Single-Arm Cable Pushdown vs Tate Press Strength Standards
Compare your single arm cable triceps pushdown and dumbbell tate press against strength standards for your sex and bodyweight. Test each lift with 1–12 strict reps to see estimated one-rep maxes, strength levels, next targets, and priority.
First lift: weight used and 1–12 strict reps. Second lift: weight used and 1–12 strict reps. Pounds or kilograms. For the first exercise, extend one elbow from a stable upper-arm position to a controlled triceps lockout and return without shoulder drive, torso lean, stack bounce, or shortened range. For the second exercise, lower the dumbbells inward under control, press them back to a clear triceps lockout, and avoid bouncing, chest-press groove, partials, or assisted reps. Each lift is compared with its own standards, so the heavier lift is not automatically the stronger one.

How Your Single Arm Cable Triceps Pushdown vs Dumbbell Tate Press 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
The entered weight is used directly for one rep. With 2–12 reps, both estimates are compared and the lower value is used.
- Epley: weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30)
- Brzycki: weight × 36 ÷ (37 − reps)
Set quality matters for this Single Arm Cable Triceps Pushdown vs Dumbbell Tate Press comparison. Enter technically consistent, challenging sets, and prefer lower-rep results when practical because the estimate extends less far beyond the performed set.
2. Find the single arm cable triceps pushdown strength level
The standards use the sex-specific thresholds from the individual Single Arm Cable Triceps Pushdown 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 dumbbell tate press strength level
The dumbbell tate press rating uses its sex-specific exercise standards. Reference targets at 190 lb for men and 150 lb for women are scaled to the entered bodyweight by reference target × (user bodyweight ÷ reference bodyweight) to the two-thirds power.
Two-thirds scaling raises the target as bodyweight rises while limiting the size advantage that a direct one-to-one adjustment would create.
4. Compare the two results
Each max receives a level from Beginner through Elite. The lower-level lift becomes the priority. At matching levels, a priority appears only when one lift is at least 10 points farther from its next level; otherwise the result is Balanced.
Treat the result as a training comparison rather than an explanation of why one lift trails. Set quality, fatigue, skill, and training exposure all matter. Age range is recorded anonymously but does not change these standards.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Estimate each max | Use the entered weight for 1 rep; for 2–12 reps, keep the lower formula result. |
| Rate the single arm cable triceps pushdown | Use the exercise-specific estimated max and adjust targets to exact bodyweight with the two-thirds scaling rule. |
| Rate the dumbbell tate press | Use the exercise-specific estimated max and adjust targets to exact bodyweight with the two-thirds scaling rule. |
| Compare different levels | Name the lower-level lift as the priority. |
| Compare matching levels | Use Balanced unless the difference in progress toward the next level reaches 10 points. |
How Men’s Single Arm Cable Triceps Pushdown and Dumbbell Tate Press Standards Differ
How to read both charts: Choose a strength level, find bodyweight along the bottom, and follow that level’s line. Zero means the two standards are equal. Above zero means the dumbbell tate press standard is higher; below zero means the single arm cable triceps pushdown standard is higher. On a phone, swipe the chart left and right to inspect the full-size lines and labels. The tables provide the exact pounds and kilograms.
What the men’s data shows:
The standards come closest at 120 lb.
Across all listed bodyweights, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite keep the same higher-target direction.
At Elite, the difference is 10.9 kg at 120 lb and 19.5 kg at 300 lb.
How to read the table: Every number is the dumbbell tate press standard minus the single arm cable triceps pushdown standard. A plus sign means the dumbbell tate press standard is higher. A minus sign means the single arm cable triceps pushdown standard is higher.
