Landmine Deadlift vs Trap Bar Deadlift Strength Standards

Landmine Deadlift vs Trap Bar Deadlift Strength Standards

The paired standards below show what the landmine deadlift and trap bar deadlift each require at the same strength level. They are separate exercise targets rather than a prescribed difference between your lifts.

Select the appropriate sex table and nearest bodyweight, then choose a strength-level column. Values are ordered Landmine Deadlift / Trap Bar Deadlift in pounds with kilograms underneath. The calculator above handles exact bodyweight and set inputs.

Men’s Landmine Deadlift vs Trap Bar Deadlift Standards

How to read the table: Find the closest bodyweight, then use the labeled exercise row. Every strength-level entry shows one target with pounds first and kilograms beneath it.

Women’s Landmine Deadlift vs Trap Bar Deadlift Standards

How to read the table: Find the closest bodyweight, then use the labeled exercise row. Every strength-level entry shows one target with pounds first and kilograms beneath it.

How Your Landmine Deadlift vs Trap Bar Deadlift Result Is Calculated

Both lifts are scored independently first: estimated max, bodyweight-adjusted strength level, and progress toward the next level. Those ratings drive the comparison.

1. Estimate a one-rep max from each set

A one-rep set uses the entered weight. For 2–12 reps, both formulas are calculated and the lower estimate is retained.

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

For the most useful Landmine Deadlift vs Trap Bar Deadlift comparison, enter clean, difficult sets performed with the same technique and range of motion you use in training. Lower-rep sets usually require less extrapolation.

2. Find the landmine deadlift strength level

The standards use the sex-specific thresholds from the individual Landmine Deadlift tool. Targets begin at 190 lb for men and 150 lb for women, then adjust to exact bodyweight with reference target × (user bodyweight ÷ reference bodyweight) to the two-thirds power.

The target rises more slowly than bodyweight so larger lifters are expected to lift more without requiring strength to increase pound for pound.

3. Find the trap bar deadlift strength level

For trap bar deadlift, the individual exercise thresholds start from reference bodyweights of 190 lb for men and 150 lb for women. Exact-bodyweight targets use reference target × (user bodyweight ÷ reference bodyweight) to the two-thirds power.

The target rises more slowly than bodyweight so heavier lifters are expected to lift more without requiring strength to increase pound for pound.

4. Compare the two results

Strength level decides the comparison first. Matching levels remain Balanced unless progress toward the next target differs by at least 10 points.

The result identifies the lower standards rating, not its cause. Technique, fatigue, training history, and set quality can all affect the comparison. Age range is recorded anonymously but does not change these standards.

Use the calculator above to view both estimated maxes, strength levels, next targets, and the resulting priority or Balanced verdict.

How Men’s Landmine Deadlift and Trap Bar Deadlift Standards Differ

How to read this chart: Choose a strength level and follow its line across bodyweight. Values show the Trap Bar Deadlift standard minus the Landmine Deadlift standard: zero means equal, above zero means the Trap Bar Deadlift standard is higher, and below zero means the Landmine Deadlift standard is higher.

Landmine Deadlift and Trap Bar Deadlift Exercises Used by This Calculator

Compare like-for-like attempts by keeping the landmine deadlift and trap bar deadlift setup consistent with their individual rules. Use strict, repeatable Landmine Deadlift and Trap Bar Deadlift tests that follow each exercise’s setup, range of motion, equipment, and weight-entry rules. Do not mix variations, assistance, partial range, momentum, or different weight conventions.

Use the Landmine Deadlift setup and load convention

The total loaded free-end landmine weight used for the set. Strict free-end landmine deadlift reps. Pull the loaded free end of the anchored bar from the accepted bottom position to full standing control, keeping the angled bar path stable and avoiding bounced, hitched, rowed, or raised-block substitutions. Consistent setup, range, and finish quality across the entered set. No substituted exercise or assisted reps.

Use a strict, repeatable Trap Bar Deadlift

High-handle trap bar deadlift only. Strapless, neutral grip, from floor to lockout. Load entered is total external load on the trap bar. If reps > 1 are entered, 1RM is estimated using the Epley/Brzycki blend. No age adjustment applied; adult lifter standards (18–50). Percentiles are tier-anchored approximations, not precise population statistics. Enter total external weight. Keep the same equipment and setup when retesting.

Enter one recent Landmine Deadlift result and one recent Trap Bar Deadlift result

Use the correct input for each exercise: Total barbell load and a whole number from 1 to 12 reps for Landmine Deadlift and Total external weight and a whole number from 1 to 12 reps for Trap Bar Deadlift.
