Re: How much can you bench press (variation)
The "percentage of your bodyweight" calculation favours lighter people disproportionately, and is not used in competitive powerlifting or Olympic lifting to find out who's been the best lifter.

We use formulae such as "wilks" - google em' up to see how your numbers stack up against different bodyweight lifters.
