What percentage of us men can bench press 250 pounds?

Answer 1

Less than 1%. The average male that doesn't lift weights would be lucky to bench 140-150 lbs one time. 250 lbs is a serious bench press, even for the physically fit and regular exercisers. Dedication to the bench press, time, and proper diet is needed for this kind of lift, and even then most guys will not reach this weight on the bench...

Answer 2

It depends on the person and if they are physically fit. If your just a started out then yes it will be heavy. People slowly works into benching heavier weights you cannot bench heavy weights quickly because its dangerous and you need a spotter. Plan in simple it doesn't matter how much you can bench but how much you workout and get results. Answering your question it depends on the person and can not be put in a percentage.

Answer 3

at least 32 in Florida i don't know about the us

Well im not sure where the above answerer got his or her info, but i can assure you that the number of 400+ benchers in Florida is far above 32, probably in the hundreds at least. Considering that I personally know a dozen guys who can do that here in lil ol Cedar Rapids, IA, i would have to guess that there are tens of thousands in the US who can do that. Of course, going up into the 450, 500, 600 range will lead to exponentially smaller numbers of individuals.

Answer 4

around 80%

There is no way that 80% of men can bench press their own weight. I would be surprised if 10% can. Maybe 80% of men who lift weights on a regular basis. Where di you get your figure of 80%. You are way off base.

Answer 5

very small percentage.

Answer 6

1%
