The bench press max chart is the old school method of approximating your 1 REP MAX bench press. Use these charts as a guide to what you can bench for a maximum of one rep.
Instructions
This bench press max chart can help you work out your 1 REP MAX. This is the simple "old school" method of calculating your 1 REP MAX. It's simple to use, just select the weight from the side column and the number of reps from the top. Where the two connect is your approximate 1 REP MAX bench press. The first table is in pounds and the second table is in kilograms.
Remember, this chart is only meant to be used as a guide. The only way you're going to know your true 1 REP MAX is to get in the gym and do it!
To calculate your bench the easy way use our Bench Press (1RM) Calculator.

I have not maxed out yet but I am able to bench 240lbs at the age of 17 and I'm 225lbs,I'm being told that that's very very impressive. AM I being patronized or is that actually crazy good?

So I’m a bit confused.. so the left side is the weight of the bar with weights on or it’s the pounds of someone weight ??

Weight on the left in blue is the weight you use. The numbers on the top are the reps you can do with that weight. The point that they meet on the chart is your estimated max.
Example - You can do 135 pounds for 2 reps, then your estimated max is 141.3 pounds. Hope this helps!

I’m 76 and stopped lifting weights 25 years ago, when I could bench 315lbs 3 reps. 275lbs 2 sets 10 reps. 250lbs 4 sets 10 reps. Started lifting again 9 months ago. 5’8” 188 lbs can bench press 225 1 rep. Just want to stay fit and trim and lose 12 pounds. Losing weight is my challenge today

For anyone to be benching over their bodyweight is a notable achievement in the grand scheme of the world. To be doing it as a teenager is awesome, Jayden. That deadlift is big time, too. Keep it up and keep us posted on your progress. Thanks for reading M&S!

I really don’t understand these charts. Is the vertical number body weight and the horizontal the number of reps that you can lift at the weight where the two numbers meet?

Up and down on the left is the weight on the bar. Right is the reps.
For example, find 150 pounds on the left, then go over to 12 reps on the right. You get 208.1 pounds. Hope this helps.

At 38, 225lbs, I worked my way to a half rep of 350. Then the baby brought home rsv and it turned into pneumonia. Then the flu, then pneumonia again, then covid, then pneumonia again. All since December. I lost everything i worked for and now weigh 265. Finally got 265 on the bench again today. Can't wait till I'm back to where I was. Any advice I'm losing hope. Thanks

Focus on your sticking point and work to improve that. If you go heavier and have trouble locking out, commit more work to triceps. If you have trouble coming off the chest, then dumbbells and shoulder work could help. Other than that, stick with it and remember that you did it once, you can do it again.

I was 12 and could bench 250. Is this unnaturally strong. I am currently 14 and probably close to 2x as strong as I was.

At 14 yrs old, I was a 113 lb high school freshman. At the end of the year, I maxed 235lbs on bench. i mentioned this to a friend and he was shocked and called me a liar. Was i unnnaturally strong?

Seeing is believing. Take him down to the gym
show him what you've got. I personally don't come
across kids benching double their weight

Finally a chart that coverts my 700lbx12 bench set into a one rep max. Great stuff. Good to know I can aim for a shade over 900lb next time I max.

I am 49, my actual bench press is 365 with goal in mind of 405 soon. I am 6'2"and body weight of 270. Athletic body, not fat. I am starting to see my abs, I just need to lower that fat layer for summer time....

I have not worked out since freshman PE. I am now 32 years old 5’8 175. I recently purchased weights. I benched 250 squatted 300 and deadlifted 400. Bench was 100% effort squat and deadlift were tough but as I don’t want to hurt myself we’re not max effort. Is this respectable?

I turned 15 a little over 3 months ago. I started weightlifting with my dad in March, and I've seen some major progress since then. When I first started, regular reps were 135lbs and my max was 165lbs. As of now (6 months later) My regular reps are 190lbs-200lbs, depending on how I feel, and my max is 230lbs.
