FAQ

What is a good tricep pushdown for a 180 lb man?

Around 101 lb reaches Intermediate on the Strenf ladder; 182 lb is Elite. Thresholds scale with bodyweight — see the full table.

How are these tricep pushdown standards calculated?

From a documented coefficient applied to measured competition standards: 0.5x bench (M) / 0.52x (F) — cable stack, ~half of bench. Tiers run Beginner, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Elite, adjusted for sex, bodyweight and age.

Yes — standards are age-adjusted using strength-retention curves derived from Masters competition results, so a 55-year-old is graded against age-appropriate expectations.
