BenchPress

I would say if you can hit 225 for a couple sets of 10 you have a strong bench press.
yea I'd say that 225 seems to be that "standard" for being an above average lifter. 225 is actually my goal right now(not 1 rep but a full set)
but it all depends on your size/weight/height,etc. imo
I mean if you 150 and you are lifting 225 thats a hell of a lot more impressive than some dude weighing 200+ and doing it
I'd say if you are doing 1.5x your own body weight then it would be considered a pretty damn good bench press
but lets bring it back one sec..
How many ppl on here can actually bench their own body weight?

I'm at 158 and I'm benching 225 3x8 comfortably. The feeling of when I did my first set at 225

i weigh 260...im not quite at 1.5x yet breh
....thats scary to even think about ...i can get up 295I'm at 158 and I'm benching 225 3x8 comfortably. The feeling of when I did my first set at 225
i know that feeling breh...its great...you smaller cats have it easier tho...you put on mass so fast
numbers on everything but bench pressing. Most I've done 225 was like 10 times, but I'm 215 though.

Using that logic you know it basically fits for you too though. I think its impressive for most people that are just lifting regularly because you see it but its still not the majority of cats out there doing it

You damn near 200 talking like that is a big difference you get no props for that stop it. Like someone earlier said I could see if you were like 150 or so but basically only 25 lbs lighter FOH with the props lol

Slappin and clowning chumps for fun.
Bruh, the difference between someone being 225 pounds mostly muscle and 196 mostly muscle is a HUGE difference, besides I never said it was impressive but 12 reps at 225 for 6'1 196 pound guy with low bodyfat is nothing to scoff at.
You gotta know ya shyt bruh
Relax guys.
Once you start working in that 220lb range it's good. Once you get into that 265lb you on the door of being a beast.
**Working** in that range. Not a 1 rep max. 5x5, 8x3 whatever, 8-10 reps. I think i'm just short of that at 220lb. I can bench 1.5x of my weight though.

I don't know what the arguing is about. I mean there at lots of pro athletes(basketball and football) that can't do 225 or struggle with h it.
225 seems to be that standard...
BTW. There are some big numbers being thrown around here. Are you guys repping these on the smith machine
Jk
