How much weight should the avg male be able to bench?

[Orbital-Fetus]

I walk a mile in under 15 minutes. If I jogged I could easily do it in 8. Would I be winded? Yes, but I know I can do that. I have no Idea what my max bench is but what I work with is 75 lbs for reps. I don't lift until failure either. I do reps of 5-7 in a set of at least 5. That's typically how I do all of my weight training.

Your own body weight, ideally.

Gotta be honest I had a shoulder injury and was forced to chill on my lifting.

 

[Windows 91]

I only do incline

Of course you do. But that's not the norm and conditioning isn't just lifting heavy weights.

What weight lifting is a apart of training nowadays. Nobody is weight lifting to be bodybuilders it's all about strength and explosiveness.

Yeah cause regularly pressing 2x your bodyweight is excessive. But props for getting there at all.

Whatever a 45 on each side of a bench press weighs

These threads are always comedy (but I did see some sensible answers).

First… 135 is a good litmus test for avg joes. I remember a post a while ago that said only a small percent can do 225 which I believe wholeheartedly. The average guy in or around the gym - or on the street, cannot pick up 225. The end

Pull ups: If you can do 1 proper one, cool but the average Joe off the street (especially if he is overweight) will likely struggle

Push ups: 20

Mile: 13/14 mins.

Dips 2/3

I walk around everyday and I can tell off posture alone if you could or would, but most (especially these washed up young nikkaz) are not doing nothing

Average breh in the gym can’t even run a half mile but is wild concerned with bulking up

We’re going backwards man. Sad shyt

Exactly...Bulking up is disgusting if you can't run a 7 to 8 minute mile
Being lean>>>

Your woman, if you can't she's too big

Your woman, if you can't she's too big

The average dude cannot bench his woman's weight. That's because these dudes are weak AND these bytches are bigger than they've ever been in history.

[GreenGhxst]

There was a thread on here debating the average man can only bench 135

Why do you think different ?

Now outrunning SEAL candidates is a standard
