Can the majority of males reach a 315 bench press in their lifetime?(Updated from 405 to 315)

[Originalgangsta317]

Basically the trainee will reach 405lb bench after several years of just smart and hard training and eating. Also, I mean a 405lb raw bench, so no bench shirts.

So basically the question is, is a 405lb raw bench within the genetics of the majority of males?

I wouldn't say the majority. Given how much the average male obsesses over the damn bench press I'd think that'd be a more common number if it were possible for the average dude

Probably not.
A 135 pound man would be tripling their body weight in the bench press. That's the far end of the bell curve. A very small number might be able to come close to that.
Then, you have small frame guys. It's harder to lift double your body weight compared to a large framed guy. Still a small number are able to accomplish that.

Yeah, I've worked out at hardcore gyms where there are power lifting competitors. They are able to bench in the 400s and 500s. Even among the people who are serious about weight lifting, a small number are into power lifting competition and they are bench extreme poundages. So if you look at it that way, among 1,000,000, you might have less than 10 people who are able to bench 400.
