To be honest bro, it really depends on how much you weigh and how long you have been lifting.  I benched 300 for the first time after about 3 years of training, during my senior year of high school.

i think 300 in most cases i have seen is more impressive than respectable, but it all depends on how much you weigh.

i think 1.5 you body weight is pretty good, but if you can push 1.25 of you body weight and your not training for strength i think its still respectable.

265 lbs for guys - 165 for lasses.
that's what I would consider respectable for someone of average weight.

Guys benchpressing 300 natural are pretty strong IMHO.

If you can benchpress 440 lbs natural in competition you're a exceptionally strong IMO or has managed to bulk yourself up to 400+ lbs.8)
because at that weight anyone who trains will be able to bench 440. ;D

315+ is good for a natural.

juiced depends on how much drugs are being used i guess.

I suppose it depends what the parameters are - if you take a guy who has never trained in his life aged 21-35 of normal build I would say a respectable one rep max bench would be between 225 and 250lbs.

A raw bench press that's near or over 1.5 x body weight is very respectable for anyone.

that guy is so full of shit it aint even funny.
I saw an 18 year old who's pretty much world class in the 165 lbs class do a fairly tough single with 315 lbs - with a shirt he's capable of around 420 lbs.
Just to give you an idea how delusional The Coach is.
