What would my bench press max be roughly?

A few months ago I had ~60-70 lbs dip for 5x5 and tested bench press, got 195 1x5. Never bench otherwise. Can do +105 dip for near 5x5 now, what might my bench be? Ballpark since I can't test it rn, but curious. I know it's not too determinable

The dips most likely have a pissening ROM too. If you were doing 105 dips with full ROM, you would be jacked AF and benching a fukton but you're not so what does that tell you?
lol @ you. My dips are minimum paralell, often below, always slow and controlled descent

Dips don't correlate to bench press. Your max is 195 until you bench press otherwise. Why can you dip and not bench right now?

Not a strong correlation but getting stronger in one is going to carry over a lot, at least from dips to bench (maybe not reverse)

Can't bench because it'd detract from dip goals atm

Just go bench once and see what your max is. How does that detract from dip goals, whatever that means.
