Whats your military : bench ratio?

Whats your military press compared to you bench press? Is about 2:3 normal? At what point in either direction would you say something is wrong (eg form, mobility) ?
 
My strict overhead is over 75% of my bench, my push press is around 95% and my close/medium grip bench are the same

It's an interesting topic, as having a high ratio like mine would imply my pecs do practically nothing when I bench (and possibly a technical issue) whereas a low ratio would suggest your shoulders may be the weak link in your bench press
 
Seems to be a theme here

Chris(Spartacus) and Ben(El Freaky) are in the 60-66% range and have about 10 years training on myself, Oni and Sem who are at 75% +
 
Mine is 3:4 but when the numbers are that small they shouldn't count.

Need to try push presses and see how I go there.
 
About 3:4, but the gap is getting wider. I suspect it'll be around a more "normal" 2:3 before too long. Working dat chest, and I reckon I'll have one to speak of, pretty soon, lol. :D
 
Maybe as people progress as a lifter, their bench form gets more efficient. Where as the press not so much as it relies on strength much more so
 
It's been ages since I've trained the press, but I think I used to press 5x47.5kg and bench press 5x75kg, so 63.33% back in the day.
 
I've never done a 1RM so not sure
However I do 6x90kg bench and 6x60kg standing press

Thanks man, strick OHP is probably my best lift. Always just "clicked" technique wise so thats why the number is higher then all my other lifts % wise.

Thanks dude, slowly but surely.
