The only answer that matters is this one: I, lke everyone else on LR, can bench more than the average LR poster. It is the Lake Wobegone effect.

It's funny how everyone is way above average.

The average runner can't bench their own body weight. I benched 210 a few months ago when I focused on bench. Now I don't focus on bench, but rather do everything in the gym. But I bench 185 somewhat easy at the end of some of my workouts now.
Now at 255.
And 225 for 3 reps.
Not a distance guy, so my stats don't mean anything, but I can do 70+ consecutive pushups.
Max ever 305.. Currently probably 230-240. Have done 225 for 9 before. But, I am considered fat in the running community. 5'7" 158. Former college wrestler.
You should try doing them with a pause at the bottom or to the ground and then take your hands off the floor and don't let your thighs touch..:) That will get your over 100.
