START WITH YOUR NUMBERS

What are you lifting?

Use successful 1-rep maxes from the same recent training period. Full-depth squats and complete competition lifts.

Add clean & rack jerk maxes (optional)

Use the same training period and unit. Leave blank if untested. These help separate clean capacity from jerk capacity.

How this assessment works

Each ratio is one lift divided by another. The shaded strip is a reference band, not a pass/fail target or percentile. Snatch/back squat (60–65%), clean & jerk/back squat (75–80%) and front/back squat (85–90%) are broad working heuristics chosen for this tool. They are not validated diagnostic cutoffs.

Snatch/clean & jerk (78–83%) and clean & jerk/front squat (85–90%) draw on coaching guidance from Greg Everett / Catalyst Athletics and this ratio discussion. No affiliation or endorsement is implied. Body proportions, training age, speed, squat style and testing dates all matter.

Use pain-free, previously established lifts; no new max testing is required. A coach observing your lifts is needed for a technique assessment.
