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!
Assuming in pounds, I think the average American does this by standing up. It’s not really impressive.
Your confusing Bench with Squat.
