How much does something like Push-Ups transfer to Bench Press?

ITS EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS YOU FUCK.

If you can do dips with your bodyweight of 80 kilograms, you can do bench press with 70kg.

Whatever you can do dips with, you should be able to do bench with, minus about 5-10%.

>bench press as an upper body strength test in powerlifting competitions.
bench is such i shit exercise for strength it pisses me off that people do it so much

The only gymnasts that are going to be doing those types of numbers are still rings specialists.
Of course they get that strong, you get WAY more chest strength being able to do shit like holding iron and Maltese crosses than you would just doing shit tons of bodyweight push ups/dips.

> but there's also better ways to train the serratus than doing push ups
Uh, no, there really aren't, the push up and push up plus use the serratus in the role it is most mechanically advantaged/designed to do, i.e. protracting the scapula or stabilizing the scapula during forward movement.
The only other movement that probably similarly recruits it is overhead pressing/handstand push ups.

There's gotta be more weighted lifts you can do other than just that.

Gymnasts do way, way, waaaaaayyy more than pushups.
After a point, more reps don't mean more strength (around 30 or so) and even between 15 and 30 the change in strength is less than between 10 and 15

That's my wife you asshole.

Every guy that Bench Presses 200kg 1RM can Bench Press 100kg for like 40-60 reps

If you worked upto Benching 100kg for 40-60 reps you’d be a 200kg 1RM bencher
