No that's not weak. Don't worry about if it is strong either, just lift and leave your ego at the door.

I weigh 5-8lbs more than you, and I can bench probably around 10lbs more than you.
I consider myself weak, so obviously I consider you weak as well.

It all depends on perspective.

Hahaha chin up dude! Most guys our age who can put up 250+ on the bench press are either doing little-to-no other exercises on chest days OR full of hot-air. So keep doing your reps, do your 1RM like once every couple months or month, and you'll still be stronger than all your friends :P

[Ensix]

It's definitely not weak, everything above 2 plates is decent, unless you weigh over 200lbs.

What the hell is 230 lbs? You're putting 225 on there and counting the weight of the clips aren't you?

well i tried benching 225 today and was so close. im probably at 215-220 right now. i think of myself as way above average for my school, just because most dont lift. but as far as a strong chest, no. I think of my chest as my weak point compared to my back and arms. but idc what other people think im just concerned with improving.
