With the Olympics coming up soon and those of us who will follow weightlifting, keep in mind, all weights will be metric and measured in kilograms. Some of us in the States are metric-challenged and for them we have a Weight Conversion Calculator.

Another useful calculator can be found at performancemenu.com. It is a Work and Power Output Calculator.

With this calculator, you can now approximate the work and power output of any workout. The measurement results are in joules, horsepower, foot-pounds and foot-pounds/sec. A more detailed explanation can be found in issue #14 of the Performance Menu.

Admittedly, the Work/Power Output calc is a bit on geeky side, but if you are a stat guy, you’ll probably enjoy it.
