i'm gonna say 185 is a decent number. i have a friend 5'4 135 lbs. that benches 225lbs so even the smaller guys should be able to get 185 up at some point

What the hell is going on in here?
No bragging, but if I ever get under 10 reps of 225 I'll feel like I'm falling off.
It's 15 reps of 100 lb dumbbells
at my gym it's less than 15 people ing that much
You're probably at planet fitness
Personally I use 90 lb dumbbells on the flat bench for reps. My barbell bench is probably in the 230-250 lbs range.
For the average man though, AT LEAST 130 lbs. Anything below that is .
And I'm not talking none of that halfway to your chest, bouncing up and down, over in a second bullshyt.. You slowly lower the weight until it touches your chest and push it back up. A little bounce on the bottom 1/4 of the movement is fair game.
For me to consider someone IN GOOD SHAPE, they must bench at least 200 lbs. For me to consider someone STRONG, they must bench over 300 lbs.
