There you have your answer

 

[Deleted member 18418]

How long have you been training

 

[Deleted member 16944]

That's pretty good. Stronger than most of the male population if it's clean reps of 5 and you don't need a spotter to help you etc.

Here are some strength standards to compare yourself against:

completely insignificant in 2022. you need to be able to do at least 300lbs for 5 reps to claim that you are lifting. I was doing 225 for 15reps and i was invisible.

bruh that's not just kinda fat.

To answer ur question that's a decent bench for your weight depending on how long you've been training. Intermediate. It would be much more impressive if you got lean and maintained the same level of strength which is doable

No fucking way you’re only 17% bf at that weight with that bench lmao

 

[Deleted member 18159]

That’s good. I hardly know anyone that can bench more than 225 for one rep

Are you trolling or serious? Those numbers put you at a 24 ffmi which is completely impossible considering you would be benching well over three plates if that were true. Your real body fat percentage is well above 20

Yeah that’s not 17 percent. Definitely looks over 20 but I can tell you have good fat distribution genetics, because of that it doesn’t look too bad tbh

You can make it to 12% by the end of June if you’re consistent and don’t run a little baby deficit
