Hello. I'm just wondering about minimum/maximum benchmark standards for the bent press, comparable to Simple and Sinister standards for TGU.

Were you going for an ~ 1:1 work to rest ratio as in Simple & Sinister? The work capacity element (IMHO) makes the standard much more "real-world" applicable.
Gentlemen, in my RSAS program, I have following a note: TBD.
I have few ideas, but I haven't decided yet. I am looking forward to hear your suggestions.
Thanks for your input Shahaf and Pavel. Pavel will you still be taking volunteers for RSAS or have you recruited a large enough sample size for your study?
"simple" 3-5 reps per side with the 36
"sinister" 1 rep per side with the 56
Bodyweight bent press 1RM for sinister standard. This is RSAS, Let’s up the game a bit
Or, 70% bodyweight bent press, 10 singles per side in 20 minutes.
For simple, 10 singles per side in 20 minutes with 50% bodyweight.
So in general you can usually bent press more than MP?
I read an S1 article about progressions with S&S movements and the GU->Low Windmill->High Windmill->Bent Press was given. Does the bent press have greater strength adaptations compared to the GU or just different adaptations?With practice it should be at least 50% (@rickyw ) added to your one arm press. Anything less than that should be for reps.
Some sources claim it should be equal to or greater than your two hand barbell military press but I never came close to that.

This is a good time to review the three kettlebell presses - military, side, and bent. The idea is pretty simple - in the military press, you stay still and the weight moves up. In the side press, the weight moves up and you move down by leaning. In the bent press, the weight stays still and you move yourself underneath it before you stand up.So in general you can usually bent press more than MP?
