<human>:  Before James starts the strength phase training of his cycle he has a powerlifting total of 2200 pounds at a bodyweight of 245 pounds. He manages to gain 15% on his total and 8 pounds of body weight. What is the ratio of his lifting total to bodyweight?
<bot>: How many pounds did James add to his total? ** He added 2200*.15=<<2200*.15=330>>330 pounds to his total
What is James' new total? ** That means his new title is 2200+330=<<2200+330=2530>>2530 pound total
What is James' new body weight? ** His new body weight is 245+8=<<245+8=253>>253 pounds
What is the ratio of James' lifting total to bodyweight? ** So he has 2530/253=<<2530/253=10>>10 for his ratio
