All I would say is, that's not bad. Keep it up.
However your question is all about comparability. For instance, is it great compared to the usual gym rats? Recreational lifters? Powerlifters? People of your age? Furthermore, have you trained 1 year, 3 years etc?
The main thing is to improve. If you are concerned about this lift such that you are wondering if you are good enough, then let this concern drive you to bench even more; 90kg, then 95kg, then 2 plates.
But to put it in top level competitive perspective, in the 60kg class, Joe Bradley bench pressed 397 (180kg) raw in a full meet, and Rick Couch got 410 (186kg) in (I think) a bench-only situation.

I've always found that t-nation article to be a little weird on their multiplicators.
They say to be in the highest category (Great) you need a 2x bw benchpress but only a 2.75x bw deadlift?
I think the 2x bw bench raw is literally unachieveable for most people, while the 2.75x deadlift is much easier to get.Misc Strength Crew

Chances are, if you can bench 2X BW raw, you're going to have a very difficult time DLing 2.75X BW (and the same can be said backwards). I've only met a handful of 2X bw raw benchers. They are rare. But almost all good middleweight PLers can get 2.75bw DL with 5 years of training.
I agree with you though.

^This. Which is why wilks is used (for those of you who do not know)...because size doesn't equate to strength. LW and MW's can total 10x BW. There is no way SHW's will be able to do this.
There is however a debate on the accuracy of wilks being used on just a single lift.
IMO, a strong bench to me personally for a 62kg BW male would be 100kg+ raw and 120kg+ single ply.Last edited by jk.law; 01-12-2011 at 08:13 PM.
