“Do you even own land, bro?”
Assuming in pounds, I think the average American does this by standing up. It’s not really impressive.
Your confusing Bench with Squat.
Bench pressing one’s own body weight is estimated to be achievable by less than 10% of men in the general population, and potentially less than 1% with proper form.
Since 255 lbs exceeds the average American male body weight (~200 lbs), the percentage of adults capable of this lift is significantly lower than 10%.
So, I’m happy to be in the top 1-5% of the elites. Now get back to the mines noodle arms!
Benching is not standing up that would be a squad
Squat*
*for reps.
Unpopular opinion, but avarage one reppers don’t count, as those are always done with god awful form, using as much momentum as possible and almost no control over the weight.
1 RMS count only when preformed to competition standards.
For reps would mean that there is more control in it and the reps are cleaner.
How many we talking? 3? 5? 20?
3 would probably be bare minimum to qualify for reps, but the usual 8-12 range might be more appropriate aka working weight. It ensures there are at least some good reps in there. Obviously anything above that is more impressive.
the usual 8-12 range
Define “usual,” because in most strength programs I see, they rarely call for more than 5 reps in a work set (unless doing AMRAP where you need to do at least 3 or 5).
And I personally do my 1RM testing to competition form, but I get what you’re saying.
Agreed
Is this kg or pounds?

Is this what Sally Hemmings was told?
Your average cheeseburger weighs in at around 225 grams.
Human rights for everyone!
What’s the age of achievement, like can you hit 225 at 25 and that counts for life?
I’m glad he didn’t include units. 225mg for the wimp I mean win.
