V Ups vs Hollow Body Hold Strength Standards
Compare your v ups and hollow body hold 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.
Use each exercise's canonical input: Strict repetitions for V Ups and No external load for Hollow Body Hold. Use start lying supine in the approved extended position, lift the trunk and legs simultaneously toward a clear V position, and return under control to the extended reset before the next rep.; use a strict, repeatable hollow body hold test using the canonical setup, range, and finish rules. 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.
V Ups vs Hollow Body Hold 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 V Ups vs Hollow Body 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 V Ups result
The canonical tool supplies sex-, bodyweight-band-, and age-specific repetition thresholds plus a stretch target. The calculator uses strict continuous bodyweight repetitions and does not convert the repetitions into an estimated weight.
3. Rate the Hollow Body Hold result
The canonical time thresholds map the strict hold to a strength tier; no time-to-weight conversion is used. The calculator uses one continuous strict hollow body hold hold scored in 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 v ups set | Compare strict repetitions with the applicable canonical thresholds without an estimated-max conversion. Measurement: Strict continuous V Ups reps. |
| Rate the hollow body hold | Rate strict hollow body hold hold time without converting seconds 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 V Ups and Hollow Body Hold Standards Differ
What the men’s standards show:
V Ups Elite targets95 reps → 48 reps
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 120 lb bodyweight.
Hollow Body Hold Elite targets140 sec → 75 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 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 V Ups and Hollow Body Hold Standards Differ
What the women’s standards show:
V Ups Elite targets88 reps → 44 reps
Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 100 lb bodyweight.
Hollow Body Hold Elite targets120 sec → 65 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 canonical tier and progress within that tier.
Use the calculator to apply the correct age range and exact bodyweight before comparing the two strength levels.
V Ups and Hollow Body Hold Exercises Used by This Calculator
This calculator uses a strict v ups test and a strict hollow body hold. Use strict canonical V Ups and Hollow Body Hold tests. Do not mix variations, assistance, partial range, momentum, or different load conventions.
Use the canonical V Ups setup and load convention
start lying supine in the approved extended position, lift the trunk and legs simultaneously toward a clear V position, and return under control to the extended reset before the next rep. Stop when the rep no longer matches this test: sit-ups, crunches, tuck-ups, hollow holds, or any shortcut that changes the score. Do not count sit-ups, crunches, tuck-ups, hollow holds, hollow rocks. Do not combine multiple sets into one score. Use the same setup, range rule, and rep-counting convention for retests.
Use a strict, repeatable Hollow Body Hold
Follow the individual Hollow Body Hold calculator’s canonical setup, load convention, range of motion, and finish rules. Keep the same setup when retesting.
Enter one recent V Ups result and one recent Hollow Body Hold result
Use each exercise’s canonical input: Strict repetitions for V Ups and No external load for Hollow Body Hold.
