Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover Strength Standards Calculator
Compare your Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover strength with Endura's strength standards for men and women at your bodyweight. A useful benchmark for a good one-rep max is our Intermediate standard: approximately 86 lb at 190 lb for a man and 53 lb at 150 lb for a woman.
How does your best lift compare? Enter your bodyweight, the weight of the single dumbbell held in both hands, and the reps you completed below. The calculator estimates your one-rep max and shows your strength level for your bodyweight. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range.
The calculator compares that estimated one-rep max with the Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover standards for your sex at your bodyweight. Use the result to compare sets performed with the same equipment and movement rules. The benchmark is a comparison target, not a working-set prescription.
What Is a Good Weight for Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover?
A useful Endura benchmark for Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover is the Intermediate level. At the reference bodyweights used by this model, Intermediate begins around 86 lb for a 190 lb man and 53 lb for a 150 lb woman. These are estimated one-rep-max comparison targets, not universal starting weights or measured population averages.
Enter the weight of the single dumbbell held in both hands. Keep the same convention when comparing sets. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range. Enter your bodyweight, exact exercise weight, and valid reps to see how your set compares with the bodyweight-adjusted standards and the next target.
Your Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover result compares your estimated one-rep max with strength targets adjusted for your sex and exact bodyweight. The result is still specific to Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover; it should not be treated as a rating for a nearby exercise.
A heavier lifter receives higher target weights, but those targets do not rise pound-for-pound with bodyweight. This is why the calculator uses your exact bodyweight instead of assigning every lifter’s tier from one fixed bodyweight ratio.
Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover Strength Standards
Use the men’s or women’s table and find the row closest to your bodyweight for a quick reference. For an exact result, enter your bodyweight, weight lifted, and reps into the calculator. It will estimate your one-rep max, identify your strength level, and show the next target to pursue.
Enter the weight of the single dumbbell held in both hands. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range. Lie supine on a stable flat bench and hold one dumbbell securely with both hands above the chest. Set one repeatable elbow bend before the set. Lower the dumbbell behind the head through the same controlled shoulder-extension range while keeping the elbows bent and stable and the torso supported. Return the dumbbell over the chest without elbow-driven pressing, extension, hip lift, heave, bounce, or altered grip.
Endura built these standards from reviewed Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover targets and adjusts them for different bodyweights. They are practical benchmarks for this exact test—not population averages.

How the Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover Calculator Works
Enter your sex, bodyweight, weight lifted, and reps. The calculator estimates your one-rep max from the set, then compares that estimate with the Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover targets for your exact bodyweight. A one-rep entry uses the entered weight directly.
The bodyweight adjustment starts with reviewed targets for a 190 lb man and a 150 lb woman. For example, the men’s Advanced target is 106 lb at 150 lb bodyweight, 124 lb at 190 lb, and 141 lb at 230 lb. That is why the calculator needs your exact bodyweight instead of using one fixed bodyweight ratio for everyone.
Elite Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover Strength Levels
Elite Bent Arm Dumbbell Pullover strength means reaching the Elite target for your sex and exact bodyweight while following the calculator’s accepted testing rules. The target increases as bodyweight increases, but not pound-for-pound, so use the calculator for your exact Elite and Stretch targets.
| Sex | Bodyweight | Elite begins | Stretch begins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men | 150 lb | 146 lb | 171 lb |
| Men | 190 lb | 171 lb | 200 lb |
