What is HSI

Lift On Strongman HSI (Hybrid Strength Index) is an international benchmark system designed for everyone — from everyday lifters to elite athletes — to test and compare their hybrid strength capabilities.

“An international Hybrid Strength Benchmark for everyone.”

For the first time ever, HSI offers a standardized testing protocol that integrates raw strength, muscular endurance, and functional fitness — making it the most complete strength evaluation system available today.

Why "Hybrid"?

Because modern strength isn’t just about lifting heavy — it’s about how well you move, how long you last, and how your strength performs in the real world. HSI challenges your body across multiple domains:

  • Max lifts that showcase your peak power.
  • Workload capacity over time — how long can you sustain?
  • Real-life strength tasks: carry, throw, push, move.

Built for Lifters Worldwide

Whether you’re training in a commercial gym, a CrossFit box, a garage gym or a strongman arena — HSI meets you where you are. With both official offline testing and DIY at-home testing options, everyone has a path to get ranked.

And because scores are globally ranked and data-driven, you can see exactly how you compare in your category — by weight class, test type, and competition level.

Testimonials

  • ★★★★★
    As a female strength athlete, I’ve struggled to find standardized benchmarks that reflect total capability, not just 1RM lifts. HSI changed that. Now I have a clear roadmap to improve across strength, stamina, and function — and I’m ranked globally by weight class. Game-changing.
  • ★★★★★
    HSI nails what modern strength is all about. It's no longer just about the barbell — it's how well you move and last under pressure. I now use HSI protocols with my athletes to give them a data-backed structure for progress. Love how scalable and inclusive it is.
  • ★★★★★
    I train alone in my garage, but HSI made me feel part of something global. The fact that I can test myself, track progress, and compare with lifters worldwide keeps me accountable. It’s more than a test — it’s a community.
  • ★★★★★
    Integrating HSI into our gym has added a whole new level of engagement. Members love having clear, objective data — and it builds a healthy sense of competition. We now run quarterly HSI testing days. It’s become part of our gym culture.
  • ★★★★★
    I was nervous to test at first, but the DIY kit and clear instructions made it easy. I didn’t expect to love the process this much — now I want to retest in 3 months and beat my score. The competitive format really lights a fire.
