I worked at a gym for like 5 years, everyone on the internet who says beginners are hitting 225lbs bench within their first 3 months are full of shit and don't even lift. Most actual beginners, as in people who never lifted before (different story for people who lifted for years but then stopped, and are beginning again) are benching less than 100lbs at the start lol
oh and it's also common for people who have been showing up for over 3 years to say they've only lifted for a year too
