If I bench press 100 pounds doing 5 sets of 5, does that mean I weight lifted 500 pounds?....or just 100 pounds. Sorry if this sounds dumb still learning all this stuff.

    If you did 5 sets of 5 reps of 100 pounds, your bench press volume was 2500 lbs, but you only lifted 100 pounds, just 25 times.
