I would think pound for pound is more of a significant accomplishment other than just comparing pure weight.. That was the questions.. which is a more of a significant accomplishment?

The lighter guy has made more of a significant accomplishment than the older..

Young Guy: 160lbs Bench 325lbs=203% of BW
Old Guy: 190lbs Bench 330lbs= 173% of BW

If the old guy's weight remains at 190 he would need to bench approximatly 388lbs or 204% of his body weight in order to have a more significant lift..

Which is more significant? Obviously the man benching 203% of his bodyweight..

But with that said.. benching 330lbs and clocking in a 190 isn't too shabby.. and you certainly deserve bragging rights..

Hmm, thought Id chime in here for my first post...
Since when is 41 old? Last year I was benching
in the high 200s, after a couple years layoff from
all weight training, at 38, now IM 39 and just tripled
350 in my last workout, and looking for 385-400
by thanksgiving. Sure, Im a fat ****er, at 260ish,
but my age is not slowing my gains down one bit.

Older fellow,... young guys can throw weight around and have higher test levels,.. not to mention the man started late.

yeah that's from 275 to 375 plus (not sure), in less than a year without steroids and no gain in BW... still no comments? typical narrowminded idiots.

my dad started lifting when he was 16. he's now 45. i am 21. there was a time when i was younger and just starting out he was benching in the 400's during our workouts (he holds the CT state natural record in his weight class). there was a point when we were then even, and now i have over taken him. just age.
