Don't know, don't care. I don't try to max out weights... you get more benefit from reps of 8 anyway! I'm also not as big on weights as on pushups, situps, etc. Besides, there are more useful standards than the bench press. Squats are more useful in everyday life. So are curls... especially if you are helping your mom go shopping!

Bench press? Ummm....25 kilos, don't know in pounds... when you weigh 60 kgs..I reckon thats plenty... I can fireman lift 65/70 kgs for about 300 metres...and lug 40 kg cement bags all day, (if I have to)... but it's all relevant I guess... and I agree, squats, push ups and crunches are more important...for core strength, and major muscle groups.
