Discover Your Calisthenics Level with the Wild Dynamics Strength Test
Why knowing your level changes everything
Training gets easier when you remove guesswork. The Strength Test shows a snapshot of where you stand across skills that matter for real bodyweight performance. That clarity keeps your sessions focused, makes progress visible, and helps you avoid injuries from jumping too fast into advanced moves.
- Stay motivated by tracking a single overall level plus category scores you can improve month after month.
- Target the bottleneck that slows progress. If pull strength lags, your plan changes today.
- Build confidence with standards that reward good range and control instead of sloppy reps.
What the Strength Test actually measures
The tool evaluates four pillars of calisthenics. Each pillar contributes to your final score so you see a complete picture, not just an isolated rep count.
- Upper body strength with pull ups, dips, push ups and hanging core work.
- Lower body capacity through deep air squats, single leg progressions and a weighted option when relevant.
- Balance and mobility because clean positions and range of motion turn strength into usable skill.
- Explosive power to reflect jump mechanics and dynamic transfer that unlocks faster skills.
Under the hood the scoring blends rep quality, range and relative strength, so athletes with different body sizes get fair results.
How to take the test, step by step
Step 1
Enter your basics. Weight, height, age and sex keep the scoring honest across body types.
Step 2
Select your current abilities. Choose simple options for push, pull, dips, legs and core. If a term is unfamiliar, the glossary at the bottom explains every item in plain language.
Step 3
See instant results. You get one overall level plus four category scores, and a quick summary of strengths and next steps.
Step 4
Follow the recommendations. The tool suggests exercises and accessories that match your gaps. Keep the plan simple and consistent.
Step 5
Save and share. Download your scorecard and compare with a friend using a short code. Accountability makes training fun.
Turn scores into progress
Numbers only matter if they change what you do next. Use this simple loop to turn your results into better training.
- Focus the weakest pillar first. Improving a weak link raises your whole level faster than polishing a strength.
- Pick two focus movements per block. For pull that might be ring rows and band assisted pull ups. For push think deep pike push ups and parallel bar dips.
- Retest every 4 to 6 weeks. Keep the loop short so you adjust with fresh feedback, not assumptions.
Coach tip
Move with control and full, pain free range. If wrists are grumpy, try hard wrist wraps or soft wrist wraps. If grip slips, a little liquid chalk helps without masking technique.
Helpful gear for cleaner practice
You can take the test with no equipment. Still, a small setup makes sessions smoother and easier to track:
- Parallettes keep wrists neutral and depth consistent for push patterns and handstand work. If you are choosing your first pair, compare options in Best Calisthenics Parallettes in 2025.
- Gymnastic Rings reveal stability gaps in dips and pulls and make progress obvious as you gain control.
- Resistance Bands scale difficulty. Learn smart band progressions in the Ultimate Guide to Bands.
- When bodyweight is solid, explore weighted calisthenics with a dependable dip belt.

Privacy, accuracy and safety
Privacy. The test does not store your personal data. Inputs live on your device while you use the tool and then they are gone.
Accuracy. Scoring multipliers account for range, rep quality and relative strength so numbers feel fair across body sizes.
Safety. Technique first. If something hurts, regress, shorten the range or use assistance. Before adding heavy load, read Dip Belt Mistakes and How to Fix Them.
Ready to find your level
Open the test, answer honestly and follow the next steps the tool gives you. Keep standards clear, keep the plan simple and keep retesting. That is how athletes move from guesswork to growth.
