weight lifting to weight ratio

3059365 Posts: 21 Joined: 2006/08/09	2006/08/28, 10:47 PM Hey, I weigh around 60Kg or 132 pounds and i stand at 5"5. I was wondering if a person of my size who can bentch press around 70 - 80kg and arm curl 22kg is that good comparing my size and weight? I do cable excercises by pulling them down to my centre chest lifting 8 reps on around 80kg and pulling them up from the ground with around 8 reps and 60kg on each cable. Also, one final thing i lift around 41kg or 90 Pounds on a standing bar curl. Sorry to list so many excercises but i was wondering if anyone could tell me for my size am i doing quite well?

There are some little guys out there that would blow away some bigger guys in strength, but you could never tell it by looking at them. And then some guys who look "big", and can't lift crap. Just keep your intensity up, and keep concentrating on adding weight to the bar. No matter how strong or how big you think you get, there is always someone out there that will be bigger or stronger unless you reach elite level. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

I would rather see how you have progressed over the past year to see if you are doing good than just numbers from now. And btw, I must know what I am talking about seeing as I am "professional". -------------- Iron and chalk.
