all depending on you diet and work out of course

depending on what your weight is of course setting goal is a major part of keeping your focus, so if you weight 300lb and you can only bench 90lbs start with a smaller goal or you will find that reaching your goal will be hard and long... youll end up giving up
i was 170 and started at 90 for safe zone to get my stabalizer muscle use to a bench motion by the time i reached my own weight i was 160.... im now at around 190 and still weight 160-165lbs my goal for now is to hit 200... im still farely new at benching hasnt even been a year since i started working out lol
to every one their own pace
just keep at it
