Bodyweight Push Ups vs Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly

Compare your bodyweight push-ups and single arm dumbbell rear delt fly against strength standards for your sex, age range, and bodyweight. Test each exercise separately to see strength levels, next targets, and priority.

First exercise: Total strict reps. Second exercise: Total external load and a whole number from 1 to 12 reps. Use the units shown. For the first exercise, keep a rigid plank, lower to roughly 90-degree elbow flexion or near-floor chest height, and press to full lockout. For the second exercise, move the dumbbell outward and back through shoulder horizontal abduction to a clear rear-delt fly top range, then lower under control to the same bottom position without rowing. Repetitions are never converted into weight. Each exercise keeps its own measurement type. Age range changes only an exercise whose standards use age.

Bodyweight Push-Ups vs Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly Strength Standards

The men’s and women’s tables show the exact Novice-through-Elite targets for both exercises. Weight-based targets use bodyweight and display actual pounds and kilograms. Repetition and time standards keep their exercise-specific units and use age only when the individual exercise standards require it.

Age and bodyweight are never combined as row dimensions. Internal bodyweight-ratio scores are never displayed. When the exercises use unlike measurements, the table presents an explicit reference crosswalk instead of inventing a conversion.

Men’s Push-Ups vs Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly Standards

Reference crosswalk: Unlike measurements are not subtracted or converted. Each column states its own reference and preserves the exercise’s real unit.

How Your Bodyweight Push-Ups vs Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly Result Is Calculated

The two exercises can use different measurements. The calculator rates each result against the standards for that exercise first, then compares the resulting strength levels and progress toward the next level. It never invents a reps-to-weight conversion.

1. Estimate the weight-based result

For Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly, one rep uses the weight entered. For 2–12 reps, the calculator runs both estimates and keeps the lower result.

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

For a useful Bodyweight Push-Ups vs Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly comparison, use clean, recent sets performed with consistent technique and range of motion. Lower-rep sets usually require less extrapolation.

2. Rate the Push-Ups result

Sex- and age-specific repetition thresholds map the strict set to a exercise-specific strength tier; no reps-to-weight conversion is used. The calculator uses one continuous strict standard floor push-up set scored by total reps and does not convert the repetitions into an estimated weight.

3. Rate the Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly result

The standards use the sex-specific thresholds from the individual Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly tool. The target adjusts to bodyweight using reference target × (user bodyweight ÷ reference bodyweight) to the two-thirds power.

4. Compare strength level and progress

The lower strength level is the priority. When both exercises reach the same level, a priority appears only when one is at least 10 points farther from its next target. Otherwise, the result is Balanced. Age range changes only the exercise whose standards include age; it remains an analytics field for the other exercise.

StageWhat happens
Rate the push-upRate one continuous strict bodyweight floor push-up set without converting repetitions into weight. Measurement: Total strict reps.
Rate the single arm dumbbell rear delt flyUse the exercise-specific estimated max and adjust targets to exact bodyweight with the two-thirds scaling rule. Measurement: estimated one-rep max.
Compare levelsUse each exercise’s own level and next target; do not compare or divide results that use different measurements.

How Men’s Bodyweight Push-Ups and Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly Standards Differ

What the men’s standards show:

Push-Ups Elite targets36 reps → 13 reps

Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 120 lb bodyweight.

Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly Elite targets22 lb → 41 lb

Elite weight targets from 120 to 300 lb bodyweight.

Comparison boundaryStrength level first

Raw repetitions, seconds, and weights are not divided or converted. The calculator compares each exercise’s strength tier and progress within that tier.

Bodyweight Push-Ups and Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly Exercises Used by This Calculator

The calculator expects repeatable bodyweight push-ups and single arm dumbbell rear delt fly results. Follow each exercise definition below so the two ratings are based on valid tests. Use strict, repeatable Bodyweight Push-Ups and Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly tests that follow each exercise’s setup, range of motion, equipment, and load rules. Do not mix variations, assistance, partial range, momentum, or different load conventions.

Count one continuous full-range floor set

Keep a rigid plank, lower to roughly 90-degree elbow flexion or near-floor chest height, and press to full lockout. Do not count knee, incline, decline, weighted, assisted, partial, plyometric, sagged, piked, or floor-rested reps.

Use the Single Arm Dumbbell Rear Delt Fly setup and load convention

Entered load is the weight of the one dumbbell moved by one arm at a time. Total valid reps across both arms combined. Move the dumbbell outward and back through shoulder horizontal abduction to a clear rear-delt fly top range, then lower under control to the same bottom position without rowing. A valid finish requires posterior-shoulder control without shrug-only motion, lat-row mechanics, excessive arm bend, trunk heave, or swinging. Consistent setup, range, and finish quality across the entered set. No substituted exercise or assisted reps.
