Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine Deadlift Strength Standards

Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine Deadlift Strength Standards

The paired standards below show what the barbell deadlift and landmine 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 Barbell Deadlift / Landmine Deadlift in pounds with kilograms underneath. The calculator above handles exact bodyweight and set inputs.

Men’s Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine 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 Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine 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

The entered weight is used directly for one rep. With 2–12 reps, both estimates are compared and the lower value is used.

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

For the most useful Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine Deadlift comparison, enter clean, difficult sets performed with the same technique and range of motion you use in training. Lower-rep sets usually require less extrapolation.

2. Find the barbell deadlift strength level

The barbell deadlift 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 landmine deadlift strength level

The standards use the sex-specific thresholds from the individual Landmine Deadlift tool. 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.

The target rises more slowly than bodyweight so larger lifters are expected to lift more without requiring strength to increase pound for pound.

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.

A priority result is a standards comparison, not a diagnosis. Differences in technique, fatigue, practice, or set effort may influence it. Age range is recorded anonymously and does not alter these standards.

How Men’s Barbell Deadlift and Landmine Deadlift Standards Differ

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

Barbell Deadlift and Landmine Deadlift Exercises Used by This Calculator

Compare like-for-like attempts by keeping the barbell deadlift and landmine deadlift setup consistent with their individual rules. Use strict, repeatable Barbell Deadlift and Landmine 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 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.

Use the Landmine Deadlift setup and load convention

The total loaded free-end landmine weight used for the set. Strict free-end landmine deadlift reps. Pull the loaded free end of the anchored bar from the accepted bottom position to full standing control, keeping the angled bar path stable and avoiding bounced, hitched, rowed, or raised-block substitutions. Consistent setup, range, and finish quality across the entered set. No substituted exercise or assisted reps.

Enter one recent Barbell Deadlift result and one recent Landmine Deadlift result

Use the correct input for each exercise: Total barbell weight and a whole number from 1 to 12 reps for Barbell Deadlift and Total barbell load and a whole number from 1 to 12 reps for Landmine Deadlift.
