You're better off than me. I don't know what bench pressing is.
Actually I probably do, I just don't understand what bench pressing means, which is different.
Actually, fifty pounds would be about the amount that Cassie can bench (considering her accident, and all). An untrained, healthy, adult woman, weighing 100lbs, should be able to bench roughly 50lbs. Here's a chart.
And, Zarkenis, a bench press is as such:
1) Lie on top of a bench, on your back.
2) Behind and above your head should be a stand, on which rests a long bar with an equal amount of weight at either end.
3) Lift this bar up, and move it until it is above your chest.
4) In a controlled manner, lower the bar, and raise it, without arching your back. Do this as many times as you feel comfortable.
5) Replace the bar onto the stand.
Congrats! You've just used a bench press.
Of course, there are different types of benches you can use, to isolate specific muscles in you chest and shoulders. And there are different techniques to do the same. But that's the general concept of a bench press.
Oh. That.
Yeah, I've seen it before.
See, what I meant by "I don't understand what it means" was that I didn't understand the meaning of the words "bench press", because I'm not a native English speaker, so yeah.
