Question:

pull ups translated to bench press?

what does the number of pulls up with your weight tell you about your bench press

Answer:

Pull-ups primarily target the Latissimus Dorsi muscle group in the back, though many other muscles are involved in the movement. These assisting muscles include the Brachialis, Brachioradialis, Biceps Brachii, Teres Major, Deltoid muscle, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, Rhomboids, Levator Scapulae, Trapezius Lower, Trapezius Middle, and Pectoralis Minor. The bench press focuses on the development of the pectoralis major muscle as well as other supporting muscles including the anterior deltoids, serratus anterior, coracobrachialis, and the triceps. It doesn't tell you much about bench press, in fact the only similar muscle groups affected in both exercises are the deltoids. And your deltoids don't play a large enough part in either exercise to affect the other exercise significantly.
pulls up's transfer more into expolsive exercise's like power cleans that take alot of back strength. But i can do 20 pull ups and bench 330.
Not much... you're talking about different muscles for the most part.
