Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine Romanian Deadlift Strength Standards

Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine Romanian Deadlift Strength Standards

These bodyweight tables place the barbell deadlift and landmine romanian deadlift targets side by side from Novice through Elite. Use them to compare standards, not to force a particular ratio between the lifts.

Find the closest row in the men’s or women’s table. Every target lists Barbell Deadlift / Landmine Romanian Deadlift, pounds first and kilograms second. Enter your own sets above for exact ratings without testing a true one-rep max.

Men’s Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine Romanian 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 Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine Romanian 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 Romanian 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

A one-rep set uses the entered weight. For 2–12 reps, both formulas are calculated and the lower estimate is retained.

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

Use recent Barbell Deadlift and Landmine Romanian Deadlift sets with consistent technique and full intended range of motion. Difficult lower-rep sets generally make the estimated max less dependent on extrapolation.

2. 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.

3. Find the landmine romanian deadlift strength level

The landmine romanian 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.

This adjustment expects larger lifters to move more weight, but it does not increase the target pound for pound with bodyweight.

4. Compare the two results

The lift with the lower Beginner-to-Elite rating is the priority. If both ratings match, the calculator requires a 10-point difference in next-level progress before naming a priority; otherwise it reports Balanced.

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.

How Men’s Barbell Deadlift and Landmine Romanian Deadlift Standards Differ

How to read this chart: Choose a strength level and follow its line across bodyweight. Values show the Landmine Romanian Deadlift standard minus the Barbell Deadlift standard: zero means equal, above zero means the Landmine Romanian 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 Romanian Deadlift Exercises Used by This Calculator

The calculator expects repeatable barbell deadlift and landmine romanian deadlift results. Follow each exercise definition below so the two ratings are based on valid tests. Use strict, repeatable Barbell Deadlift and Landmine Romanian 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 Romanian Deadlift setup and load convention

The total loaded free-end landmine weight hinged through the accepted Romanian deadlift range. Strict landmine Romanian deadlift reps. Hinge the loaded free end of the anchored bar through a repeatable Romanian deadlift range, keep tension without floor reset or bounce, and return to standing without turning the rep into a squat, row, or rack pull. 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 Romanian 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 Romanian Deadlift.
