Is this an Okay Bench Press?

Question

I can bench press at my maximum about 115 pounds, I weigh 125 pounds. That is like 92%+ my body weight, is that okay? Should I be able to press more than my own body weight? Can most people press more than their body weight?

Answer 1

that's outstanding! the majority of adult males can not bench their own body weight (personally I think that's pathetic).

keep up the good work and remember to never substitute form for heavier weights. with resistance training injury occurs from improper form not from lifting heavy loads.
