Hanging Knee Raise vs Lying Leg Raise Strength Standards
Compare your hanging knee raise and lying leg raise 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 total strict reps from one continuous set for each exercise. Use one continuous unassisted bodyweight hanging knee raise set from a full reset to the approved top position; use one continuous bodyweight lying leg raise set with the trunk supported and controlled top and bottom positions. Repetitions are never converted into weight. Each exercise keeps its own measurement type. Age range changes only an exercise whose standards use age.
Hanging Knee Raise vs Lying Leg Raise 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 Your Hanging Knee Raise vs Lying Leg Raise 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 Hanging Knee Raise result
Sex-, bodyweight-band-, and age-specific repetition thresholds map the strict set to a canonical strength tier; no reps-to-weight conversion is used. The calculator uses one continuous unassisted bodyweight hanging knee raise set scored by total strict reps and does not convert the repetitions into an estimated weight.
3. Rate the Lying Leg Raise result
Sex-, bodyweight-band-, and age-specific repetition thresholds map the strict set to a canonical strength tier; no reps-to-weight conversion is used. The calculator uses one continuous bodyweight lying leg raise set scored by total strict reps 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 hanging knee raise | Rate one continuous strict bodyweight hanging knee raise set without converting repetitions into weight. Measurement: Total strict reps. |
| Rate the lying leg raise | Rate one continuous strict bodyweight lying leg raise set without converting repetitions into weight. Measurement: Total strict reps. |
| Compare levels | Use each exercise’s own level and next target; do not compare or divide results that use different measurements. |
How Men’s Hanging Knee Raise and Lying Leg Raise Standards Differ
What the men’s standards show:
Hanging Knee Raise Elite targets80 reps → 40 reps
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 120 lb bodyweight.
Lying Leg Raise Elite targets115 reps → 58 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 Hanging Knee Raise and Lying Leg Raise Standards Differ
What the women’s standards show:

Hanging Knee Raise and Lying Leg Raise Exercises Used by This Calculator
This calculator uses a strict bodyweight hanging knee raise and a strict bodyweight lying leg raise. Use one continuous strict hanging knee raise set and one continuous strict lying leg raise set under each tool’s support, range, reset, and counting rules. Do not convert reps to weight or substitute hanging leg raises, toes-to-bar, captain-chair raises, swinging reps, V-ups, reverse crunches, weighted reps, partial reps, or combined sets.
Count one continuous strict hanging set
Hang from a fixed bar, raise both knees without swinging, and lower under control to a full reset. Do not count hanging leg raises, toes-to-bar, captain-chair, swinging, weighted, partial, or combined-set reps.
Count one continuous controlled supine set
Keep the trunk supported, raise both extended legs to the approved top position, and lower to the approved bottom reset. Do not count hanging, captain-chair, V-up, reverse-crunch, weighted, partial, or combined-set reps.
