C&J/Bench Press ratio

[dawn16]

@pilgramspirit My bench is 300, and deadlift is 450, but my C&J is only 200. I think its due to being Old with zero fast twitch muscles left

@pilgramspirit Mine is about 1:1, clean and jerk is slightly higher . My max clean and jerk is 150-153 lbs, and max bench press is 145-148 lbs. (I’m a woman but also train for powerlifting meets so I bench often and don’t do Olympic lifting as much.)

@pilgramspirit I’m closing the gap on that 1:1 ratio but my CJ is still a solid chunk more - 275 bench 300 CJ. I didn’t lift much before crossfit so that’s probably why I can’t bench a whole ton.

@pilgramspirit 300lb bench
255 clean and jerk, (havent maxed in awhile though, should be higher)
210 snatch

185lbs male.

@pilgramspirit i'm having a hard time finding any logical connection between the two.

@pilgramspirit Mine is pretty close. 275 bench and 285 C&J.

@pilgramspirit Female
C&J 160lbs
Bench 110lbs
I'm terrible at benching and have been working on it a few times a week.

@pilgramspirit C&J is about 245 right now, bench is about 315. C&J seems like a much longer, complex movement compared to bench, so I'd think bench would naturally be higher?

@pilgramspirit Cj: 355
BP: 290...

@pilgramspirit Personally I’m 350 bench to 300 C&J... However from some lifting coach I’ve seen posted on here before, I believe the ratio is Front Squat = Bench Press is supposed to be the matching ratio. For me that is still off though (350 Bench does not equal 325 FSqt)...

Adding to that, for females, my girlfriend (3x Regional Athlete) is 155# bench to 210# C&J.
