Commando Pull Ups vs Pull Ups Strength Standards
Compare your commando pull-ups and strict pull-up against strength standards for your sex, age range, and bodyweight. Enter one recent result for each exercise to see your strength levels, next target, and which exercise is the priority.
Neither exercise uses external load. Enter strict weaker-side commando reps and strict unbroken standard pull-up reps under their separate counting rules. Use strict bodyweight commando pull-ups from full extension to head-clearance on each tested side, scored by the lower side; use one unbroken set of strict pronated-grip dead-hang pull-ups. Repetitions are never converted into weight. Each exercise keeps its own measurement type. Age range changes only an exercise whose standards use age.
Commando Pull Ups vs Pull Ups Strength Standards by Bodyweight
These tables show the minimum result each exercise needs to reach Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite. Weight-based standards are shown in pounds and kilograms. Direct-performance standards remain strict repetitions or seconds and show every applicable age range.
Find your bodyweight in the men’s or women’s table, then read across the strength levels. Results measured in weight, repetitions, or seconds are not meant to match and are never converted into one another. Use the calculator for your exact inputs and a direct comparison of the strength levels.

How to read the table: Each table entry lists the minimum result for both exercises. Weight-based targets show pounds and kilograms; direct-performance targets show strict repetitions or seconds for each age range. Scroll horizontally on smaller screens.

How Your Commando Pull Ups vs Pull Ups 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.
2. Rate the Commando Pull Ups result
Sex-, bodyweight-band-, and age-specific repetition thresholds map the weaker-side count to a canonical strength tier; no reps-to-weight conversion is used. The calculator uses strict mixed-grip commando pull-ups scored by the lower matching side count and does not convert the repetitions into an estimated weight.
3. Rate the Pull-Ups result
Sex-specific repetition thresholds map the strict set to a canonical strength tier; age is context only and no reps-to-weight conversion is used. The calculator uses one unbroken set of strict pronated-grip dead-hang pull-ups and does not convert the repetitions into an estimated weight.
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.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Rate the commando pull-up | Rate one strict bodyweight commando pull-up test without converting repetitions into weight. Measurement: Strict reps on weaker side. |
| Rate the strict pull-up | Rate strict bodyweight repetitions without converting them into weight. Measurement: Strict unbroken pull-ups. |
| Compare levels | Use each exercise’s own level and next target; do not compare or divide results that use different measurements. |
How Men’s Commando Pull Ups and Pull Ups Standards Differ
What the men’s standards show:
Commando Pull Ups Elite targets26 reps → 13 reps
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 120 lb bodyweight.
Pull-Ups Elite targets18 reps → 18 reps
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 120 lb bodyweight.
Comparison boundaryStrength level first
Raw repetitions, seconds, and weights are not divided or converted. The calculator compares each exercise’s canonical tier and progress within that tier.
The exact table above is the correct way to inspect direct or unlike measurements. A pounds-difference chart would be invalid because repetitions, seconds, and estimated weight do not share a unit.
How Women’s Commando Pull Ups and Pull Ups Standards Differ
What the women’s standards show:
Commando Pull Ups Elite targets15 reps → 8 reps
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 100 lb bodyweight.
Pull-Ups Elite targets10 reps → 10 reps
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 100 lb bodyweight.
Comparison boundaryStrength level first
Raw repetitions, seconds, and weights are not divided or converted. The calculator compares each exercise’s canonical tier and progress within that tier.

Commando Pull Ups and Pull Ups Exercises Used by This Calculator
This calculator uses a strict bodyweight commando pull-up and a strict bodyweight pull-up. Use a strict mixed-grip commando pull-up test scored by the lower matching side and one unbroken strict pronated pull-up set. Do not convert reps to weight or substitute chin-ups, one-sided-only totals, weighted, assisted, kipped, partial, rested, or combined-set reps.
Test both sides and score the lower matching count
Use a mixed grip beside the bar, pull until the head clears to each tested side, and return to full extension. Score the lower matching side count. Do not count standard, chin-up, kipped, assisted, partial, weighted, one-sided-only, or combined-set reps.
Count one unbroken strict dead-hang set
Use a pronated grip, full arm extension at the bottom, and chin clearly above the bar at the top. Enter strict bodyweight reps only. Do not count kipping, hip drive, leg swing, assistance, added weight, partial reps, or rests.
Enter one Commando Pull Ups result and one Pull Ups result
Enter the lower matching strict side count for Commando Pull Ups and total strict reps from one unbroken pronated set for Pull Ups, with no external load.
