Here's what my high school football coach used as the benchmark for his players: Power clean: body weight Bench: 1.5x body weight Squat: 2x body weight Dead lift: 2.5x body weight Probably less than half of the guys could actually lift that much. I would say for a regular joe, if you can bench more than your weight and squat more than 1.5x your weight, you're not doing too bad.

∙ 14y agoThis really depends on the sort of lift you're talking about, and will vary greatly from 'average man' to 'average man'.
If you're talking about a bench press, Men's Health I believe once reported that the average male (over 18) is 135 pounds (roughly 60kg).

∙ 14y agoDepending on your weight, if you weight 150lb I would go with 80lb.
For 90 - 110 lb I would say maximum 55lb.
The more your weight is the more you will likely lift without getting hurt.
