What is a good push up to pull up ratio?

Correcting and Preventing Strength Imbalances Performing an equal volume of pullups and pushups is the simplest way to prevent a strength imbalance. You move 70 percent of your bodyweight in a pushup, as opposed to your full weight with a pullup, so a ratio of three pushups for every one pullup is often sufficient.

Do powerlifters do pull-ups?

Pull-ups may be performed as an assistance exercise on deadlift or bench press days. I prefer to do pull-ups on deadlift day and then perform some other type of free weight rowing movement on bench press days. Powerlifters don’t need to do high reps in the pull-up.

Does bench press help pull-ups?
