How much should you be able to bench press before you set foot in the gym?
220lbs
I was barely able to do 95 a year ago, at 215 now
as much as you can
bout 350.

If you can do a proper push up half your body weight is a good rule of thumb
>>35499382
If you can't bench this arbitrary number, how th fuck are you supposed to increase it without setting foot in a gym?
65 should be a dyels starting weight.
the bar. otherwise you would have to work your way up with DBs.
i've actually seen a guy who couldn't bench the bar.
i hope he makes it.
I started at 37kg
what's funny, I started at 37kg for squats too
now I'm at 100kg for squats and 62 for bench and can't quite get bench going

noone cares how much you lift as long as you do it properly
Any amount at all, your going to the gym to get stronger.
I used to live with a guy who could only just bench the bar for sets of 5. God knows how someone ended up such a pussyole
60kg

The bar.
I was benching 100kg when I first set foot but I was already working out for a longer period of time with the basic body-weight exercises like pull ups, push ups and dips. Anyhow most beginners I've seen start with around 30 to barely 40kg.

Seriously
Not even to say "Lol look at this weak fucking faggot" it's like, how do you even get that far in life and have such an utter lack in muscle mass?
You'd have to deliberately avoid doing anything physical.
You should be able to lift your motherfucking ass off the chair and go to the gym.

This whole question means you are worried about what some other gym fag thinks of you. Before you go to the gym it's far more important that you get rid of this attitude than make sure you can bench a set amount. The gym is for you and you alone. I'm not saying be rude to people there but put your fucking headphones on and do your thing. If that means you bench the bar for the first few times so be it. That's what it's there for.
Back when I started I think I was benching something like 80 lbs. Probably got laughed at by some bros but whatever, I do a lot better now.
