Are you saying that the typical man who's 180cm 70kg and doesn't work out at all, but doesn't have any diseases or health problems, would be able to bench 70kg

Are you saying that the typical man who's 180cm 70kg and doesn't work out at all, but doesn't have any diseases or health problems, would be able to bench 70kg their first time?
- marcuskane2 2y agoI'm saying if an adult man can't bench press 70kg then they are unhealthily frail, yes. "Doesn't work out at all" is a problem. That's unhealthy and decreases their quality of life and shortens their lifespan. Our concept of "normal" in Western countries today is so far removed from what humans evolved to do and is good for us. The most basic physical activity (whether playing sports, doing manual labor or any exercise program) should be enough to do a bodyweight benchpress. 2x bodyweight is an accomplishment that requires dedicated weight lifting. 1x bodyweight is something that basically every man 100 years ago could have done.
