I just came back from the gym I had chest today too...
15 reps 90 lb dumbbells
12 reps 100 lb dumbbells
10 reps 100 lb dumbbells
8 reps 100 lb dumbbells
I usually do about 6 exercises 3 pressing and 3 stretching.
I've never maxed, but when I used to do it, I repped out at 185 (10x), honestly, clean and jerk is almost an aerobic workout, I start sweating like I'm at the equator when doing those. I was able to do more than 185, but never while maintaining my form. I start using my lower back when I got tired over that weight
I always touched my chest. That's why I always check the bench has the lower hooks. If it only has one hook, I never push the limit. Nothing worse than struggling and waiting for some azzhole to casually walk over and help you while the fate of your sternum hangs in the balance

So y'all nikkas gonna let this nikka come through with the duck tales and not say nuffin?
Rule of thumb for bench press has always been your own body weight.
For some odd reason I've always held this thing that at the gym you're respected benching 2 plates a side (225lbs) and are gawdly at 3 plates a side (315lbs).
If you can't
-Put up 200
-Pump out 50 military pushups spontaneously
-Provide financially for yourself and any family you may have
-Change a flat tire
....you are not a man.
