    under 10% of men can bench 200 lbs, is this true?

    talking to a guy yesterday in the gym and he claims under 10% of men can bench 200 lbs, anyone know if this is true?

    Most people who do not have some type of prior training probably won't be able to bench that amount.
    Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

    That's probably an overstatement already. Even on this board most people who claim a 250lbs bench couldn't move half that much.

    I'd say that it might be less than that, like 5%. There are alot of really strong guys out there but I think you need to bet used to pushing weight on a bar, the technique etc. Just cause someone could bench 200lbs+, doesn't mean that they are stronger than 90% of guys. Someone who works hard labour is probably really strong, just not with a barbell etc.

    10% of weight trained men or 10% of men in general? The average UNTRAINED male could not bench 135 with a gun to his head.

    if he meant that they could do that if they worked towards it, then he'd be completely right, anyone who works towards it can get a 200 lb. bench for sure. it might take a lot of training, but it will happen. excluding some kind of injury/disability.

    the lift that i find most impressive is when guys can shoulder press 200+. that just amazes me to no end. (i can't do that, for the record.)

    Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

    The average, every day man could not lift that! 200lbs is like 91kg.

    But as for people who train on a regular basis for the past few years, then that 10% statement would not be true.
    Quadzilla!

    does that mean 1 time?

    Cause I couldnt bench 200lbs 5 months ago, but I just did 225 X 1 last week.

    pretty unimpressive on this board but i dont care, i'm proud.

    that sounds fairly accurate to me if out of all men since most dont lift on a regular basis.

    Bench press works muscles that, for most people, are not used in their everyday lives. So I suspect that 10% number might be a little high but it depends on the sample group. What age are we talking here?

    Also it's good to be in that 10%
    Many of life's failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
