I'd say your weight is practical, but 1.25x your weight is more ideal

160lbs - 200lbs
185lbs - 225lbs
200lbs - 250lbs

Checks out

At the gym these youngins be maxing out at like 70-80 pounds this generation weak af

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

225 is not what the average man is benching

If you can bench your bw I consider that respectable for the average man. If you lift 1.5 that. Anything above that is good to great numbers.

Read the thread title again

that girl is not 100 lbs

 

[BaldingSoHard]

I'd say 75% of his bodyweight.

 

[ThatTruth777]

idk.. like 120-130 seems like a pretty good floor/baseline

 

[the cac mamba]

the real answer is 135. yeah, that number is weak as fukk for gym brehs, but that isnt the average man

You weigh 200 pounds you need to be benching 315 at minimum

You weigh 200 pounds you need to be benching 315 at minimum

We talking about Average Joe's though, most people over 200lbs have a body fat percentage over 20%

Every man should be able to lift his body weight....

But nikkas be having all these muscles and be in the gym and be real life weak. Can't fight, don't really protect their woman, they just look the part women are the worst judges of what dudes character really is, and it's probably the same, most men aren't great character judges of women...

To be fair, most women not giving a fukk about the most muscled-up guy. You gotta have some shyt in you, not on you...

 

[Brolic]

Most people can’t do 185, so probably 135-165.

 

[kdslittlebro]

You should be able to overhead press your body weight, benching just gives you big titties

Pecs. 4 titties in my crib was what got me in the gym in the first place yrs back

225

Not every woman cares but let's be real, the more can do, the more she'll like you

Just nature

Like one percent of men in the world can bench 225. 225 isn't possible for most men who don't train, and the vast majority of men don't train. I lifted for the first time when I was 13 and I think I was doing 95 pounds. A realistic number for a grown man is probably 135.

Fwiw, the deadlift is the superior measure of strength. I'd say the average man should be able to do 175 or so.
