What percentage of men can benchpress twice their bodyweight?

Answer 1

Yes, with a little bit of determination and workouts you can bench double your weight, though that takes some time. Get into the gym. Remember, Sleep BIG, Eat BIG, LIFT BIG.

Whoever answered above is absolutely right. Almost everyone has the potential to bench their bodyweight and i would reasonably guess that almost every motivated, disciplined male can bench press twice his bodyweight eventually. There are even some prime lifters who can bench press almost 3 TIMES their own bodyweight!

Answer 2

Almost anyone can bench press. No one should bench press without a spotter. A person can frequently bench press far more weight than he can press. Many people have practiced bench pressing alone and had the weights drop on their chest. Without a spotter there, they were unable to remove them. As a result they died. For that reason, a lot of places that have weights do not have benches for bench pressing. It is not difficult, but too dangerous.

Answer 3

Very few men can properly bench-press twice their weight. I don't know any statistics. Even most athletic men cannot come close to twice their weight.

Answer 4

yeahh...after an extensive training regime and good diet, I weighed 190 and and put up 400, and that was after a perfect system. it can be done with dedication

Answer 5

Yes, but it's highly unlikely to occur. Such a feat, for men or women, requires years of dedicated training.

Answer 6

Theoretically, yes, but it's never been done before.

Answer 7

Yes
