Take a look at this table of basic strength standards: http://www.crossfit.com/cf-journal/WLSTANDARDS.pdf

The squat is much higher than the bench because it involves more muscles of the body.

The problem usually is people who train for the look, and because they want big puffy chests, focus much more on the bench press (and machines) at the expense of compound exercises like the squat (using free weights). That is why they end up with a strong bench press and a weak squat that are almost at the same level.

If you train for general functional fitness, your squat and deadlift will progress ahead of the presses by far

From experience, most times in the gym, someone strong enough to squat 140kg will bench 80kg to 120kg.

Also, crossfit and strength training are different animals man.

Yup, crossfit is a totally different beast, their goal is preparing for the ‘unknown and the unknowable’…

I prefer for know to have a specific knowable goal :), that’s why I went with strength training…

Nevertheless, the strength standards are standard, not crossfit-specific. You can do an investigation of your own on the matter. Bear in mind individual differences like genetics, diet, history are also in play…

Better yet, do it for yourself…

But, I close with this, these are just things we do just to pass time and be productive. In the final analysis consider this:

‘Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.’ - Ecclesiastes 12:13
