    | How much can you bench press (variation) And hoping that no one minds, here is just that question. Percentage Bodyweight is assessed as your 1RM bench press divided by bodyweight and times by 100

  | 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. |
