181 lb total weight

115 lb arms extended in push up position

130 lb chest to the floor (but still on hands) in push up position

i heard it was about 1/2 to 2/3 your weight depending on your build

so a person who weighs 200 pounds should be able to bench 100 to 133 pounds if they can do push ups?

I guess, pretty sure its an imperfect estimate that expects the person to be fit and doing proper pushups
I weigh 180 and I can do pushups. If I couldnt bench 150 I think I would cry.

Well also depends if you put your feet up on something

If you are min/maxing weight on simple push-ups, then you might be trying to hard.

Focus on increasing reps, and sets if you want to measure "Muh Gainz."

I do a variation of a diamond pushup on closed fists that are placed together so the bottom of my ribcage touches my wrists in the lowered position.
I spread my legs to make a stable triangle.
I've never checked, but I doubt my toes are supporting more than twenty pounds.
