I just re-read with great interest the article on achieving structural
balance, an old article here, that lists optimal strength ratios using a 14"
close grip flat bench as the foundation, with other ideal ratios being
Close Grip Bench Press
Relative score: 100%
Incline Barbell Press
Relative score: 83% of CGBP
Supinated Chin-Ups
Relative score: 81%
Behind-the-Neck Presses
Relative score: 64%
Scott Barbell Curls
Relative score: 46%
Standing Reverse Curls
Relative score: 30%
External Rotation SA*
Relative score: 9% Done for eight reps
I will have to test. Is there anything similar for lower body strength
ratios that anyone has run across? I haven't been successful finding one.
Is there another one out there for upper body ideal ratios to compare
against this one of Charles Poliquins???
