Can Every Normal Test Male Reach a 315 Max Bench?

Yea its possible but benching is one of those lifts you have to do very consistently and focus on if you want to get a bigger bench.

A lot of it depends on genetics. I'd say mine are average/maybe slightly above average and I hit 315 natty on bench for 2 at about 15% bodyfat.

I was never able to get past that until I increased my multi & fish oil intake and was able to hit 315x5 at like 12-13%.

I also wrecked my shoulders in the process as I was doing both bench + overhead press twice per week at 85-90% intensity which was very dumb. As long as you're not overdoing it, staying consistent and utilizing the right ingredients if needed, 315 on bench is very doable.

I can tell you though that it's not going to be a huge physique changer.. it's just going to improve your ego for the most part. I've just stuck to dumbbell's, push-ups & machines and my results have been just as good if not better.

edit: proof of 315x5

I find that just lifting whatever the fuk you want and not paying attention to reps or weight and switching things up as long as you eat at a deficit gets your shredded and big

Tell that to brahs who weigh 180 and below...

I’ve found quite a big difference when I’ve really structured my training and diet. Maybe I just have bad genetics idk

I didnt reach a 315 bench until I was 26. I think most people can hit 315, they just need to continue lifting into their late 20s. Lifting is popular when you are a teenager or in college but most people stop after they graduate - if they were to continue into their late 20s their bodies would develop more and they would hit their peak genetic strength potential.

315 isn't that difficult for an average size lifter with some years of progression and experience. I wouldn't say "every" one can do it, but probably at least 50-60% if they focus and do it right.
