What is a normal ratio?

[Gigantasor]

Quick question,

My bench seems to be creping up on my squat lately. I don’t' believe that it will ever catch it but the ratio seems to be getting closer and closer.

Last chest day I pressed 385 for 5 on my sixth set. Not great but not bad right.

So on leg day I was squatting and on my sixth set I pressed 495 for 5.

Now obviously my squat is over my bench by a bit. But my question is this. What is or is there a standard ratio that can be applied to measure the amount of power a person should have in one body part over another?

The gains I have been making in chest have been coming much faster than my legs and I'm obviously worried about getting some weird ass look as a result.

As I write this it seems like a lame ass concern but I'm serious. I feel like I should have a 2-1 ration in regards to leg strength over chest. Is this completely unrealistic? I know a lot of this will depend on the work out, diet, training, splits, rest and a lot of other issues but as a general rule is there some kind of ration I should know of? If not this might be a damn good thing to try and figure out.

I guess I just ranting,

you do realize a 2:1 ratio of legs over chest is insane. so you want to be able to squat an ungodly amount? dont worry about it trust me. just be ahppy your not one of those people whose bench dont move, your making progress, dont take it for granted. btw thats a lot of weight your moving.

somewhere I remember reading that your bench s/b 75% of your squat. So, if your squatting 495- you want to bench about 375... your pretty close to those ratios

ride it as long as you can. eventually your gains in your bench will slow, and you squat will grow.
