Im confused. help me please?

Question

helo guys. i need your help here. i need some help with my program and any advises are needed. thanks. i want to know if it correlates to benchpress, is it the same. i weight 170lbs/77kg and i asked a friend who weights 120lbs/55kg to stand on my back and i put my hands on a bathroom scales. on pushup position. i didnt go down, arms straight. the weight is 225lbs/100kg on that position. and i can do 12 pushups with 120lbs person standing on my back. does that mean that i push 225lbs 12 times in a row? one thing for sure is, the weight of me and my friend on my back when im doing pushups is 225lbs/100kg on the bathroom scales. and is it equivalent to benchpressing 225lbs 12 times? or not? and if its not the same as benching 225lbs, is it much different or not? whats your opinions? help me please.

Answer 3

hmm..never really thought about it like that.

i dont think that its the same, just because its harder to bench your own body weight than to do a pushup. its probably off by like 50 lbs or so, but go ahead and try seeing how much weight you can do. start off at about 140 though, just to see how much more you can or cant do.
