315 or 405?
Either one
Its not even about getting that strong. Someone who can throw up 225 for 10-12 reps can probably train to get up to 315 no problem. But that shyt is hell on your joints and forces u to assume a lot of risk. Requires u to either be very smart and meticulous about your training or genetically blessed... both of which are very rare, based on the # of dudes I see bouncing bytch weight off their sternums

So do you lift 315+ or do you just stick with 225 for reps?

Def a better chance to hit 315 than 405

The "average" man in America is overweight to obese
So no the average man could likely not hit that without serious dedication and lifestyle changes.
The average varsity HS - collegiate athlete perhaps, (including all sports not just football), perhaps, a majority of those could with just increasing focus on bench and intensity.

315 is def possible for the average male if he applied himself.
i was putting up 305x3 at 15. And i got long arms. And i was the weakest person in my lifting group. And i had only been lifting for a year before that.
So if i can do that the average male should def be able to do it with some dedication.

Chins are one of those exercises where you can get away with them if you're skinny or small as fukk.

I dunno, I'm not super strong, and I'm not some freakish athlete, but I'd say I'm more in the realm of general fitness. I'm around 171-174 right now. My max chinup set is like 13-14, and I bang out at least 3-4 reps of 205 on flat bench.
I've got more a runner's build. If I got back to seriously eating calories and cutting down on the cardio, I'm sure I could get my lifting back on point. I pretty much lift to maintain somewhat of a strength base and because I enjoy it.
However most bodyweight exercises are easier for untrained people because if you're lighter you can get away with doing more

You strong for your weight and build breh,and to the average ,man you hella strong so you good money.
Yea I agree with being light and that being a factor in helping you with bodyweight exercises,but I know some cats 200+ who can do chins and pulls easy as hell too

And honestly, I think if someone really wanted to make it a goal they could do it. They would have to probably become fat fukks to do it, but yes. I know some genetically blessed people that are lifetime natural that have hit 315 before, but most of the time you probably just have to train for it and become a fat fukk to get it done.
I know I'll prolly never do it because I couldn't give two shyts about benching 315, but it would be cool to do

Thanks man I appreciate that alot.
I'm a tough critic of myself. My goal is to do 20 dead hang pull ups. Been working on it for months but I've stalled. If I seriously wanna do it I think I'll have to lose another 5-10 pounds, but at the moment I'm just maintaining. There are some people who are just super fukking strong. I do a lot of weighted chins, and I feel for the endurance sets I would just have to lose more weight to get stronger, but for strength sets more weight would come in handy.

You dont necessarily have to become fat to hit 315,I know a cat lean 6'0 185 who can hit it

No doubt breh,alot of people dont think they strong,but in real life they are.
So are you more of a calisthenics type, or you just mix weights and calisthenics?
