The average man can't bench 135lbs and depending on the type of gym you go to the weights people push are all over the place
New York Sports Club - You'll see most people pushing 185lbs on average, with the occassional person doing in the 315-355 ranges, their dummbells go to 120 and most people don't bother using them for bench.
LA Fitness & 24 Hour fitness - Similar to NYSC, you'll find more females at these type of gyms, the average bench is like 185lbs as well and you'll find the occasional strong cat here and there putting up heavyweights.
Retro Fitness - This is where you'll see dudes in parachute pants and fanny packs where 300+ bench is a lot more common, occasional dudes hitting 495 or more, 600+ lbs deadlifts and 450+ squats. The steroid game at a place like this is official, if you wanna juice this is the type of gym to go to. This has replaced Gold's Gym in NY as the juicer's paradise.
I been to all these places, and those are the things I've noticed. I go to a local gym that is similar to Retro, except they are cheap enough that women end up going there as well and there's a floor for them to do aerobics & dance shyt. You'll know how serious a gym is by how high their dummbells go, any place with 200lbs dummbells is where you'll find some seriously strong people, dudes at the place I go to out here inclining 165lbs dummbells for reps
