Bench Press and Squat States for a featherweight fighter
I know of a featherweight who walks around at 64/65kg and has a 130kg squat and a 105-110kg bench.
I thought that is ridiculously impressive, do you concur or is that quite common for that weight category.

It's plausible considering 5'5 130lb former NBA baller Earl Boykins had a 315lb bench max

Its pretty good in terms of a small aerobic athlete, but I wouldn't class it close to ridiculously impressive.Fitzy901 wrote:I know of a featherweight who walks around at 64/65kg and has a 130kg squat and a 105-110kg bench.

I coach a 61 kg female that squats 140 kilos.

She was a sprinter who has now converted to powerlifting. However I have coached several sub-65 women who have squatted over two times their bodyweight. Of course bench is much harder for them but the USAPL National champ in the 63 class pressed 139.5.Fitzy901 wrote:What sort of athlete is she?punchoutsb wrote:Its pretty good in terms of a small aerobic athlete, but I wouldn't class it close to ridiculously impressive.Fitzy901 wrote:I know of a featherweight who walks around at 64/65kg and has a 130kg squat and a 105-110kg bench.

Yes but they don't have to do miles and miles of cardio and boxing training, they are concentrating on pure lifting.punchoutsb wrote:She was a sprinter who has now converted to powerlifting.

Re: Bench Press and Squat States for a featherweight fighter
You are absolutely correct, which is why I said it was pretty good for a small aerobic athlete. I still wouldn't class it as anything exceptional.Fitzy901 wrote:Yes but they don't have to do miles and miles of cardio and boxing training, they are concentrating on pure lifting.punchoutsb wrote:She was a sprinter who has now converted to powerlifting.

I believe ex unified world bantamweight champion Vic Darchinyan could max bench 140kg.
... This probably explains his 90% ko ratio and his apparent "no hands up" defense.

I've read that also. I've also heard stories on how much Kostya Tyszu and Shane Mosley could put up.

On a similar note, one Jack Culcay can perform an OAC.
