A body fat calculator based on lifts is a fitness tool that estimates an individual’s body fat percentage using a series of strength-based exercises. For example, by entering the amount of weight lifted in specific exercises, such as the bench press and squat, the calculator can provide an estimate of the lifter’s body fat percentage.
This type of calculator is gaining popularity due to its ease of use, non-invasive nature, and ability to provide a more accurate estimate than traditional methods like body mass index (BMI). Historically, body composition measurement has relied on underwater weighing, a complex and expensive technique. Body fat calipers and bioelectrical impedance analysis have since emerged as more accessible options.
