So my friend was telling me he benches 200 now, and I don't believe him because he's only 240 lbs! That's a little high for such a low weight! How do you count a max? Would 200 on each side of the barbell mean 200 pound bench max?
Respond quick for rep++!

200 pounds in total? or each side is 200 pounds?

It's not uncommon for people that lift to be able to bench press their bodyweight.
As it's already been stated, some people can bench double their bodyweight.

It's pretty much frowned upon if you CANT bench your weight lol
