What do you consider to be a good strength/power for the following exercises as a percentage of your bodyweight:
- Bench Press
- Squats
- Deadlift
- Barbell Curls
- Barbell Rows
- Barbell Press
You can answer in a variety of ways, either as 1 Rep Max or saying 3 sets of 12 reps etc if you think muscular endurance is an important factor. Or both if you want.
I'm just wondering what people consider a good level of muscular ability compared to ones bodyweight.
edit-
If it helps you estimate, say a 90kg man/200lbs should bench x squat y and deadlift z

And I'm guessing around 75% of your BW for a BB Curl would be considered strong
