Benching is not standing up that would be a squad

Assuming in pounds, I think the average American does this by standing up. It’s not really impressive.

Your confusing Bench with Squat.
Bench pressing one’s own body weight is estimated to be achievable by less than 10% of men in the general population, and potentially less than 1% with proper form.
Since 255 lbs exceeds the average American male body weight (~200 lbs), the percentage of adults capable of this lift is significantly lower than 10%.
So, I’m happy to be in the top 10% of the elites. Now get back to the mines noodle arms!
