Average Bench Press Numbers
Bench pressing is a classic way to gauge your strength, but don’t get too caught up in the numbers. While the average guy in his thirties can bench press around 90% of his body weight, it’s important to remember that everyone is different.
It’s crucial to consider factors like your size, build, and experience level when determining your benchmark. And if you’re starting out, don’t be discouraged if you can only lift the standard 45-pound bar.
To get comfortable with the technique and avoid injury, practice with a training bar that weighs 22 pounds. Then, gradually add weight and focus on maintaining proper form.
Check out the bench press averages to understand where you stand, but remember that these are just guidelines. Set your own goals and work towards them at your own pace. Keep striving for progress, not perfection!
Average Bench Press For Men
When it comes to bench pressing, men usually lift heavier weights than women. As they hit their twenties and thirties, men tend to be at their strongest and can make impressive gains. However, once they hit their forties, their bench press performance may start to decrease.
But don’t get too caught up in the rules! There are always exceptions. These charts can give you an idea of the average weight a man can bench press, but remember that everyone is different. Keep these factors in mind as you work towards your own goals.
