Strength to Weight Ratio

I had read in "Lance Armstrong's War" that Dr. Evil uses a viscous 1K climbing test to determine the fitness of his riders and whether or not they had a chance to win the Tour. To this end, he used a calculation of Strength to Weight formula. On the net I found a chart of strength to weight to help determine where you are. I created it in excel than pasted below. I am afraid to think of how bad I am right now. I'd rather think of how good I will become!
