Well, I would say a respectable weight is whatever amount you can personally do for 4 sets of 10 reps... whatever it is. Everyone is different and there are various things that determine how much one can bench. The question is are you progressing and slightly increasing the weight from week to week? You could also change things up and perhaps try 4 sets, but pyrmading up in weight and down in reps from set to set.
Imo staying dedicated with your workout plan and diet is what makes it respectable. Getting too focused on the numbers might lead to bad form and possibly an injury.
And be careful with this if you are a newbie, as you may not be able to do any at first, but another good measuring tool is seeing how many times you can bench your own body weight. Reps should start to increase as you make progress.
