The formula to estimate the equivalent bench press weight (BP) is:
\[ BP = (0.033 \cdot P + 1) \cdot BW \]
Where:
The pushups to bench press estimation is a method used to approximate one’s bench press max based on the number of pushups they can perform. This estimation takes into account the individual’s body weight and the general understanding that a pushup involves lifting approximately 64% of one’s body weight. The formula provides a rough estimate and is not a substitute for actual bench press testing.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to estimate the bench press weight:
\[ BP = (0.033 \cdot 30 + 1) \cdot 180 = (0.99 + 1) \cdot 180 = 1.99 \cdot 180 \approx 358.2 \text{ lbs} \]
The estimated Bench Press Weight (BP) is approximately 358.2 lbs.
