Atlas Stone vs Barbell Deadlift Strength Standards

Atlas Stone vs Barbell Deadlift Strength Standards

The paired standards below show what the atlas stone and barbell deadlift each require at the same strength level. They are separate exercise targets rather than a prescribed difference between your lifts.

Select the appropriate sex table and nearest bodyweight, then choose a strength-level column. Values are ordered Atlas Stone / Barbell Deadlift in pounds with kilograms underneath. The calculator above handles exact bodyweight and set inputs.

Men’s Atlas Stone vs Barbell Deadlift Standards

How to read the table: Find the closest bodyweight, then use the labeled exercise row. Every strength-level entry shows one target with pounds first and kilograms beneath it.

Women’s Atlas Stone vs Barbell Deadlift Standards

How to read the table: Find the closest bodyweight, then use the labeled exercise row. Every strength-level entry shows one target with pounds first and kilograms beneath it.

How Your Atlas Stone vs Barbell Deadlift Result Is Calculated

The comparison starts by estimating each max separately. It then rates both lifts against their own standards before identifying the lower result.

1. Estimate a one-rep max from each set

When the set contains one rep, the entered load is the estimate. For 2–12 reps, the calculator keeps the less aggressive of the two formula results.

• Epley: weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30)
• Brzycki: weight × 36 ÷ (37 − reps)

Set quality matters for this Atlas Stone vs Barbell Deadlift comparison. Enter technically consistent, challenging sets, and prefer lower-rep results when practical because the estimate extends less far beyond the performed set.

2. Find the atlas stone strength level

The atlas stone rating uses its sex-specific exercise standards. Reference targets at 190 lb for men and 150 lb for women are scaled to the entered bodyweight by reference target × (user bodyweight ÷ reference bodyweight) to the two-thirds power.

Two-thirds scaling raises the target as bodyweight rises while limiting the size advantage that a direct one-to-one adjustment would create.

3. Find the barbell deadlift strength level

The deadlift data uses lifters ages 18–39. Targets begin at 190 lb for men and 150 lb for women, then adjust to exact bodyweight with reference target × (user bodyweight ÷ reference bodyweight) to the two-thirds power.

Two-thirds scaling raises the target as bodyweight rises while limiting the size advantage that a direct one-to-one adjustment would create.

4. Compare the two results

Strength level decides the comparison first. Matching levels remain Balanced unless progress toward the next target differs by at least 10 points.

The result identifies the lower standards rating, not its cause. Technique, fatigue, training history, and set quality can all affect the comparison. Age range is recorded anonymously but does not change these standards.

The calculator above applies these steps to your exact entries and reports both lift ratings, both next targets, and the final comparison.

How Men’s Atlas Stone and Barbell Deadlift Standards Differ

How to read this chart: Choose a strength level and follow its line across bodyweight. Values show the Barbell Deadlift standard minus the Atlas Stone standard: zero means equal, above zero means the Barbell Deadlift standard is higher, and below zero means the Atlas Stone standard is higher. Swipe horizontally on mobile. Use the standards table for exact lb/kg targets.

Atlas Stone and Barbell Deadlift Exercises Used by This Calculator

Valid results depend on using the specified atlas stone and barbell deadlift technique and load convention. Use strict, repeatable Atlas Stone and Barbell Deadlift tests that follow each exercise’s setup, range of motion, equipment, and weight-entry rules. Do not mix variations, assistance, partial range, momentum, or different weight conventions.

Use the exercise-specific Atlas Stone setup and load convention

Use the total stone load lifted to the defined target. Enter only valid Atlas stone load reps to the defined target. Count reps that lift the round stone from the floor, secure it through the lap or body-contact phase, and load it to the defined platform or over-bar target without assistance, elevated starts, lower targets, ramps, or carry substitutions. Keep setup, range, and finish quality consistent across the entered set. Do not count substituted exercises or assisted reps.

Use a conventional barbell deadlift from the floor

Start every rep with the bar motionless on the floor and finish standing with the hips and knees straight. Do not bounce the bar, use touch-and-go reps, hitch it up the thighs, or enter a rack pull, block pull, trap-bar deadlift, Romanian deadlift, machine variation, or equipped result.

Enter one recent Atlas Stone result and one recent Barbell Deadlift result

Use the correct input for each exercise: Weight used for Atlas Stone and Total barbell weight for Barbell Deadlift.
