Is there some kind of mathmatical relationship like is endurance inversly proportional to limit strength? I know a lot of people that can lift about 1/3 what I can but they can lift a very light amount more times than I can.

I don't know of anything that could predict that with any reliability. People are different and train differently.

What I am saying is that endurance is relative. If you take 2 people and 1 can lift 50 lbs 200 times but his max is 150 and you take another than can lift 50 lbs 50 times and his max is 500 the weaker one is considered to have more endurance. If you increase the weight to 150 the stronger person has more endurance.

Bodybuilding.com - Calculate Your One Rep Max! <---- here's a calculator. Not sure how accurate it is, but it's something. Good luck.

What I mean is that endurance is being calculated wrong. It is better to make a graph of reps on the x axis and weight in kg on the y axis. It is a logrithmic function and calculate the area under the curve and between the x assympote. Basically use calculus to calculate the "total" endurance instead of just the endurance at a single point.

This^^^^ is actually one of the best ideas for measuring endurance I have seen, however it would take a LOOOOONG time for one to measure his/her endurance each time...

however, I wonder why this is intresting for you who are a powerlifter? your goal is to lift the maximum ammount of weight, and how much weight you can lift even twice is simply not intresting for you in a competition sense of the sport, is it?

Wat is it with you and always wanting to compare yourself with runners, endurance athletes etc? maybe you picked the wrong sport for you?

I think he should focus on figuring out his height and weight.

On April 18th, he was 5'10" and 134.

On the 19th, he was 5'7" and 215.

//www.city-data.com/forum/13800462-post12.html

On the 20th, he was 154.

//www.city-data.com/forum/13830508-post6.html

If my height and went changed that rapidly, the last thing on my mind would be how I compare to runner, endurance athletes, etc. I'd be going to the doctor to find out what's wrong with my body.
