New York-based fitness company SoulCycle is getting ready for an IPO, Reuters is reporting. SoulCycle, which was founded in 2006 by Elisabeth Cutler and Julie Rice, has high-end gym Equinox Holdings as its majority owner, according to the report.
You should be able to bench between 1-1.5 of your body weight. So, if you weigh 100 pounds you should bench between 100-150. Lower than 100 pounds your considered weak. Higher â¦ than 150 pounds and your really strong in my example.
The amount you can bench press increases in proportion to your body weight. Untrained lifters, for example, can generally bench about half their body weight -- 50 pounds for women weighing around 97 pounds, and 90 pounds for those weighing 198 pounds. An elite lifter -- one who competes in strength competitions -- can lift right around her body weight, or a bit more. For example, an elite 97-pound woman can bench 115 pounds, and an elite 198-pound woman can bench 205.
