Question: What's the ratio of the number of pushups to the weight you can do on a bench press!?
I need to know what a certain amount of pushups you can do in a row would be equal to in terms of the weight you can do on a bench press once!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Odd as it may be, there is actually no accurate correlation!. Exercises recruit different types of muscle fibers (there are 4 types, fast and slow twitch white cells and fast and slow red fibers) depending on the amount of weight that you are exerting on them!. Being able to do 100 push ups doesn't really tell you anything about how many reps of a certain weight you can do on a bench press, other than that you can probably bench press about 60% of your body weight a good number of times (essentially a pushup)!. The only way to improve your maximum bench press is to increase the fibers that the heaviest weight will recruit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There isn't one as with a push up you are doing the same weight again and again!. This means it makes your muscles have more endurance!.

A bench press increases your strength and how much you can do at one time but would struggle to repeat itWww@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think such a ratio exist!. However i do believe if you can do at least 10 push-ups, you should be able to bench your own weight at least once!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't focus on the weight focus on the reps you want to look good and be strong!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

there is no such ratio!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
