You should be able to bench between 1-1.5 of your body weight. So, if you weigh 100 pounds you should bench between 100-150. Lower than 100 pounds your considered weak. Higher â¦ than 150 pounds and your really strong in my example.
For example, suppose you've been doing 10 reps of bench presses with 175 pounds and you increase the weight to 190 pounds. Because the weight is heavier, you will lift fewer reps, but as your muscles accommodate over time, you will again be able to lift more reps.
