Bench Press Percentiles — 93 kg Wraps Men
The 93 kg class covers men weighing 83–93 kg (183–205 lb). These percentiles are computed from 28,128 raw with knee wraps competition results in the OpenPowerlifting database. Remember that everyone in this dataset trained hard enough to enter a meet, so the 20th percentile here is already well above the average gym-goer.

Novice = below the 20th percentile of competitors. Intermediate = 20th–50th. Advanced = 50th–80th. Elite = 80th–95th. World Class = top 5%. Percentiles are calculated on the best bench press from each meet entry, so a lifter with ten meets appears ten times; this weights the data toward experienced competitors.
How to Improve Your Bench Press
Bench responds well to frequency. Most intermediate lifters should bench two to three times per week — one heavy day and one or two lighter technique or volume days. If you are weak off the chest, add paused reps and dumbbell pressing. If you are weak at lockout, add close-grip bench and direct triceps work. A legal competition pause costs most lifters 5–10 lb until they train it, so pause every top set. See the accessory selection guide for weak-point work and the program generator for a periodized plan.
