If you just wanted to be like other average men, you probably wouldn't be reading this website.
In fact, your loathing and/or fear of mediocrity, combined with your ambition to be faster, stronger, and smarter than mere mortals, are all part of what keep you reading men's magazines and websites like this one.
Be that all as it may, however, the possibility still exists that you may be — dare I say it — average. Or — even worse! — less than average.
The only way to truly find out is to put yourself to the test. The following is a list of traits, compiled from a variety of data sources (including the U.S. Census Bureau), that list some known averages for average men:
age: 34 years old, weight: 175lbs and height: 5'9 1/2. Let’s see how you measure up!
The Average Guy Can…
- Do 27 push-ups in one minute
- Run 1.5 miles in 12:51
- Complete 36 sit-ups in one minute
- Bench Press 158 pounds one time
- Throw a football 50 yards
The Average Guy Also…
- Has sex 1.5 times per week (79 times per year) and lasts 14 minutes
- Has an erect penis length between 5.5 and 6.2 inches
- Enjoys a total of 12.4 sex partners in his lifetime
- Earns around $36,100 per year
- Is married with two children and has $3,100 in the bank
- Has a 13-inch flexed bicep
The Average Guy Consumes…
- 3.3 cups of coffee a day
- 1.2 alcoholic drinks a day
- 26 pounds of beef per year
- 16 pounds of cheese per year
- 19 pizza pies per year
Whereabouts on the Average Men scale did you end up falling? My guess is that you're probably above-average on most, if not all, of the above referenced listings, because, on average, men who read fitness websites and magazines are more fit than men who do not.

Great blog by the way. Enjoying the read.
Great numbers Daniel, and kudos for stepping up to the plate to back up your Superman reputation! haha
Anyone else care to share their stats?
If you had to type that, it’s probably a sign of insecurity and an overcompensation for a very below average “friend”
I’m 16 not 34 lol . I weigh 180lbs, 6’0 tall.
I can…
Do 40 push-ups in one minute
Run 1.5 miles in 9:40
Complete 70 sit-ups in one minute
Bench Press 210 pounds one time
Throw a football 50 yards(roughly)
I also…
Has sex 3 times per week and lasts 14 minutes–Sometimes more
Has an erect penis length of 8 inches. i’ma kill you pervs lmao.
Enjoys a total of 12.4 sex partners in his lifetime –um already at 6 haha
Earns around $9600/year
Is not married has 0 children and has $2,000 in the bank
Has a 14-inch flexed bicep.
I consume…
0.0 cups of coffee a day =D
1.2 alcoholic drinks a day– I probably cant average this, I dont drink daily though.
26 pounds of beef per year– a lot more
16 pounds of cheese per year–probably a bit more
19 pizza pies per year– quite a few more
Great numbers Steven, and don’t worry, “slightly” above average is still ABOVE average!
You too Kyle, you’re well on your way to “Superman Status” at only 16, keep up the great work, but stay safe!
im 14, i weigh 100lbs, and im 5 foot 2.5 inches standing.
Bench – 145lbs (one month ago) 5 times
Squat – 234lbs
Pushups – 64 1 min
Sit ups – 52 1 min
Those are very impressive numbers for your age and size Landon! Keep up the great work and stay safe!
I always wonder how big the sample size is from these statistics. At the gym I feel above average but compared to those stats, I too feel like Daniel especially for my age and size.
I am 44 years old
Height 5′ 10″, Weigh 165
Max Bench 240, 135 for reps=28, 165 for reps=18
Pushups 65 in a minute
My Lower body is pathetic, bad knees and bad back.
17 chinups (palms out, chin above the bar, straight at the bottom
44 Dips (past ninety degree)
1.5 miles in less than 10 minutes
3.1 Miles in 21.20 at age 42 (17.27 when I was 25)
Situps=Never do them anymore (does anyone do old school situps anymore? Kills my back and neck)
Throw a football between 40-50 Yards.
I personally think benching your body weight for reps, dips, and chins are a much better indication of fitness. For cardio I think your 5k time is much more relevant then 1.5 miles. Hard to suffer/fake through 3.1 miles of running.
Hey Matt,
Those are excellent numbers for any age and size, so you SHOULD feel like a Superman among the more common Jimmy Olsen’s!

Re Previous comment.
I am a UK citizen, to be more specific Yorkshireman. Being a Yorkshireman I look after my money and never throw anything away which is why my weight plates are in lbs and not Kgs. I didn’t use them from being 19 ’til 59 when I took up veteran athletics. saved a small fortune!
17 years old
60 push-ups in one minute
1.5 miles in 8:12
No clue on the sit-ups
Bench press 225 once
Football Throw: Probably 35-45 yards. I honestly don’t believe the figure that the average man can throw 50 yards. That seems a bit much.
This was cool to see all these stats. I think that if you are trying to have the most sexual partners you’re a dumb’#$$ though. Definately doesn’t make you more of a man. Just makes you @ a higher risk of STD’s and being very lonely when you get older and realize that you’ve wasted your time and nobody really cares about you. Just somethin’ to consider.
You people are such lying faggots.
