What should your bench press max be

So how is your max bench press calculated? The calculator above uses a simple formula that equates the number of reps you performed at a certain weight with a percentage of your max lift. The chart above represents the math behind the calculator. This calculator works similar to our max lift calculator but adds an additional multiplier based on the exercise you are completing in order to properly convert your lifted weight into your max bench press. This is to account for the increased difficulty of the lift compared to the normal bench press.

Keep in mind this is only an estimate of your best bench press lift. This entirely depends on how often you practice each of these lifts. This is because the more you practice a lift, the more efficient you become in that lift. Our bench press standards are based on 13,, lifts by Strength Level users.
