135lbs is a realistic reasonable bar imo
Everybody don't work out but every grown man should be able to do 45lb bar + 45 on each side 6-8 times straight off the streets

I think the answer to the thread question is maybe around 135.

The avg man doesn't go to the gym and doesn't lift regularly.

The advice i have for anyone starting out with lifting is to register to a gym that has barbells, go to stronglifts.com (lifts with an s). Read the documentation on the stronglifts 5x5 program, download the app and follow it to a tee.as a beginner man, you should reach 225 in about 7 to 8 months.

Did that shyt in my 20s, and again in my mid 30s and was in the best shape of my life. My nutrition was still garbage but women at work were literally making comments and finding excuses to feel on me. You physically feel better, clothes look better on you... it's literally a cheat code.
