It all depends on how much you weight, how long you have lifted and many other factors. A good scale to follow by is your body weight. The average 17 year old should be benching at or above your body weight.

This is what a person should be able to lift, but if you take the average 17 yr. old the can not bench their weight.. take the average doest play football or wrestle, which is the 2 primary sports where weight lifting is part of the program. They will lift weights in Basketball but it is for a different purpose not for bruit strength its more for stamina.

Hell the average person should be able to do this as well but most people who do not work out can not lift their weight.

And LeBron James CANNOT bench 400 lbs. Shaq cant do much more then 400 lbs.

It depends on the average male. Some can bench-press more weight than others, depending on their pectoral, biceps and back-muscle strength they have. Some can bench-press as much as 300 lbs; others may only be able to bench-press only around 100 lbs. Just like there are many different body types of each man, there are different levels of strength that each and every individual 21 y.o. man has.

I'm guessing that the average raw bench press for a 19 year old kid is around 165-225. That's just an average as there are some with presses ranging from 85 (one friend of mine) to 850+ (world record for a junior lifter).
