    Uhh dude, whip out a POCKET CALCULATOR or the calculator on your computer

    If you bench press 900 pounds and you weigh 300 pounds, you are benching 300% of your bodyweight. I'm sure you are stronger than that, but we are talking theoretical here

    YOUR LIFT / YOUR BODYWEIGHT = PERCENTAGE

    900 / 300 = 300%

    thanks!

    Ah I see, thanks for that formula man. I wasn't sure how to go about it..didn't think it was that simple. I figured it was some uber hard sophisicated calculation. and uh, is that you in your avatar? I would run from that guy if I saw him walking my way

    Nope that is world strongman legend Bill Kazmaeir

    http://www.mcshane-enterprises.com/ASL/kaz.html

    Height: 6'3"
    Weight: 321 to 350 lbs.
    Measurements: 60" chest
    23" biceps
    17" forearms
    22+" neck
    40" waist
    32" thigh
    20.5" calfs

    One of his most amazing feats to me is cheat curling around 440 pounds for 10 reps, I am about half as strong as most of the strongmen but anyone curling 400+ pounds is just a freak, and for 10 reps at that!

    Manfred is listed as being able to do it for a single, still impressive:

    With division calculations there is an obvious incorrect or correct answer, like miles per gallon Give yourself an example like the one above that you know the answer is 50% or say 200%, and then check the work and voila, you know if your formula is correcto or not.
