Bench Press question?

I'm 6 Foot and weigh 189 Pounds, my max bench press is 215. How much should I be able to bench?

Answer:

If you can bench more than your body weight, you are doing fine.
your body weight is good so that is really amazing
It all depends in what shape you are in and how developed your muscles are for lifting if you just started lifting then your ahead of most since you can at least lift your own weight which many people cant
That is a complicated question, but it seems to me that you are fairly advanced in your work out. There is no set figure that you should have to be able to bench press, since everybody's genetics are different. In my book anybody who is able to press 200 pounds is strong and 250 pounds is getting up above that which most people can do. But with enough time and dedication who knows how much you will be able to lift. Just keep off of the drugs and get there naturally. Good luck.
