    For the average man, that probably means without training. First time benching which isn't too bad a number for first time with proper form. I'm still trying to reach that.

    But if the average man worked out for a month or so their bench would easily be 60kg. So its not as bad as it sounds. Its just a lack of newb gains really. Also the average man eats like crap.

    Ill bet a normal guy in his twenties or thirties in decent shape could bench 60 KG the first time under a bench. Squat...tougher to say. Maybe also 60 KG. Seems like despite the fact that the potential to add weight on the squat is greater than the bench it takes a little while to feel comfortable under the bar. This is completely conjecture though

    well put, with proper form i began squatting around 15 kilograms, i can now do three times that amount in the 5x5 program...on the other hand, i started out benching 30 kilograms, and my bench is now the same as squat, so in the same period squat has increased by 30kgs and bench by 1o
