Most men who don't lift weights cannot bench their own bodyweight until they have trained for a while. If you weigh 95lbs and have never lifted before start with 60-80lbs for 8-12 repswhen that becomes easy, obviously add a bit more weight

I weigh 145lbs and I can bench 190 (1 rep max) but I've trained for about 1 year

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 than 150 pounds and your really strong in my example.

I weigh 145 and bench 170. You should at least bench your body weight.

An advanced 225 athlete should be able to bench press about 300lbs.
