    DB/BB Formula

    I remember seeing somehere a formula about converting your DB presses to your BB presses. I haven't done Flat BB bench press in a while because I hate it. However, I am trying to get an idea of where I am at.

    From What I remember, this is the formula:

    (Weight of 1 DB*2)/0.9 = barbell bench (90%)

    I can 125 DBs for 10 on the flat bench, so with that being said..

    (125*2)/0.9=278lbs

    Now, with that conversion, it is claiming that I could do 275-280lbs for 10 reps using the flat BB.

    Does anyone think this is accurate? Feel free to plug your #s in.
