Your athleticism, in perspective
How athletic are you, really?
See how your strength, power, change of direction and endurance compare with people your age and NCAA Division I athletes. Start with any test you know.

StrengthLifts, pulling and grip
Barbell from the floor, conventional or sumo, no straps, full lockout. Enter your best recent set — a heavy set of 3-5 is safer than a true max and we estimate the single for you.
Barbell back squat, hip crease below the top of the knee, no knee wraps. Enter your best recent set.
Barbell touches the chest, no bounce, hips stay on the bench, full lockout. Enter your best recent set.
Strict standing barbell press from the shoulders to lockout — no leg drive, no layback past vertical.
Dead hang to chin over the bar, no kip. Enter added weight (0 for bodyweight) and reps. We score your estimated one-rep max — bodyweight plus added weight, scaled up for reps — so 15 bodyweight reps at 157 lb counts as roughly a 230 lb single.
Bar starts dead on the floor every rep, torso near parallel and still, bar touches the lower chest. Use a set of 3-5 — never test a true max row.
Hand dynamometer, standing, arm straight down at your side and not touching your body. Best single squeeze from either hand, in kilograms.

Health checks — optional7 pass/fail tests
Optional checks for mobility, resilience and carrying strength. These do not affect your rank.
5 controlled full-range reps
Kneeling, ankles anchored, hips extended. Lower under control all the way to the floor — at least 3 seconds, no hip break, no catching yourself early — for 5 reps. This is a demanding standard: most people lose control around 45° of lean.
45 s per side (35 s for women), long lever
Side plank with the top leg supported at the ankle on a bench, bottom leg hanging free, body in a straight line. Hold each side. The time is scaled for sex and age so the standard is equally hard for everyone.
25 full-range reps per side
One leg, fingertips on a wall for balance only, knee straight. Full height every rep at about one rep every two seconds until you can no longer reach full height. 25 is the long-standing clinical criterion for normal calf endurance.
~75% of bodyweight (65% for women) in one hand, 40 m per side
One dumbbell, kettlebell or farmer handle at your side. Walk 40 m without setting it down, leaning, or letting it rest against your leg. Repeat on the other side. The load is scaled to your sex, age and bodyweight.
Below parallel, heels down, bar over mid-foot
Empty barbell (a dowel or light bar is fine — load is not the point) locked out overhead with a wide grip. Squat until the hip crease is below the knee with heels flat, torso up and the bar staying over the middle of the foot.
4.5 in or more on both sides, within 0.75 in of each other
Barefoot lunge facing a wall. Find the farthest big-toe-to-wall distance at which your knee can still touch the wall with the heel flat. Measure both sides. The population average is about 10 cm (4 in).
Down and up with no hands, knees or forearms
From standing, sit down on the floor and stand back up without using a hand, knee, forearm or the side of a leg for support, and without losing balance. Crossing your legs is fine. This is a perfect 10 on the sitting-rising test, which predicts mortality in adults over 50.
How the rank works
Each ranked result is compared with a reference distribution for that test, then combined into a single score that weights the four categories equally — so six barbell lifts can't outvote your endurance tests.
Two populations, on purpose
General population means all adults of your sex and age — not just people who train. Most adults never touch a barbell, so consistent training puts you high on this scale quickly. D1 athletes combines published NCAA Division I team testing with modeled estimates across mainstream sports.
Honest about the data
Every percentile carries a marker: measured (direct normative data such as national grip-strength surveys), derived (converted from closely related data, like VO₂max to running performance), or modeled (estimated from indirect evidence). Results beyond the 99th percentile are shown as 99+ — the data can't support more precision than that. The full approach and every source is in the methodology.

Questions
What does my athleticism percentile mean?
It is the share of the comparison group you outperform. An 80th-percentile result against the general population means you beat roughly 80 of every 100 adults of your sex and age — including the majority who do not train at all.
Why are there two numbers?
A percentile is meaningless until you name the population. Against all adults, anyone who trains consistently looks exceptional. Against NCAA Division I athletes, almost nobody does. Showing both keeps the result honest.
Do I need to enter every test?
No. Individual test percentiles appear as you enter results. Category percentiles require more than half of the distinct ranked tests available for that comparison, except agility, where either test is enough; strength also requires upper- and lower-body measurements. The overall percentile appears once all four categories meet minimum coverage, with each category weighted equally.
How is body size accounted for?
For the general-population comparison, strength results are scaled by bodyweight using allometric scaling before they are ranked, because strength rises with size but less than proportionally. The D1 comparison is raw — you against the athletes as they are.
Where does the data come from?
National health surveys, fitness registries, published studies of college teams, and strength-standards datasets. Where no direct data exists — nobody has measured a one-rep max on a random sample of adults — we model the distribution and label the result as modeled.
