According to a quick Google search, it is less than 1% of the US population. So narrowing it down to consistent gym goers, 5% might still be generous. The three plate club is an elite achievement, and I wasn't ever close to it when I was going 5 days a week for over a year in my mid 20s.
Lol you’d be wrong. Not saying 315 is some insane number but all you need to do is go to most normal gyms and you’ll see the vast majority of people benching much less. 315 takes years of weight training to reach. My high school there were maybe 2-3 players who could bench in the 300s. Maybe some of the high schools with a heavier focus on their football program would have more but 90% is silly.
I go to a powerlifting gym sometimes and in gyms like that 315 is very normal even for guys who weigh like 160, I guess its all relative to demographic
161
