What constitutes a good bench press? (weight)

>>40004659
Lifting the bar off the rests.
Lowering it down to your chest.
Pressing it back up to the starting position.

Benching your BW x 10 makes you stronger than 99% of the human population.

Seriously? That's hard to believe.

Is a 24kg one arm db bench any good?

>>40004704
Relative strength, yes, it's true.

Examples.

>My brother does not lift, he is 140kg body-weight, and can only Bench Press 60kg for 5 reps, he is 28 years old.

>My cousin does not lift, he is 58kg body-weight and can only Bench Press the 20kg bar for 5 reps, and he is 20 years old.

>I am 80kg and I can bench press 80kg for 15 reps.

I'm not a math nerd, but I believe me bench pressing 80kg for 15 reps at 80kg body-weight makes me like 300% stronger than my brother/cousin in relative strength. Okay I made 300% up, but if any math nerd wants to do it, go ahead.


Here's the info

80kg BW + 80kg Bench Press + 15 reps (Me)

vs

140kg BW + 60kg Bench Press + 5 reps (My brother)

vs

58kg BW + 20kg Bench Press + 5 reps (My cousin)

How much % stronger am I than them? Work it out if you're bored.

Ok then

Brother: 60kgx5 = 69kg RM
Cousin: 20kgx5 = 23kg RM
You: 80kgx15 = 118kg RM

>>40004688
Try 100%. The record is under 1100 for fuck's sake

>>40004919
Sorry I read that wrong. I thought you meant your bodyweight times 10 as in a 200lb lifter benching 2000lb. Yes, I'm retarded

>>40004718
For how many reps? But short answer, no.

Bodyweight within a year

Bodyweight x1.5+ is impressive

>>40004718
I got to 24kg DBs within 3 months of chest press. Absolutely not.

1.5X bodyweight is pretty solid after 2-3 years of training
1.75X bodyweight is really good in that same period, also pretty solid if you've been training for 3-4 years
2X bodyweight is goddamn impressive no matter who you are but may or may not be elite depending on your actual bodyweight

225 (aka lmao2pl8) for five reps is generally considered the *bare minimum* to be considered "strong". (in other words, the "2" in 1/2/3/4.)

fuck outta here, unless you bench over 3 plates relative strength is all that matters
