What is a good bench press for my age?
Strength tends to peak between about 20 and 35 and slowly drops after that. The table shows the middle (50th percentile) and stronger levels at each age.
Who am I being compared with?
Adults who lift weights, not the whole population. Beating the 50th percentile here means you're stronger than a typical gym-goer your age.
Should I use my one-rep max?
Yes. Use the heaviest single rep you have done with good form. If you only know your sets of several reps, an estimate is fine.
