Ok, so lets see it, Best bench at what bodyweight category. Going by the honors system here:

Weightclass's:

Men:

Men Women
56.0 48.0
60.0 52.0
67.5 56.0
75.0 60.0
82.5 67.5
90.0 75.0
100.0 82.5
110.0 90.0
125.0 90 +
125 +

Weightclass's are in KG, so conversion rate is 2.2lbs. So:

Men:
56 = 123.2lbs

60 = 132lbs

67.5 = 148.5lbs

75 = 165lbs

82.5 = 181.5lbs

90 = 198lbs

100 = 220

110 = 242

125 = 275

125+ = 275+


Women

48 = 105.6
52 = 114.4
56 = 123.2
60 = 132
67.5 = 148.5
75 = 165
82.5 = 181.5
90 = 198
90+ = 198+


I'll keep a running list of it when people start adding in.


Rules:

The lifter must lie on his back with head, shoulders and buttocks in contact with the bench surface. The
feet must be flat on the floor (as flat as the shape of the shoe will allow). His hands and fingers must
grip the bar positioned in the rack stands with a thumbs around grip. This position shall be maintained
throughout the lift.
3. To achieve firm footing the lifter may use flat surfaced plates or blocks not exceeding 30 cm in total
height to build up the surface of the platform. Blocks in the range of 5 cm, 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm, should
be made available for foot placement at all international competitions.
4. Not more than five and not less than two spotter / loaders shall be on the platform at anytime. After
correctly positioning himself, the lifter may enlist the help of the spotter / loaders in removing the bar
from the racks. The lift off if assisted by the spotter / loaders must be at arms length.
5. The spacing of the hands shall not exceed 81 cm measured between the forefingers (both forefingers
must be within the 81 cm marks and the whole of the forefingers must be in contact with the 81 cm
marks if maximum grip is used). If in the case of some old injury or anatomically the lifter is unable to
grip the bar equally with both hands he must inform the referees prior to lift-off for each attempt and if
necessary the bar will be marked accordingly. The use of the reverse grip is forbidden.
6. After removing the bar from the racks, with or without the help of the spotter / loaders, the lifter shall
wait with elbows locked for the Chief Referee’s signal. The signal shall be given as soon as the lifter is
motionless and the bar properly positioned. For reasons of safety the lifter will be requested to “Re-
place” the bar, together with a backward movement of the arm, if after a period of five seconds he is
not in the correct position to begin the lift. The Chief Referee will then convey the reason why the
signal was not given.
7. The signal to begin the attempt shall consist of a downward movement of the arm together with the
audible command “Start”.
8. After receiving the signal, the lifter must lower the bar to the chest (the chest, for the purpose of the
rule, finishes at the base of the sternum / breastbone), hold it motionless on the chest, after which the
Chief referee will signal the audible command “Press”. The lifter must then return the bar to arms
length with no excessive / immoderate uneven extension of the arms. When held motionless in this
position the audible command “Rack” shall be given together with a backward motion of the arm.
