Bench To Weight Ratio

These barbell standards include the weight of the bar normally 20 kg.

Bench to weight ratio. Strength to weight ratios can be different for various lifts and muscle groups. See how the maximum weight you can bench press for a single repetition compares to that of other men in your age group. Swr 210 200 1 05. A 200 pound man who bench presses 210 pounds lifts more weight but when you figure his strength to weight ratio it s lower.

The average weight most adult men and women can bench press depends on age fitness level and other factors. Show bodyweight ratios bw beg. First divide the weight you lift by your bodyweight. For instance if you are able to barbell bench press 200 pounds for 5 reps it is extremely unlikely that you d be able to dumbbell bench press 100 pounds in each hand.

Using the bench press test table below. For example if you bench press 300 pounds at a bodyweight of 200 pounds the weight you lift as a proportion of your bodyweight is 300 200 1 50. A male performing at an intermediate level should lift 185 pounds. Bench press 13 342 000 lifts squat 7 645 000 lifts deadlift 7 719 000 lifts shoulder press 1 914 000 lifts barbell curl 916 000 lifts military press 321 000 lifts bent over row 604 000 lifts incline bench press 440 000.

On average most people are able to lift roughly 20 more with a barbell compared to the combined weight of 2 dumbbells on the same basic exercise. For example bench press standards for a man who weighs 165 pounds who is untrained 120 pounds while an elite athlete at the same weight has a goal of 320 pounds. In this example we use the brzycki equation to calculate the one rep max 1rm for someone who performs 10 reps lifting 135 lbs.
