I remember reading about how dubya could bench two plates for reps. George chan..
like dinner plates?
The biggest standard weight plate is 45 lbs, and so is the bar. A very common convention is to just say one plate per side (135 lbs), two plates per side (225lbs) etc
So the shorthand is 'he benches 2 plates' meaning 225.
I dunno if I can believe he benches 225. That's weightlifter territory. 135 is more believable, and barely.
i could bench over 225 in 10th grade and i was like 160 lbs and hardly a weightlifter

i remember when i was like 22 or so my roommate had a weight bench and we put all the plates on it and i was the only one who could bench it out of like six guys
it was one of those little dinky home benches it was like 130lbs
nerds, man
granted at the time i was doing carpentry and warehouse work and they were receptionists at art galleries and stuff
I do, and I don't mean just make a character named after me I mean digitize my consciousness and upload me into Rimworld thank you I'm very bored and listless.
If I knew I would never receive oral sex again I'd probably have killed myself already
Would you rather give up oral sex prospects or kissing prospects?
Don't do this to me
i have to save something for marriage
Shit wait do you
What do I have left
there's always figging
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

I would guess the average grown man who doesn't work out could bench in the 120-130 range? Wild speculation though.
Have they benched before? Because no not at all. Especially not for rep.
I just meant for one rep. What would you guess?
75 pounds. Benching is not a normal motion and if you haven't done it before anything over a hundo would be pretty heavy.
my very first time on a bench (in college, played ultimate but that's hardly a sport that develops your chest/arm muscles) I maxed at 135, which incidentally was my body weight at the time
75 seems hella low

and honestly some of them get really frighteningly close to "asian lady fries an egg and asks about your day"

My wife could do that before she even lifted.

Someone linked a video of one of those whisper talk videos where the lady wears a low cut top and pretends to be your spouse. It was creepy as fuck.

when i was in the gym briefly this year after taking 2 years off for my back, and was (still/am) a giant weakling, i could still do sets of 135

Extinct in the wild within my lifetime I'm betting
I mean this is the common response, I was just curious
Actually let me find research
I was about 170-175 but v lean
75 pounds. Benching is not a normal motion and if you haven't done it before anything over a hundo would be pretty heavy.

The answer is y you ungrateful louts
That was a lot of weight.
But then I might taste myself.

Hmmm I dunno.

a dude who even semi-regularly goes to the gym would be able to hit 225 with some work
Shit wait do you

Oh yeah I was talking to everyone EXCEPT you, obviously
Needing to relax and stretch but not over exert the muscle I strained in my back.
Need to walk in order for my hips to not lock up from my genetic disease.
Still being tired from the end of a cold wanting a nap.
Still another hour of work.

i stand up off the couch several times a day
Its an awkward motion if you've never done it. You're thinking of it as someone who already does it.

You're a monster

no one is that strong
