Relative strength is the amount of strength you produce per your bodyweight. So instead of worrying about some fixed weight out there, the most popular being the 300 lb bench press, instead 1.5 times your bodyweight would be our bench mark. How impressive is a 300 lb bench press when the athletes weight is 300 lbs? Not very, now it is far more impressive if the athlete weighs 150 lbs and benches 300 lbs, and even though both athletes are benching the same weight, the 150 lber is far stronger. The standard in my gym is relative strength and the beginning bench marks are a
2x bodyweight deadlift,
1.5x bodyweight full squat
3/4 bodyweight over head press.
What Favre did:
5 x Bodyweight front squats
2 x muscle-ups
15 x box jumps
max rounds in 30 minutes
I'm going to be awesomely sore tomorrow!
Can't wait for the weather to warm up to get back on some boulders.
