I got 12.56
FWIW though, this is dumb. it's like someone is taking numbers and trying to find a formula for determining somone's level of strength, a la the dragon ball z scouters. |

13.04.
So I have the highest power score? Doubtful. 
This is not a valid test of power. Power is determined by work divided by time. There is no calculation of time here, but rather just a weak correlation to work, which would be determined by force * distance.
With respect,
Sohan

LOL I got a 9.84. Looks like I need to eat more, bench more, and get older.
Now where's my turkey sandwich...

Yes, you are right there... You can also find out the amount of work done (in Joules) by; Force (newtons) x Distance (m)...
However, for this particular subject, work has to be in Joules (you cannot change the unit)... And power is iether in Joules of watts, the only thing that fits into this subject is time...
I'm gonna look into this (give me 2 weeks) and I'll post what I find... Should I post it here, or in a new thread?

nice, I get a 13.66. but I also think it;'s a flawed value. I'm 31, bench 320, 72" tall and weight is 260. all that means is that I need to lose some bodyfat.  |

I got 10.8348.No big thing
IF the average is 5-8 , it磗 because the average strenght is based on people who do not exercise I think.
I weight 190 lbs , bench about 260 and I am 68,5 tall , 21 years old.
But I think it磗 not acurate...It only focus on your pecs...and there is people who can lift 1 ton with legs...
And the power go up is you are older....It磗 not suposed to be in the other way? If a guy is 17 years old and lift same weight , with the same height than one of 25...They 17 YO dude is stronger....
Is like those weight tables.. I am suposed to be 创 overweight创 , but my overweight is fiber/muscle overweight. In those tables , The pro body builders would we obese.

dude, don't try to analyze it so much. In dragon ball z, The humans are the weakest race in existence. it was rare to find a human with a power level above 20, whereas saiya jin were in the hundreds and in some cases, thousands. A handful of humans made it into the thousands, but they were still MUCH weaker than the saiya jin, who were made it to the millions. It's not based on people who don't exercise - it's based on the premise that all humans are weak, as per the anime. |
