At age eighteen the average is about 180, but that number drops with age.
There are several factors. A persons body weight and age are a pretty good indicator. This is very general of course. To be a good bench presser its usually a matter of simple practice and technique. However if you can rep your own weight you are most likely above average. If you can max out at 100lbs past your weight thats also a good indicator your pretty strong. Ex: 175 body weight x 10 or 275 at one rep max.
it will depend on what kind of bench it is :P
Don't know what the answer is for the average, but I will be 63 this year and can bench 200 lbs.
yes
A healthy man can bench his own weight, the average being around 185 lbs. A gorilla, highland silverback, the biggest of the gorillas, is said to be between 12 and 20 times stronger than a man. Just multiply 185 by those figures and it will give a ball park figure of what a gorilla can do if taught to bench press. On the animal channel, it stated that a large male silverback gorilla has the strength to press over 4600 pounds.
Gene Rychlak had the heaviest bench press at 1010 pounds.
Pounds the average 175-pound man (aka : average weight, average height is 5'9 1/2) can bench-press one time: Age20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69Lbs 180 158 143 128 116taking an average from this gives the result that the average male, ages between 20 and 69 can bench press
It mostly depends in your weight, a really good bench for any age is your own body weight.
It all depends on how much you weight, how long you have lifted and many other factors. A good scale to follow by is your body weight. The average 17 year old should be benching at or above your body weight. This is what a person should be able to lift, but if you take the average 17 yr. old the can not bench their weight.. take the average doest play football or wrestle, which is the 2 primary sports where weight lifting is part of the program. They will lift weights in basketball but it is for a different purpose not for bruit strength its more for stamina. Hell the average person should be able to do this as well but most people who do not work out can not lift their weight. And Lebron James CANNOT bench 400 lbs. Shaq cant do much more then 400 lbs.
It is possible, yes. Everyone is built differently depending on genetics and fitness levels, so it's not a guarantee. There exist some boys of that age bench pressing over 300, and others who cannot move their arms at all. A very high level of fitness is required to bench press 230 pounds, so it is not average nor expected.
