You're 6'3"... to expect you to bench your body weight with your longer
arms, while some 5'7 cocky *** can easily move his bodyweight with a
much shorter range of motion is not a good way to measure fitness.

The world record holders in the bench press are not pictures of health
either--look at this bench press record setting attempt. The guy is
wearing a tight denim shirt. It looks like he's moving the barbell for
about 12 inches at best.

Sorry for the rant, but I think the "you need to bench press your
bodyweight or you suck" mentality is complete bull***.

If you can bench close to your bodyweight that's pretty good for a tall
girl. Keep in mind that women don't have the same upper body strength as
men.
