Your body weight (but taking your height into account)

I sincerely hope you are kidding ^^^^^^^^

Almond, your calculations are off as far as bench max is concerned

you can't predict bench max by simple mathmatics like this, you are disregarding several factors, here are just some of them

-mechanical advantage due to length of arm
-tendon placement
-density of myocytes
-ability of CNS to cause muscle contraction

The calculation was for a smaller person that's been "blown up" to a bigger size, keeping everything in the same proportions.

Of course this can't be exact, but I thought it would be pretty damn close.

those are off as well, you are forgetting that when you add muscle you also add water, glycogen, etc....

if you add fat your water weight will increase minimally, lots of variables to account for

The strength calculation might be off, I admit, because strength has a hell of a lot more to do with than simply the cross-sectional area of muscle.

However I think the mass one is pretty exact. If mathematics, there's the concept of "similar" objects. If you say two objects are "similar", it means that they're exactly the same except one of them is a "blown up" version of the other, meaning everything is in the same proportions. Regardless of what's inside the object, (e.g. blood, bone, muscle), the volume of all parts of it will increase by the same percentage.

Have you ever seen the way a person might put a $1 bill next to something small when taking a photograph, the idea is the dollar bill gives an idea of how big the thing is. If you have something on its own in a photograph, without anything beside it to compare the size to, then you've no idea how big it is. What I have in mind, is that when you "blow up" the shorter bodybuilder, he will look exactly the same. The only way you'll be able to tell that he's been "blown up" is if you see the taller bodybuilder standing next to a door frame or something like that.
