When I was seventeen I benched 110 lbs. I doubt I could do it today--I was in a flag troupe, which really works the arms, so we tended to have some good upper-body strength--but I didn't go around putting that on a t-shirt or anything.

(ETA: I assumed from the reaction of my gym teacher that 110 was fairly impressive, but have no idea if it truly is or not, so I'm sorry if it's just average and I'm stupid for thinking it was good! I really don't know what the average amount women can lift is or what would impress people who really lift.)

It depends on your size and goals, honestly. If you were doing it as a little accessory work, that's good. If you were a powerlifter you would never mention it.

It's all about what you're training for.
