Your strength-to-weight ratio is simply your strength divided by your body weight. The ideal ratio depends on your gender and what lift you're performing. Competitive athletes' goals for the strength-to-weight ratio differ from those for the average gym-goer. Regardless of your experience level, think of strength-to-weight ratios in terms of progress; you want to see improvements in the ratio as you train to help you become more adept at your sport, not necessarily work toward a specific ideal.
Like any measure of fitness, dedicated focus on exercise and quality nutrition helps you see improvements in the ratio. To get the most accurate, total-body strength-to-weight ratio assessment, perform five different exercises. For strength athletes, this is usually the bench press, squat, deadlift, power clean and power snatch. Lift the heaviest weight you can for one repetition, with proper form. Figure the SWR for each exercise and then add up the numbers.
Divide the total by five - the number of exercises you performed - to get your strength-to-weight ratio profile. For example, if the ratio for the exercises were 1.3, 1, 1.5, 0.9 and 0.6, you'd add them up to get 5.3 total. Then, divide 5.3 by 5 for a SWR profile of 1.06.
In weightlifting or powerlifting, your strength-to-weight ratio is influenced by your gender. Men naturally carry more muscle mass and thus usually have a higher ratio than women. For example, an intermediate, 165-pound male powerlifter performing the deadlift ideally lifts about 295 pounds for a SWR of 1.8. A woman of the same weight and class ideally deadlifts 190 pounds, for a SWR of 1.15. Of course, these numbers are based on competitive standards, and the average athlete might fall below these numbers.
Functional training with bodyweight exercises – such as pushups, pullups and core work - and reducing excess body fat with a healthy, portion-controlled diet, helps improve your strength-to-weight ratio. If you're already lean, though, losing weight isn't likely to help improve your strength-to-weight ratio.
You risk losing valuable muscle, which contributes to your overall strength. The average female athlete has a body fat of between 14 and 20 percent; the average male athlete between 6 and 13 percent. Women naturally carry more fat than men due to the needs of childbearing.

As a master baker, painter, and woodworker, Stephen Lanzalotta has used the mathematical principles of The Golden Ratio (an integral plot element in The Da Vinci Code) for more than 30 years. His realization that this seemingly magic formula, once used by Da Vinci, held the secret to optimal health and weight loss led him to apply it to his menu at his popular bakery/caf. Thus was born The Diet Code, a revolutionary Mediterranean-style program that makes each meal as easy as 1-2-3 (1 part grain, 2 parts protein, 3 parts vegetable/fruit), to boost metabolism and spark weight loss. The plan reveals Renaissance foods that promote weight control and includes unique tips for diet success, including:. Eat bread - but not without fat or protein. Cook pasta al dente to boost fat loss.
Balance your plate by The Golden Ratio of carbs,protein, and fat. Combining menu plans and recipes, as well as Renaissance lore and Italian tips on healthy eating, this is a unique diet plan from the ages for the ages.1973 Porsche 911 RS Light Weight $349,500. Of the 1508 RS Carreras produced, this magnificent RS is one of only 200 factory original Lightweights (M471 option) specification cars. It is number 143 out of the 200 built.

It was sold by the world famous Porsche Dealer Mahag to its first owner who only had it for two years driving it only on the streets with very limited usage.
Alfred Spah of West Germany bought the car for competition. (Photos included below from this period). He competed in National slalom events and also in hill climb and circuit events.

Colonel Roger Kruckerberg stationed in West Germany.
He immediately shipped the car to the U.S. Over the next ten years the car was pampered and used very little and spent most of its time in storage being carefully maintained both cosmetically and mechanically.in 1988 #1079 was sold to Porsche enthusiast and collector Mark Heininge of Aurora, Oregon who also used the car very little. Mark continue to pamper and carefully maintain the car during his ownership and the car was still in its original condition showing less than 50,000 km's.Circa 1990 #1079 went to another Porsche enthusiast and collector by the name of Ted Halton of Portland, Oregon. He kept the car for ten years also driving it very sparingly yet maintaining its originality and overall great condition.After Mr.
Halton's ownership #1079 passed through the ownership of world renown collectors Chip Connor and Chris Cox. I purchased the car from Chris Cox in 2003 and sold it to a Hong Kong collector who owned over 50 competition and vintage Porsches. The car never left the U.S. Being maintained in a climate controlled environment and it has now just been repurchased by me for immediate sale.

This car is extremely quick and leaks no oil and shows no signs of smoke even during initial start up.
