Sources & methodology
The level thresholds are Vytrix choices, informed by publicly available power standards. The Epley formula estimates an 1RM from weight and reps; research on multiple-RM testing does not automatically validate the full Vytrix score.

Strength Score does not adjust for age, gender-specific strength curves or training experience. It's a progress tracker — an increasing score over weeks means you're getting stronger. Comparison between different lifters is not the purpose of the score.
