Bench Press standards at 113 kg
Where a 113 kg lifter sits across the five training- population bands for the bench press. Numbers are 1RM estimates — not working sets. Both male and female columns below; pick the one that applies.
1RM standards (kg) at 113 kg bodyweight
| Band | Male | Female | ×bw |
|---|---|---|---|
| Untrained | 79 | 57 | 0.70× / 0.50× |
| Novice | 113 | 73 | 1.00× / 0.65× |
| Intermediate | 170 | 96 | 1.50× / 0.85× |
| Advanced | 226 | 124 | 2.00× / 1.10× |
| Elite | 283 | 158 | 2.50× / 1.40× |
Multipliers are ratio-of-bodyweight per ExRx training- population norms. Numbers in the male/female columns are 113 × the multiplier rounded to the nearest kg.
Cross-lift balance at 113 kg
Typical training-population ratios for a 113 kg lifter (StrengthMath methodology, practitioner consensus across NSCA Essentials + Practical Programming):
- Squat : bench press — typically 1.2–1.5× (a 113 kg lifter benching 170 kg should target a squat in the 203–254 kg range)
- Deadlift : bench press — typically 1.4–1.6× (intermediate bench ~170 kg → deadlift ~237–271 kg)
- Bench Press : OHP — typically 1.4–1.6× (bench press divided by overhead press; OHP is the slowest of the four lifts to develop)

Progression timeline (bench press, 113 kg)
- Novice → Intermediate: 7–14 months on linear progression. Linear progression — 3-4 sessions/week, add 2.5 kg (or 5 lb) per session until it stalls. Eat enough.
- Intermediate → Advanced: 22–43 months. Periodization required — 4-5 sessions/week, weekly or monthly progression (5/3/1, DUP, conjugate). Linear adds stop working past this band.

1RM reliability at 113 kg
A 113 kg male intermediate bench press (170 kg) lifted at 5 reps projects to a 1RM of roughly 192 kg ± 3 kg (high-reliability range per LeSuer 1997 — formulas converge within ~±2% at ≤5 reps). At 8–10 reps the range widens to ~±5%; past 10 reps it gets noisy. Use the check calculator for your actual numbers + the four-formula breakdown.
