Understanding Strength Levels
- Beginner: You can perform the movement correctly solely with your body weight or light weights.
- Novice: You have been training regularly for 3-9 months.
- Intermediate: You have been training regularly for closer to 2 years. You are stronger than most casual gym-goers.
- Advanced: You have been training for 5+ years. You are close to your genetic potential.
- Elite: You are competitive at a national or professional level.
Why Knowing Your Level Matters
Knowing where you stand helps set realistic goals. Novices can expect "linear progression" (adding weight every workout), while intermediate lifters need more complex periodization to see gains.Related Tools
