistance, partial range, momentum, or different load conventions.
Count strict pronated-grip pull-ups
Use a fixed bar and pronated grip. Begin every rep from a dead hang at full arm extension and pull until the chin is clearly above the bar. Count one continuous unbroken set. Do not enter chin-ups, neutral-grip or ring reps, assisted or weighted reps, partial reps, kipping, hip drive, or leg swing.
Count one continuous full-range floor set
Keep a rigid plank, lower to roughly 90-degree elbow flexion or near-floor chest height, and press to full lockout. Do not count knee, incline, decline, weighted, assisted, partial, plyometric, sagged, piked, or floor-rested reps.
Enter one recent Pull Ups result and one recent Bodyweight Push-Ups result
Enter one strict continuous repetition result for each exercise.
