Does “how much can you bench?” measure a man’s strength?

Re: Guys: Bench Press

if its merely a yes/no question ... the answer is No, it doesnt measure a man's strength.

Re: Guys: Bench Press

once upon a time, i was able to bench 320 lbs (3 reps)...and with a spotter, i've gone up to 350 lbs...that was when i was training regularly...

recently, i've started training again, after i dunno how long...and can now bench 210...trying to work my way up there!!

Re: Guys: Bench Press

I don't think you can say that A is stronger than B, just because A can bench press a higher weight. Obviously heavier guys will be stronger with everything else being equal. The real test is to look at what you can lift in relation to your own body weight.
