Weighted Push-Ups (standard) vs Tiger Bend Push-Ups

Compare your weighted push-up and tiger bend push-ups against strength standards for your sex, age range, and bodyweight. Test each exercise separately to see strength levels, next targets, and priority.

First exercise: Added weight and a whole number from 1 to 12 reps. Second exercise: Strict continuous Tiger Bend Push-Ups reps. Use the units shown. For the first exercise, keep a straight line from shoulders to heels, lower the sternum to roughly two to three inches from the floor. For the second exercise, lower to the bottom push-up, shift both forearms to the floor, drive back to the bottom push-up without separating the hands, then press to full lockout. Repetitions are never converted into weight. Each exercise keeps its own measurement type. Age range changes only an exercise whose standards use age.

Weighted Push-Ups vs Tiger Bend Push-Ups Strength Standards

The men’s and women’s tables show the exact Novice-through-Elite targets for both exercises. Weight-based targets use bodyweight and display actual pounds and kilograms. Repetition and time standards keep their exercise-specific units and use age only when the individual exercise standards require it.

Age and bodyweight are never combined as row dimensions. Internal bodyweight-ratio scores are never displayed. When the exercises use unlike measurements, the table presents an explicit reference crosswalk instead of inventing a conversion.

Men’s Weighted Push-Ups vs Tiger Bend Push-Ups Standards

Reference crosswalk: Unlike measurements are not subtracted or converted. Each column states its own reference and preserves the exercise’s real unit.

How Your Weighted Push-Ups vs Tiger Bend Push-Ups 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.

1. Estimate the weight-based result

For Weighted Push-Ups, one rep uses the weight entered. For 2–12 reps, the calculator runs both estimates and keeps the lower result.

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

For a useful Weighted Push-Ups vs Tiger Bend Push-Ups comparison, use clean, recent sets performed with consistent technique and range of motion. Lower-rep sets usually require less extrapolation.

2. Rate the Weighted Push-Ups result

The individual weighted push-up tool supplies sex-specific standards for estimated added weight divided by bodyweight. Novice through Elite use the exercise-specific added-weight-to-bodyweight thresholds. No unsupported Stretch target is added above Elite.

3. Rate the Tiger Bend Push-Ups result

The exercise-specific 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.

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.

StageWhat happens
Rate the weighted push-upUse the weighted push-up added-weight standards directly without changing their specialized bodyweight method. Measurement: estimated one-rep max.
Rate the tiger bend push-ups setCompare strict repetitions with the applicable exercise-specific thresholds without an estimated-max conversion. Measurement: Strict continuous Tiger Bend Push-Ups reps.
Compare levelsUse each exercise’s own level and next target; do not compare or divide results that use different measurements.

How Men’s Weighted Push-Ups and Tiger Bend Push-Ups Standards Differ

What the men’s standards show:

Weighted Push-Ups Elite targets72 lb → 180 lb

Elite weight targets from 120 to 300 lb bodyweight.

Tiger Bend Push-Ups Elite targets26 reps → 13 reps

Elite direct-performance targets from the youngest to oldest listed age range at 120 lb bodyweight.

Weighted Push-Ups and Tiger Bend Push-Ups Exercises Used by This Calculator

For a useful comparison, perform a strict weighted push-up and a strict tiger bend push-ups using the setup and load rules below. Use strict, repeatable Weighted Push-Ups and Tiger Bend Push-Ups 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 strict weighted push-ups and enter added weight only

Keep a straight line from shoulders to heels, lower the sternum to roughly two to three inches from the floor, and finish every rep at full elbow lockout while the added weight stays fixed. Enter only the external load, not bodyweight plus load. Do not enter knee, incline, decline, bench, box, partial, kipping, rest-pause, sagging, or pike push-ups.

Use the Tiger Bend Push-Ups setup and load convention

Lower to the bottom push-up, shift both forearms to the floor, drive back to the bottom push-up without separating the hands, then press to full lockout. Stop when the rep no longer matches this test: sphinx push-ups, Russian push-ups under alternate rules, ordinary push-ups, dive bomber push-ups, or any shortcut that changes the score. Do not count sphinx push-ups, Russian push-ups under alternate rules, ordinary push-ups, dive bomber push-ups, tiger bend handstand push-ups. Do not combine multiple sets into one score. Use the same setup, range rule, and rep-counting convention for retests.

Enter one recent Weighted Push-Ups result and one recent Tiger Bend Push-Ups result

First exercise: Added weight and a whole number from 1 to 12 reps. Second exercise: Strict continuous Tiger Bend Push-Ups reps. Use the units shown.
