A 225lb bench is often considered a kind of minimum goal to work towards, usually achievable in ~2-3 years, I believe (depending on a lot of factors obviously). So that's somewhat in line with my expectation that you need a few years under your belt before you are really competitive.

(FWIW, I've ben lifting somewhat seriously for a year and a half, far less seriously for a few years before that, and I bench ~155lbs 1RM, at least according to a 1RM calculator.)
