Reverse Plank Hold vs Star Plank Hold Strength Standards
Compare your reverse plank hold and star plank hold against strength standards for your sex, age range, and bodyweight. Test each exercise separately to see strength levels, next targets, and priority.
Enter one strict continuous hold time in seconds for each exercise. For the first exercise, stop the timer when the hold no longer matches this test: tabletop holds, crab holds, reverse plank leg lifts, bent-knee reverse planks. For the second exercise, hold a strict star plank hold position continuously with stable alignment, the required range, and no assistance until the timed attempt ends. Each exercise keeps its own measurement type; repetitions, seconds, and weights are never converted into one another. Age range changes only an exercise whose standards use age.
Reverse Plank Hold vs Star Plank Hold Strength Standards by Bodyweight
Each table pairs the Novice-through-Elite targets for two exercises that may use different measurements. Loads are shown in both units; repetition and hold-time standards stay in their original form.
Find the closest bodyweight row for the selected sex. Use the calculator for exact inputs, age handling, and a level-based comparison without inventing a conversion between unlike results.
Men’s Reverse Plank Hold vs Star Plank Hold Standards
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 Reverse Plank Hold vs Star Plank Hold 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 conversion between repetitions, seconds, and weight.
2. Rate the Reverse Plank Hold result
The exercise-specific tool supplies sex-, bodyweight-band-, and age-specific time thresholds plus a stretch target. The calculator uses total_seconds and keeps hold time in seconds.
3. Rate the Star Plank Hold result
The exercise-specific tool supplies sex-, bodyweight-band-, and age-specific time thresholds plus a stretch target. The calculator uses weaker_side_seconds and keeps hold time in seconds.
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 reverse plank hold hold | Compare strict hold seconds with the applicable exercise-specific thresholds without converting time into weight. Measurement: estimated one-rep max. |
| Rate the star plank hold hold | Compare strict hold seconds with the applicable exercise-specific thresholds without converting time into weight. Measurement: estimated one-rep max. |
| Compare levels | Use each exercise’s own level and next target; do not compare or divide results that use different measurements. |
How Men’s Reverse Plank Hold and Star Plank Hold Standards Differ
What the men’s standards show:
Reverse Plank Hold Elite targets100 sec → 55 sec
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 120 lb bodyweight.
Star Plank Hold Elite targets40 sec → 20 sec
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 strength 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 Reverse Plank Hold and Star Plank Hold Standards Differ
What the women’s standards show:
Reverse Plank Hold Elite targets75 sec → 40 sec
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 100 lb bodyweight.
Star Plank Hold Elite targets30 sec → 20 sec
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 strength tier and progress within that tier.
Use the calculator to apply the correct age range and exact bodyweight before comparing the two strength levels.
Reverse Plank Hold and Star Plank Hold Exercises Used by This Calculator
Valid results depend on using the specified reverse plank hold and star plank hold technique and load convention. Use strict, repeatable Reverse Plank Hold and Star Plank Hold 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.
Use the Reverse Plank Hold setup and load convention
Hold shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles in one straight face-up line with elbows and knees locked and heels grounded. Stop the timer when the hold no longer matches this test: tabletop holds, crab holds, reverse plank leg lifts, bent-knee reverse planks, or any shortcut that changes the score. Do not enter tabletop holds, crab holds, reverse plank leg lifts, bent-knee reverse planks, weighted holds. Do not combine multiple attempts into one time. Use the same setup and timing convention for retests.
Use the Star Plank Hold setup and load convention
Hold the body in a straight side-plank line while the top arm and top leg extend upward into the star position; test both sides and enter the shorter time. Stop the timer when the hold no longer matches this test: ordinary side planks, forearm star planks, Copenhagen planks, side-plank leg raises for reps, or any shortcut that changes the score. Do not enter ordinary side planks, forearm star planks, Copenhagen planks, side-plank leg raises for reps, knee-supported holds. Do not combine multiple attempts into one time. Use the same setup and timing convention for retests.
