Thread: How hard/common is a 1.7xbw bench?

I’m weighing in at ~168lb and my PR is 280lb (from 2-3 months ago) and I’m on the Verge of hitting 290lb and should be able to within the next 4 weeks. So I’m around 1.7xbw on the bench.

Honestly, how hard is that? I’ve never actually been to a gym or have ever competed so I don’t know. I’ve just been lifting in my basement for the past 3 years. People like to say that 1.5x is strong and 2.0x seems elite from my understanding.
For common people it’s probably high but what about in competition?

Somewhere between strong and elite.
