How to measure strength to weight ratio?

Dear,

I'd like to know how can I measure my strength-to-weight ratio. Anyone suggest a good method?

But, for example, before I begin my training, I was 65kg and did 12 pull-ups (good grip on fingerboard), today I am doing 22 pull-ups and I am 69.5kg.

Is correct to say that I almost doubled my strength-to-weight ratio? Since (22*69.5)/(12*65) = 1.96 ?

Thanks for your comments.

You're so HUGE!!! Can you do a pullup w. your ego yet? That is the true measure of strength to weight. Make sure to take off your shirt, put on a beanie, and wear manpris next time you measure since surely your original data was skewed if you omitted any of those parameters.

Really need a 'Like' button for these forums.

No, doubling your strength-to-weight ratio would be to crank 12 pullups w 1 arm.

You are measuring both strength and endurance.

Using the method here

your strength has increased by 1.32
while your strength-to-weight has increased by 1.24.

What's a KG?

I got you this.

1 kg = 2.2 lbs

Thanks Doug!

If you have more weight than strength, you suck more.

If you have more strength than weight, you suck less.

What you need to do is determine your Density, which is you mass (kg) divided by how much volume your body consumes of our atmosphere. Make certain that when you measure your volume you include the size of your cranium, which makes a huge difference. The best way to measure volume is to find a large container full of liquid, approximately 100 gallons, submerse your entire body, self , your oversized cranium, and let all of your breath out. Hold it for as long as possible while somebody records how much volume the liquid changed by, ensure that they use a measuring device that goes down to mL of liquid, best to scoop out each mL of liquid into another container.

Next you need to determine your ultimate strength. There are a few ways to do this. The easiest is to use horsepower, which can later be converted into MPa. To determine horsepower, or MPa, connect your wrists to an item that has a known horsepower, such as 4 or 5 horses (which equal approximately 4 or 5 horsepower). Also be certain to connect another part of your body (your ankles will work fine) to a fixed, stationary point. Have an assistant move the horses a know distance over a fixed period of time, an easy suggestion would be 1 meter over 1 second. If your strength cannot be determined with 4 or 5 horses then just increase the number of horses until your ultimate strength is tallied (by counting the number of horses.

Next you will obviously need your assistant to calculate your strength to weight ratio by first converting Ml to cm^3, then divide (first they need to convert Hp to Mpa, which shouldn't be hard if you help them before this "experiment" is conducted). The final thing to do is post up the results here, and onto 8a.nu.

Hope that helps!

Wondering what He-man's S:W ratio is...

That's funny, I guess I didn't pay attention when I was a kid. I thought castle greyskull was Skeletor's castle. Sure is a creepy castle for a hero like He-Man to be hanging out in.

Pretty sure it's got to be over 9000.

Can somebody tell me the formula for the strength to spray ratio?

The prefix "Kilo" is always capitalized in SI units, so if we were to split hairs, both KG and kg are improper ;) So, 1 Kg = 2.2 lbs.

You can't be too careful when you are talking about He-Man

Pure gold!

Spray to Strength Ratio = {(# of self-inflammatory posts on MP) - (# of routes sent > 5.12c )+ (# of beanies owned)} / (max # of wide grip pull-ups performed in one set)
