Reply With QuoteUhh 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%

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.
