Thread: few training questions.

hi guys, i was just wondering if there is some kind of chart or table which says on average what kind of weight you should be lifting compared to your bodyweight.

is there a average push pull ratio, the reason i ask is because back when i first started lifting i was naive and just wanted a big bench so just focused on benching. thankfully i have learned a lot since then and am now working the whole body evenly. but because i did a lot of bench when i started my pushing is better than my pulling. i know that this is normall (after all when a car breaks down you push it from the back, not pull it from the front) but i think it is too much better than my pulling.

1 - so i was hopeing if as many people as possiable could post there bench and barbbell rows for me, so i could see how mine mach up with yours?

2 - i would also appreciate it if you could tell me how much you can bench press with dumbbells, so i can see how much your meant to do compared to barbell bench press. i konw its not going to be the same as with the barbell because you are using more stabilizeing muscles, but is there a average ratio such as 70% for example?

thanks in advance for any help.
