Turtle Strength Australia shedding light on factors contributing to a successful bench press.
The extensive data analysis focused on various demographics and performance metrics of lifters, uncovering trends and characteristics prevalent among top performers. Highlights from the study indicate that 65% of the top 20 bench pressers weigh over 130kg, demonstrating a significant correlation between body weight and bench press prowess. The study also reveals a noteworthy persistence among older lifters who continue to rank in the top 20, with a remarkable 80% of top lifts recorded since 2025.
Additionally, the analysis honours a historic feat by a Paralympian who set a 200kg bench press record back in 1968, underscoring the long-standing tradition of strength sports in Australia. An interactive map accompanying the study highlights which Australian states are producing the strongest lifters, adding a geographical dimension to the insights provided.
