The current investigation reports on percentile normative values of college-aged men and women (18-25 years) for the YMCA bench press endurance test (YMCA-BPT). Previously reported normative values did not include the sample size or population specific information. Participants in this investigation were healthy, men and women who completed a standardized warm-up and then underwent the procedures for the YMCA-BPT. Demographic data are reported along with YMCA-BPT scores including averages of 34.18±12.51 for men, 25.26±10.20 for women and 29.69±12.26 for the combined group (repetitions±standard, respectively). Percentile scores by gender are also reported.
