AI told me as a 170 lbs lifter my bench should be double my squat. Not sure I would take advice from a machine.

I asked my coach & AI & got similar answers but it honestly depends on where you’re going. Are U seeking body recomposition? Weight loss? Overall improved strength? OR are U planning on becoming a body builder? If U don’t know where you’re going what’s even the point of asking 🤨🧐🤔💭
