Bench Press Percentiles — 76 kg Wraps Women
The 76 kg class covers women weighing 69–76 kg (152–168 lb). These percentiles are computed from 10,840 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.
| Percentile | Lbs | Kg | Band |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5th percentile | 94 lb | 42.5 kg | Novice |
| 10th percentile | 100 lb | 45.4 kg | Novice |

| 30th percentile | 127 lb | 57.5 kg | Intermediate |
| 40th percentile | 135 lb | 61.2 kg | Intermediate |
| 50th percentile | 143 lb | 65 kg | Advanced |
| 60th percentile | 154 lb | 70 kg | Advanced |

| 97.5th percentile | 250 lb | 113.4 kg | World Class |
| 99th percentile | 272 lb | 123.5 kg | World Class |
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.
