Re: WHAT WOULD BE THE NORMAL BENCH PRESS
i've always heard you should be able to do your body weight if untrained. however, most men can't do much over 150-185 from what i've seen -
Re: WHAT WOULD BE THE NORMAL BENCH PRESS
i agree..i always heard to be healthy, you should be able to press your body weight...but i dont know..i took a kid under my wing, he's clean 100% and after 6mos i just got him to benching 200lbs for 6-8 reps...he's 205lbs. we started he was 175 and could only press 135HE WHO MAKES A BEAST OF HIMSELF, GET'S RID OF THE PAIN OF BEING A MAN!!

Re: WHAT WOULD BE THE NORMAL BENCH PRESS
One big factor is the length of the persons arms. A short guy at 223 should be able to bench more than a tall guy if they had equal amount of muscle. I am 6'4 250# and the most I've ever put up was 485 for 1 rep. But I have seen short stocky guys about the same strength as me put up more.They call you paranoid until the worst happens, and in the aftermath they will call you a hero.Comment

Re: WHAT WOULD BE THE NORMAL BENCH PRESS
averaged out the goal is supposed to be 1.5 times your bodyweight, or 335 or so at 223 pounds bodyweight.
dealift is 2 times bodyweight
squat is 1.75Comment

Re: WHAT WOULD BE THE NORMAL BENCH PRESS
I've noticed that most guys that haven't trained can workout with between 115-135 for 4 sets. Bench is a movement that doesn't get really worked out doing regular physical labor so even very strong natural guys usually don't have a strong bench until they start training.They call you paranoid until the worst happens, and in the aftermath they will call you a hero.Comment

Re: WHAT WOULD BE THE NORMAL BENCH PRESS
i think there's a lot of factors involved. his he tall or short? how long has he been training? if he has long arms, the range of motion is much more than that of a guy with shorter arms, thus the longer arms would (typically) have a weaker bench.- TestifyHey, I never saw a skinny bodybuilder before - eat away!

Re: WHAT WOULD BE THE NORMAL BENCH PRESS
I heard somewhere that everyone should be able to do there bodyweight. You are considered STRONG if you can do 100 over, and VERY STRONG if you can do double your weight.Comment

Re: WHAT WOULD BE THE NORMAL BENCH PRESS
I don't believe there is any accurate way to determine someone's bench press who does not workout. Some people carry more fat than others and some carry more muscle. Also, some people have longer arms or shorter arms. However, if someone works out moderately and weighs 223 I would think they should be able to do their body weight for 1 rep but not if they don't work out, unless they are naturally stout.Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force.

Re: WHAT WOULD BE THE NORMAL BENCH PRESS
I wouldn't say bodyweight is a true goal for someone untrained to perform...never seen that like the posts above most men have a hard time doing 100-150lbs if untrained. I think a solidly fit individual (not a BB) should aim for bodyweight but it depends on other goals...I think a BB should be able to do his weight and an advanced BB should be able to get somewhere close to doubling his weight in a one rep max.
But its also how you train...I personally don't ever lift under a 3 rep bench anymore and I prefer higher reps with good form but still get close to double my weight...did 365 last monday (hung over too!) for 5 reps clean and I weigh 228.
But personally if a guy weighs around 220 and he can put 225 on a bar I give him respect.Comment
