Is saying you can bench press saying you can lift that weight 5 times or just saying you can lift it once and then you are done?

Well this terminology is different for everyone. If you look at the question literally, if you can bench press one complete rep of any said weight than you have "benched" that amount. Right? Personally I consider myself able to bench a weight if I can do two technically complete repetitions. The bottom line is to use proper technique, be safe, and always use a spotter when bench pressing, especially if you plan on maxing out. Basically you want to work out with a comfortable weight than you can do 10 to 15 times in a series of three or so sets. The Max-out term is just kind of a show off thing if you ask me. I work out with 150lbs to 200lbs on the bench press in sets of 3 or 4, 10-15 reps/set. I can "max" around 325. Remember safety first. Let the show-off's do what they do.

How much can 50 cent bench press?
The rule of thumb is that you should never max out your weight, for fear of doing serious damage to a muscle (such as tearing it, or separating it from its connecting tissue). Ideally, you should bench press at a maximum a weight that you can lift 8-10 times, but that you need a spotter's help on the last lift. When you can press it 12 or more times without the spotter's help, then you can safely add a bit more weight.

What is an above average bench press?
There are several factors. A persons body weight and age are a pretty good indicator. This is very general of course. To be a good bench presser its usually a matter of simple practice and technique. However if you can rep your own weight you are most likely above average. If you can max out at 100lbs past your weight thats also a good indicator your pretty strong. Ex: 175 body weight x 10 or 275 at one rep max.
