A legit 2pl8 bench is actually very rare. Just look around next time you're in a public gym, you'll barely ever see anyone lifting that much. And half the time you do see it, it's some 350lbs bloatmaxxer

Average gym goers aren't that serious and don't really know how to train or eat to get seriously big or strong, so most will never even touch that amount of weight. I think a good amount of /fit/ are actually not average gym goers, and are autistic enough about lifting to take it that seriously and get decent numbers though

And also keep in mind
>Benching 225lbs lean Vs fat are completely different games
>Most people who say they bench 225 really just do half a rep with help from a spotter
>Some of those who claim they bench 225 really mean they're doing it on a fucking chest press or smith machine

I think probably 20% of this board can legitimately lift that much, with half of those being fat
