DB Press and Bench Press weight conversion
This is something that I've been wondering for a while. I understand that Dumbbell Press is mainly for isolating the chest and that Bench Press hits both chest and tris hard. I've been wondering, is there an equivalent amount of weight that one should be doing on one exercise that would translate to the amount of weight to the other? For example, say I can bench 210 on Bench Press, what pound DBs should I be using for DB Press to get the same intensity?
I know that adding the weight of the two dumbbells doesn't equal your best weight on the bench press so that's out.
For a real life example, I've been stuck at ~70 lbs with DB Press but for Bench Press I cap at around 180-200 (220 is my 1 rep max when I last tested). Is this an ok ratio? If not, what should I be focusing on? Thanks. Sorry if this is a silly question.
1/3 theory... Not sure...
I can do 120lb db for a set of 8 I really doubt I'm that strong that I would do 360lbs on bb... But i cant do bb because of previous surgerys to me shoulders but I do good form with my db even with the turn vertical to horizontal
