I am new to this but I figured I would post.

Body weight = 265

PC = 345

FS = 450

PP = 300

That is if the front squat is just below parrallel and not butt on the floor.

Alright, let's do this.

One of my olympic weightlifters as a ratio of 6.16.  He is a 62k lifter, 20yo.  Very powerful...

Haha, here're mine.

Did 'em last week on a sort of week off not front squatted for months, push press pretty regular and no power cleans (other than axle) for a while either (and forgot I was allowed to use straps).

Front squat - 148kg = 326

Power clean - 105kg (got 110kg in a continental - unplanned) = 231

Push Press - 115kg = 253

All at 128kg bodyweight gives a pretty pathetic ration of just under 2.9.

I know I can improve the power clean pretty quickly and probably had more in the squatting tank and a push press of 120kg is within my reach in next week or two.

Humbling !

Here's a weird one - did Axle clean and press in prep for Sydney's Strongest Man in June.

Cleaned 108kg fairly comfortably - with 2" bar, non rotating ! No straps either.

So my ratio went up !

Edit on 25/4/9 or 4/25/9 to most of you guys!

Did axle push press of 120.5kg yesterday !

Bodyweight up though - 130kg.

But I think the ratio sneaked up again - looking forward to throwing and seeing what difference this strength makes but got Strongman comp in a week, so no time.

For shits and giggles did mine and here's what I got. I have nevr maxed out on these lifts. So I used a ma calculatro so my numbers are probably tad off.

Power Clean 325 x3 = 345

Front Squat 475 x3= 505

Push Press 295 x3 = 315

Bodyweight 275

Ratio = 4.23

The competitor to be feared is not the one who worries about others, but the one who goes on making their business better at all times...

Updated:

Power clean: 120k

Push Press: 120k

Front squat: 160k

Bodyweight same - ratio now 3.07

Having been training throws for last few weeks, this does seem to be translating to better distances, as technique has not returned to last season's form (so much to do, so little time as always).

bump. 

I would really encourage people to try this out or retest this before the season starts.  Together with the Triathlon Test I have also bumped, this provides useful info regarding your relatives strengths and weaknesses (technique aside).

I'm stronger in all 3 lifts (including probably the power clean, but I really have no idea), but I'm also 30lbs heavier.

Craig,

Honestly, give the Power Clean a reasonable chance in the test, even if you never bother to train it.  The number you put up last year is simply ridiculously low for someone of your strength and explosiveness, regardless of your experience with the lift.  I am sure you could actually cheat reverse curl that much.  I hear you know someone with a bit of Olympic lifting experience - spend a few minutes getting her to give you some pointers!

Either way, here goes.

weight 190

PP 235 (no second dip or push jerk)
PC 240
FS 320

4.18

Wow, haven't thought of this in a long time.  Glad you put it up.  I'm 13 lbs heavier (probably not good), but added around 20 - 30 lbs on each of the lifts.  Haven't done cleans or Front squats in a long time, maybe I should see where I am.

This is cool.

In college we did our power ratio with Squat, bench, and PC.

I like this more

PC=295
PP=280
FS=335

BW=301

Power Ratio= 3.02 

Could be a lot better
