equivalent in your opinion?

I'm thinking 120s maybe even 125s might be the equivalent in terms of strength required to do both.

Thoughts?

I previously did 315 for 2 around 6 months ago, but have personally never gone beyond 120s on dbs.

As in 1x120s=1x315?

Its pretty easy to cheat depth on dbs.

Only ratio I can give you several months ago
130s for 15 dbs
365x1 bb

i was pushing 100x10
for a 300BBx1

so like 100-110 depending on the person

meh, outliers are out-liars..

This will vary a lot...

I was doing 120s for 15 or so and maxed out 460 bb after a set of 405x3 end of high school.

There are different muscle types; fast and slow twitch.

It's the same question as: "If I run a 6 minute mile, how fast can I complete a marathon or long distance run? ". The answer will always vary.

For a 315 bench max, you should be able to handle the 100dbs for at least 6 to 8 reps at a minimum; 12 or more would be more ideal and proportional. Again, it can vary, since db utilizes a whole different set of muscle groups.

100s are my 225 equivalent i would say. You get 100s for 10 chances are you will get 225 for 6-8 minimum.

My gyms DB's only go to 75 I wonder what I could DB bench.

I don't do too much DB, but fresh I think I can do 120x8, flat BB max is 345x1
