Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below sorry i had to bring this one back from the dead, today i pressed 480 no problem, but failed miserably at 495. almost hit the 3x mark on the bench, weighing 165 at 20 yrs of age.....however the biggest problem goes by the name of Joe Mazza, hes in my area and competes every so often and has me beat by a few lbs. but on the bright side hes a good 15 yrs older and 5 inches shorter so i might have a chance to knock him down in a few years.
What are the strongest bodyweight to lift ratios?

world record benching regarding bodyweight is like 3.5 x body weight, i think. i think you have to do at least do like 3 times your weight in most power lifting catagories in order to contend for best in the world. there are some sickly strong mofo's out there.
http://www.powerlifting-ipf.com/worldrecords/men_bench_single_lift_all.htm some japanese guy benched 583 lbs at 165lbs which is like 3.53333 times his body weight. he is a freak. that's crazy.

I have been in drug tested powerlifting events for 15 years and with those lifts you wouldnt place. To be of decent competing stregnth you need to double bodyweight in bench triple bodyweight in squat and deadlift. This was alot easier to do when I was 165 than it is now at 240. At 165 I benched 360 squatted 551 and deadlifted 573. Now at 242 I bench 520 deadlift 740 and squat 660. Notice that pound for pound I am weaker now than I was at 165. This is still training drug free with the exception of HGH used alone for one cycle. And the time span scince I was 165 nto 242 is 15 years. Hope this helps.
