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

[Neuromancer]

Makes kinda sense, but any violent movement, that power is generated from the back, core, or legs/hips

Anyone who fights knows this.

 

[Vandelay]

I would say 185, but I cosign a lot that say your bodyweight. 225 is respect in most circles though.

Tbf incline presses with very light weight does help with punching

 

[Mike Nasty]

Not that I pay super close attention, but most new guys in the gym can't even bench 135.

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

Your own weight...

 

[TheMailMan]

225 for 10 reps is the standard. Anything more is just house money .

Dog breh was behind an enemy lines,,

 

[Paper Boi]

all I can say is I was able to max at 225 after just a few weeks of weight training when I was a teenager still in high school


so as a man...

 

[xXMASHERXx]

I love these threads. Shows just how ignorant most people on here are. The average man has no idea how to lift and would probably kill themselves trying to unrack 225

 

[Germms]

Push ups are more impressive.

I don’t have a problem with a standard but age should be adjusted for it as well.

 

[god shamgod]

I got a bench in my crib , it’s 150. I can do 20 -24 reps before my arms get tired.

 

[jay83]

Universally I think the average man 18-40 should be able to do on any given day at any given time minimum

Pull ups- 3
1 mile- 8 min
Push ups- 10
Plank(1 min) /situps(25) pick one

 

[GreenGhxst]

Most men can't 225

Not men in the gym, but in public daily life

I'd say 135

It depends a lot on body proportions, that's why some pro basketball players have low bench press numbers while the shorter ones can typically bench more
