I'm an 18 year old guy, 6 feet tall and I weigh 257 pounds, I am able to do 5-10 no-legged push ups consecutively. How much do you think I could max on a bench press?
Considering I can do push ups of 100% of my body weight. I haven't really ever bench pressed much though. I am just genuinely curious.

Well infection, there is really no way to tell you this. Bench press and push ups are totally different, and your weight works opposite in both of them. You could be very strong with push ups, and then weaker with the bench press, as when you're laying down, you're doing the opposite of what you're doing with the push ups? Make sense? You'll just have to go try it and see!

if the body is symmetrical a push-up would be equivalent to 60% of the total body weight. there is no correlation between the amount of push ups that can be done with the weight that could be used to bench press.

it really depends on you... you'll never know until you try it...
i'm 5'11, 200lbs, can do 12 push up in a row, and i can benched at around 110~120lbs... still hoping that i can improve...
