It took 16 months of weight training and almost precisely a year of training the bench press (I used machines for the first 4 months or so). For reference I started lifting age 41 at a bodyweight of 80kg and my starting weight in the bench press was about 60kg for 5 reps or so, a little above average in my experience.
100kg is actually 225 :) Personally, anywhere from 8 reps to 20 are really impressive stats in my opinion. The most I can currently do is 5 reps for about three sets. It's decent, but it's rare to find a lifter pressing two plates for eight reps or more.
Bench Press: - For men, a guideline of 0.6-0.85x your bodyweight is recommended. For an 80kg man this comes out as between 45-70kg.
Lifting 100 kg in deadlift is considered good, but it also depends on the individual's weight, age, and training experience.
For a beginner it would be an extremely unusual achievement, unreachable by most (the average deadlift max for a novice male is around 80kg). For most beginners then, it would be “too much”. For an intermediate lifter it might be a good work set.

Your bench press can get weaker if you are deconditioned, using improper form, fatigued from over-training, or due to a poor-quality diet. Also, if you don't give your body ample recovery time, or you train the back or shoulder muscle before bench pressing, you may experience weaker presses.
So in the case of men, a bench press that equals their body weight would be considered good. However, if a man is capable of bench pressing around 1¼ times or 1½ times his body weight, he would fall in the category of an intermediate or advanced lifter respectively.

There are suggested recommendations for manual handling lifting limits which set out guidelines for safe maximum lifting weights for employees. The legal manual handling guidelines suggest that the maximum safe lifting weight for a woman is 16kg, and the maximum safe lifting weight for men is 25kg.
As this shows, a 25 kg load being manually handled is considered to be a safe upper limit for the average man and 16 kg for the average woman. It's important to note, however, that this is only if the person carrying the load can keep it at knuckle height and close to their body.
