Could someone give me a rough ratio of how much a normal build person could lift in different exercises i.e. if they can curl X, how much would they be able to bench-press?

Surely someone must have even a rough idea of what sort of ratio’s would be involved?

T-nation.com will have all the information you want about that.

Look for the article entitled "A Question Of Strength". It's precisely your question.

The chart linked above is alright up to a point, but it has a glaring flaw, which is that it's based on bodyweight. Bodyweight is one of the most meaningless statistics in existence, when taken in a vacuum. The chart makes absolutely no sense because it relies on bodyweight as the prime parameter. It fails to take into account body composition, bone density, etc.

Not to mention, like BMI calculators, body weight isn't always a good answer for health or fitness.

A skinny man who weighs 150 is unquestionably weaker than a male fitness competitor of the same height, age, and weight.

I'm not sure about curls but for bench press the best women can...
Bench almost 3 times bodyweight. (The best raw, with no shirt was 2.2)
Squat or deadlift almost 4x. (Deadlift is less than squat usually.)

Interestingly for the men's records add one to each multiple.
