    Ration of body weight to squat lift/ deadlift/ benchpress

    I'm trying to monitor my improvements and have been tracking this for a while, and started thinking if there is a general ratio for weightlifters.

    So here it is. My stats are as the footnote. I currently weigh 195lbs.

    Squat to bodyweight ratio: 1.18:1 for 6 reps
    Deadlift to bodyweight ratio: 1.35:1 9 reps
    Bench to bodyweight ratio: 1.13:1 for 4 reps

    I'm going to try for my 1RM in 2 weeks, and will see how that compares to the above. But I wonder if there is a standard ratio for most people?

    To work it out, simply take your weight you lift at and divide it by your bodyweight.

    Its going to vary for everyone. If you take elite powerlfiters you get numbers as high as 4xbw/5xbw for some lifts if you take a 35 year old guy who has been lifting at a gym for a few months all could be below bw. I belieev they have ratios in terms of poor average good elite somewhere but they really don't mean much. You could gain zero strength and just lose a few lbs of fat and completely change all your ratios :P

    could someone please explain those numbers to me. if im reading them correctly, 1.13:1 means benching BW plus 13% or 1.13% BW, correct. i just want to make sure

    I think he means 113% bodyweight

    For example:
    Person weighs 200lbs

    200lbs x 1.13 = 226lbs


    With the link I posted, this weight would have somebody in the intermediate range on bench press standards. So not shabby by any means, but not an advanced lifter either.

    It varies way too much dude, there are triple bodyweight raw benches out there.

    Right now, the best pl total by bodyweight is over 13 times bodyweight. The guy weighed in at the 198 class and squatted 1055, benched 825, and deadlifted 750. This guy might have gotten a lot out of his equipment (Based on the low dl), but you get the idea.
    Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.

    Lift the damn weight, and eat the damn food. It's as hard and as complicated as you make it.

    The estimated 1RM for your lifts would be:

    Squat: 327
    Bench: 243
    Deadlift: 221 (but it would have been better had you done this at the beginning of the workout)

    Again, these are just estimates, but when you are in the 2-4 rep range, you can safely say that the 1RM is likely to be pretty close to those numbers. At 175, those numbers are pretty good. Your bench and squat are in between the intermediate and advanced standards, but your dead is in between un-trained and novice (but then again, it was at the end of a workout, so that will definitely affect the numbers)

    Was the guy like 4 feet tall?

    I weigh about 190 now... are we talkin 1RM? My 5RM is 325 on the squat, 335 on deadlift and 215 on the bench.
    Intensity, Recovery, Nutrition, Sleep- the only things that matter.

    I think theyd be higher now because those were from a while back. then i was doing 1 armed pushups with 15lbs attached to me 2 or 3 single leg squats with squats(75lbs vest) for 12 reps. now im doing 15+ pistols 25+ quick paced squats with vest and about 8 1 armed pushups with 75lbs vest. would be very interesting to see what i could do now hahaha

    The Old School strength standards state :

    Overhead Press--bodyweight
    Bench Press--1 1/2 X bw
    Back Squat-- 2 X bw
    Deadlift-- 2 1/2 X bw

    These are single-rep.

    i'd say no because your head would limit rom. press rom is from clavicles to lockout.

    i'd imagine the overhead press is ironwill's post is done standing too.

    Yep this or this.

    Or you can aim for the 500 DL, 400 squat, 300 bench marks which is also a good goal.

    It really depends if you want to go for highest total, as fraction of bodyweight, or whatever else.

    Find your own goals or make your own goals and then train towards them!

    Strong disbelief at all the people who claim to have squats higher than their deadlifts.

    If you can only deadlift 200-something pounds, there is NO WAY you are squatting over 300 pounds with a full range of motion.

    Huh, those errx numbers are pretty helpful.

    Especially for women. I was going to take my girl and show her deadlifts. So starting at 100 pounds would not be a smart idea.

    I do agree with you, but as i said, it was at the END of my workout(2 hours). by the time i got to deadlifts it was well over an hour later and had done squats, another leg machine*honestly dont know it name its like a reverse angled squat?) calf raises, plus plyomeric jumping about 3 1/2 feet. plus my upper body workout. ontop of that.

    that and honestly i dont ever do deadlifts only yime iv done them fresh was for max lifts in football, and they were usually higher than my squats. other than that i ont do them unfortonatly cuz ever gym iv been to didnt have a space t do them

    I can squat more than I can deadlift, but then again I don't incorporate deadlifts into my routine all year

    Why would u do all that stuff in one workout...........

    U could prob do more splitting it up.... I would never do deads + squats in the same day, and if I do heavy bench I won't do heavy squat the same day, etc

    If I am between an intermediate and an advanced bencher, between a novice and an intermediate squatter, and an intermediate deadlifter, is that good progress after 9 months of lifting? Also, I am simply doing a BB split right now while eating at maintenance over the holidays ( maintenance but low carb, slight cut), I will be bulking when I go back to school, do you think I should do a strength training program like SS or do a hypertrophy program? I really wish I could squat about 315, and deadlift in the 400's.

    Ooops. This should at the time have read Deadlift = 305lbs not 205lbs.......
