Bench to Weight Ratio Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Bench to Weight Ratio is:

\[ R = \frac{B}{W} \]

Where:

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.

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.
