I'm 175lbs and currently at 205lbs for my bench press. I don't train chest more than once a week. Just curious, what's a typical weight for men? Or women? Post your weight, your 1RM, how often you train chest, maybe how long you've been training. Thanks y'all. Just want to see where I'm at.

    Thank you. I appreciate your response. I've also noticed that a 1.5xBodyWeight is not uncommon.

    I benched 160kg (352lbs) at 95kg in 2015. Since then I haven't focused on strength training so doubt I could get anywhere near that right now.

    Previous PR/meet bench was 170 lbs at 215 lbs body weight, about 1 year of lifting.
    Currently weighing 185 and last gym max was 165 lbs. I'm now on my 3rd year, but didn't train much for most of 2016. Benching 2x a week now and cutting again. Hoping to add some more upper body mass in the future and bring it up a lot, because that girl-poverty-bench.

    385 right now with a 345 incline weighing 249. Going for 395 two weeks from now. My 2017 goals are 405 flat and 365 incline at age 50. Power lifted back in the day, had a 505 flat and 405 incline at 34 weighing 260-270.

    This is a hard thing to generalize. I never weight trained in my life until about 3 years ago and I am not trying to gain, just maintain. I was actually able to BP the most at my lightest weight because I was training regularly at the time, now I run more and lift less so my BP has suffered. All that to say, previously untrained, 160lb. BW and 1RM was 185lb. I have gained some back, now I weigh 185 and my 1RM would prolly be closer to 150 now, I haven't tried in a while.

    Been training for five years, seriously with my coach for just over two.

    Gym max is 93.5/205.7, platform is 92.5/203.5 at a body weight of 88kg.

    Bench is anywhere from 2-4 times a week.

    Awesome. Got some great input. I have been consistently training for just over 4 months, but I'm hoping to gain more strength. Thank y'all for you're responses. I'd love to be in a competition soon.

    I weigh 142lbs...my bench 1RM is like 80lbs (lol). Been training since May 2016 and was doing Stronglifts until last week where I switched to 5/3/1 in hopes that it will get me stronger.

    If you can bench 205 with 4 months of training then that's very impressive. I think it took me at least a year if not longer. When I started, the bare bar was too heavy, now I can do 335. It's been about 4.5 years.
