Strength standards are based on the ratio of your bench press 1-rep max to your body weight, categorized into experience levels.

• Know your strength level objectively.
• Set realistic progression goals.
• Compare to population standards.
• Track progress over training cycles.

• The average untrained male can bench press about 0.5-0.75x bodyweight.
• Intermediate level (1.25x bodyweight) typically takes 1-2 years of consistent training.
• Always use a spotter when testing your 1RM.
• Strength standards vary by body weight - lighter lifters often have higher ratios.
