The formula to calculate the Bench to Weight Ratio is:
\[
R = \frac{B}{W}
\]
Where:
\( R \) is the Bench to Weight Ratio
\( B \) is the Bench Press Weight in pounds (lbs)
\( W \) is the Body Weight in pounds (lbs)
Definition
Bench to Weight Ratio: A measure of strength that compares the amount of weight a person can bench press to their body weight. It is a useful metric for athletes and fitness enthusiasts to gauge their upper body strength relative to their size.
Bench Press Weight (B): The weight lifted during a bench press, measured in pounds.
Body Weight (W): The weight of the individual, measured in pounds.
Significance: A higher ratio indicates greater strength relative to body weight, while a lower ratio suggests that there may be room for improvement in strength training.
Example
Let's say the bench press weight (B) is 150 lbs and the body weight (W) is 180 lbs. Using the formula:
\[
R = \frac{150}{180} = 0.83
\]
So, the Bench to Weight Ratio (R) is 0.83.

Power to Weight Ratio Bench Press
Definition: The ratio of the power generated during a bench press to the body weight.
Formula: \( P = \frac{B \times g}{W} \)
\( P \): Power to weight ratio
\( B \): Bench press weight
\( g \): Gravitational constant (9.81 m/s²)
\( W \): Body weight
Example: \( P = \frac{100 \times 9.81}{70} \)
\( P \): Power to weight ratio
\( B \): 100 kg
\( g \): 9.81 m/s²
\( W \): 70 kg
