Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine Romanian Deadlift Strength Standards

Compare your barbell deadlift and landmine romanian deadlift against strength standards for your sex and bodyweight. Enter one recent set of 1–12 reps for each lift to see your estimated one-rep maxes, strength levels, next targets, and which lift you should prioritize.

Use each exercise's canonical input: 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. Use a conventional deadlift from the floor to full lockout and the total loaded free-end landmine weight hinged through the accepted Romanian deadlift range. You can enter either lift in pounds or kilograms. Each lift is compared with its own standards, so the heavier lift is not automatically the stronger one.

Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine Romanian Deadlift Strength Standards by Bodyweight

Use these tables to compare the estimated one-rep max required for the barbell deadlift and landmine romanian deadlift to reach the same strength level at each listed bodyweight. They show the targets used by the calculator—not a required difference between your barbell deadlift and landmine romanian deadlift.

Choose the men’s or women’s table, find your bodyweight or the closest listed row, then read across to Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, or Elite. Every entry shows Barbell Deadlift / Landmine Romanian Deadlift, with pounds first and kilograms underneath. For a result based on your exact bodyweight and recent sets, use the calculator above; you do not need to test either true one-rep max.

Men’s Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine Romanian Deadlift Standards

How to read the table: The first number is Barbell Deadlift; the second is Landmine Romanian Deadlift. Each number is the lowest estimated one-rep max needed to reach that strength level. Scroll horizontally on smaller screens.

How Your Barbell Deadlift vs Landmine Romanian Deadlift Result Is Calculated

The calculator estimates each max, rates it against the standards for that exercise and bodyweight, then compares the two ratings. Here is the complete process.

1. Estimate a one-rep max from each set

For one rep, it uses the weight entered. For 2–12 reps, it runs both formulas and keeps the lower, less aggressive estimate.

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

A published back-squat study supports estimated-max prediction under its study conditions. It does not independently validate every exercise or population used by this comparison. Estimates are more dependable from clean, difficult, lower-rep sets. See the Back-squat formula validation study and Published discussion of back-squat one-rep-max prediction research.

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 your exact bodyweight: reference target × (user bodyweight ÷ reference bodyweight) to the two-thirds power.

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

3. Find the landmine romanian deadlift strength level

The standards use the sex-specific thresholds from the individual Landmine Romanian Deadlift tool. Targets begin at 190 lb for men and 150 lb for women, then adjust to your exact bodyweight: 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

Each max receives a level from Beginner through Elite. The lower-level lift is the priority. If the levels match, a priority appears only when one lift is at least 10 points farther from its next level. Otherwise, the result is Balanced.

The result shows which lift ranks lower, not why. Technique, fatigue, training history, and set quality can affect it. Age range is recorded anonymously but does not change the standards.

Stage	What happens
Estimate each max	Use the entered weight for 1 rep; for 2–12 reps, keep the lower formula result.
Rate the barbell deadlift	Adjust barbell deadlift targets to exact bodyweight with the two-thirds rule.
Rate the landmine romanian deadlift	Use the canonical estimated max and adjust targets to exact bodyweight with the approved two-thirds rule.
Compare different levels	Name the lower-level lift as the priority.
Compare matching levels	Use Balanced unless the difference in progress toward the next level reaches 10 points.

Use the calculator above to see both estimated maxes, strength levels, the priority or Balanced result, and both next-level targets.

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

How to read both charts: Choose a strength level, find bodyweight along the bottom, and follow that level’s line. Zero means the two standards are equal. Above zero means the landmine romanian deadlift standard is higher; below zero means the barbell deadlift standard is higher. On a phone, swipe the chart left and right to inspect the full-size lines and labels. The tables provide the exact pounds and kilograms.

What the men’s data shows:

Elite difference204 → 376 lb

How to read the table: Every number is the landmine romanian deadlift standard minus the barbell deadlift standard. A plus sign means the landmine romanian deadlift standard is higher. A minus sign means the barbell deadlift standard is higher.

Barbell Deadlift and Landmine Romanian Deadlift Exercises Used by This Calculator

This calculator uses a conventional barbell deadlift and a strict landmine romanian deadlift test. Use strict canonical Barbell Deadlift and Landmine Romanian Deadlift tests. Do not mix variations, assistance, partial range, momentum, or different load 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 canonical 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 each exercise’s canonical input: 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.
