Open calculatorMake sense of your squat comparison
A comparison helps you see where two lifts sit relative to their own standards. It is not a promise that the same weight will feel the same on both.
Use the lifts you actually did
Choose the page that names the two squats from your workout. A back squat and a goblet squat are different tests.
Look beyond the number
The bigger number is not automatically the stronger result. Look at how each performance ranks for that exercise.
Keep the machine detail
If one side uses a machine, choose the right machine page. The setup matters.
Use it as a guide
Use the result to track your training and spot strengths or gaps. It is not a magic conversion.
