Is there a connection between how many push-ups you can do and what you can bench? Or is there no connection at all?

I'm sure gymnasts are stronger than the average person, but I'm not sure about a 2-3x dead, simply because they haven't trained the neurological aspect of the lift, like recruitment patterns and such.Garddawg said:I would bet there is a relationship between being able to do a lot of good (Full range/strict) push ups and being able to bench a lot in relation to your bodyweight, but little or no relation going the other way. In other words find a guy who can do a lot of push ups and I'll bet he can bench a lot, find a guy who focuses on bench and I'll bet he won't be able to do a lot of push ups. Gymnasts hardly ever lift weights, most of their work is done with bodyweight. However they are generally strength freaks. Not uncommon to see a gymnasts do a 2.5 -3X bodyweight deadlift the first time they try.
there is relationship as long as strength and shape is concerned. they are all getting strongermike100 said:no relationship what so ever.
