The funny thing about benching is that so many people lie about their poundages that no one knows for sure what the average non-juicer should be able to bench...I've heard that a person should be able to bench their own weight but I am not sure if that's true or not...I am benching 245 for 6-8 reps x 5 sets with a 1 rep max of 255...from what I have seen in my gym there are very few people who can bench two 45lb plates on each side of the bar (total of four)...some can do it, including me, and I have only seen two guys bench 315 lbs (three 45lb plates on each side of the bar)...again this does not include juicers...If a non juicer can bench 315, he is truly a badass...I am working my way toward that mark and also I am benching 80 lb dumbbells and working my way toward 100 pounders...it's hard, but psychologically I keep pushing myself....I think some of us don't lift as much weight as we shouold because we are embarrassed and afraid others in the gym are watching/laughing at us.
