The infamous what can you bench question..

I'm not a strong guy but I'm finally up to nearly 3 plates aside for about 5 reps.

Currently at 20% bodyfat sitting at 200 pounds, 5.8" & on gear.

Whats average for my size.

Well saying that you can nearly bench 3 plates for about 5 reps could be anything, that could be 275 for 4 reps, its incredibly vague, and if you looking for whats respectable for someone your size the real numbers would be a good start

I say almost* because I did it on a smith since I had no spotter.

That for me is insane! Dbol is my new best friend.

A guy your size on gear should easily be able to bench nearly 750 raw for about 12 reps.
