Is it a ratio of your weight to your bench press?

I don't know?  You either bench under 70 or 265, you tell me?

I really dont know I am going to the police academy and the paper says 1RM Bench Press Ratio  then for wome in the age group 30 -39 it has .51  I am not sure what that means and I want to start lifting my weights here at home to get ready   I weigh 135lb and not sure how to figure out how much I should lift

There is no way they would require a women to bench 250+ so yes this it is what chalky said.
Goals by end of 2009:
Bench 205
Squat 255 ATG
Squat Clean 185
