[Jake250ex]

Im a teenager and I lie about how much I can bench to impress others on the internet. If your going to lie at least make it reasonable. You not 14-16 and benching 200lbs unless you work your *** off in the weightroom everday.

That is not true at all....I know a few people in our school who are 14-16 that can get 200....so dont call BS if you dont know what you are talking about....

[pastfast125]

15, bench 160 max. I just started goin to the gym so I'm hoping to get to over 200. Benching doesn't help ya a whole lot in a fight though:blah:

ok lets be serious here. Theres not many 14 or 15 year olds that can bench 200. If they can they have good genes and are naturally big or are on roids. I can see 16 and up being able to bench that.

[KansasKidd]

i'm 18 i bench 250 and clean 235...yay fur me

yeah man me and my friend can both do it, I can do it a tad bit easyier but I ride all the time and lift with my dad now and then.

Theres some kids in my grade that are freaking built and they are only 15-16

yeah and I know a 13 fixing to be 14 year old that can bench 245 the last time I talked to him last year at the beggining of school

he goes to the gym all the time and is trained by a man that can do 600+

anyways this dude set the record for our middle school when he was in 7th grade at 245 but he is in 8th grade now and I think he is getting 275 he is real strong and I am not talkin BS one bit thats all he does is weightlift

and my friend that is 15 can bench 210

helps your back,i never used them,i was taught to lift w/o because it will leave your back weak...im sure alot will disagree,but its all about who your weight trainer was i guess?anyways lift w/o it!

how does a small leather strap help your back:confused:

[pastfast125]

When they wrap it on it helps support your back I think. Helps keep you from hurting your back.

[400exrules]

whats a relatively cheap way u can measure body fat % without using those POS caliper things?

[wantablaster]

im 14 and am 5,4'' 115lbs. I can bench sets of 120 - 125 and max 135-140 sometimes more if i dont do all of my sets and everything else before I try it.

[RacinMason_690]

one of my friends is 18 and he can bench 300 and leg press like 1500, i know it sounds like bullchit but its true. haha. he is a monster:)

and that goes for you too Jake250ex.

just becuase you guys are weak and have never realy accomplished anything in your life, dont go saying others cant either.

[pastfast125]

whachu lookin at willis?!

[QuadSquad#13]

15 - couple pounds

[edak]

16 bench 245lbs

[FHKracingZ]

im 16 , 5'5 and i dont try to max out, i work out , but i just usally do 125

[quadmaster88]

leg press isnt really that hard to do... i mean most people can do between 700-1200 lbs.......... squatting is whats hard... and cleans...

Originally posted by NacsRacer027

yeah i agree with u but also with quadmaster...

cleans are rele hard to do when u first try but after u learn the technique its rele easy...same goes with squating. squating ur first couple of times is gonna hurt ur back and soulders but from experience, i know its fine after u go a couple times

but yeah leg press is rele hard to do if u dont know the technique, i see a lot of kids in the weight room that just go half way down and say they can do 500...yeah...no ****, ur doing it wrong

[Jake250ex]

and that goes for you too Jake250ex.

ok, I never attacked you personally but since you did to me (for no reason) here is my comeback. I dont care how strong you are, I will probably never meet you and I am glad about that. I was pointing out that most of these kids say they are 14-15 and bench 200, and they dont. I can guarantee it unless they live in the weightroom. Most kids who dont lift cant even get 135. If you can do the amount that you said, good for you, but still nobody cares. I am in advanced physical conditioning with one of the most dominant sports schools in my state and we have about 80 people in our class, mostly juniors and seniors. Well, our max bench #'s arent that much higher than what some 120lb 14 year old kids posted. Its funny how every post comes up you start some sort of grudge match trying to prove that you are the ULTIMATE and cant be beat. I am not the only one who thinks that either... so I must be right or something.


About me being weak and not accomplishing anything, again a typical comment I would expect from you. I am not going to get into how much I lift or my max on anything, because I'm sure yours will be far superior with your god like talent and stregth.

Yeah guys, when I was a freshman in high school I drank my bodyweight in everclear at the wildest college party ever, then I went and benched 240lbs, with my left hand while I was getting some from the hottest girl youve ever seen.

[300extreme#8]

17 , 225 twice once, it was a good day, (u kno how that goes) i tried it again days after and couldn't get it once

[honda250xrider]

my self 5'9 155lbs reping with 170 and max is 240. Friend of mine is nothing but 5'7 reping with 260 and maxing out over 350lbs, he is a state wrestler and is the 160lbs weight class, now i think that is impressive.

i agree completly.

and for the people that are sayin that they can do 700+ do u guys do it on the machine where the weight is over your head or do u just push it out infront of u.

[zforcefx]

18 and bench 320

[DaleJrFan]

When I was 18, I weighed 190 and maxed 275, worked out doing 3 sets of 10 at 185. Now I am 29 and only lift 12 oz at a time, usually a set of 18 or 24 on Saturday.

I think we might need to start a lifting team.:devil:

[400exrules]

how many sets/reps do you guys recommend for one workout of the chest using benchpress? Ive been doing 3 sets of 8-9 reps. Whats the best for quickly building muscle and strength? should u swap it up and do incline and decline some days too?

[derekhonda]

Its best to change it up, some day go like 10-8-6, in two days go 5-5-5-5-5, in two days go 5-4-3-2-1 (usually when you are trying to max)

Just get on a program and stick with it, maybe look into after school weights that way someone can help you out.

[400exrules]

but will my bench increase best from just doing regular flat bench press every other day or should i do incline and decline? Im asking because ive got a crappy bench set in my room, and im looking to buy a better one soon so i can start working out more.

What should i do for shoulders?

[derekhonda]

When I workout upper body, it takes me 2 hours. I do butterflies, inclined butterflies, bench, incline bench, overhead bench, close grip bench, and then end with burnouts. Then i usually grab some free weights and do bis & tris and then I jump on some machines for them.

The more reps you do, the better the effect is gonna be.

Originally posted by Nick110

nope...

the one in school is more like the first one except the weight hangs underneath...

[Jake250ex]

the one where you put the weights on top is MUCH harder. We have both kinds. it makes about a 100 + lb difference in your max.

[pastfast125]

how bout the leg press thing where you are standing up at an angle on the machine, and theres shoulder pads, and weights attached to that, so all the weight is basically on your shoulder, and then you push it down and up with your legs? I havent tried the normal one where your laying on your back.

[chunky]

15 and 190 on bench 225 on squat...hopin to be up to 225 on bench by summer camp and around 265 on squat

thats more of a Squat trainer but it still helps with legs.






and i only do the leg press with the weights above u like the first picture. yea it is much harder. i do 3 sets of 10 reps on 275.

[pastfast125]

well I tried the normal leg press today where your lying on your back, man do I suck.. hahaha, I did 90 like 15 times, then went to 180 and only got it like 10 times, and I didn't trust myself to try anymore, I prob could have gotten more weights if I didn't doo all the other stuff first, next time if I have my friend with me to help me get it back up when I get stuck, I'll try more weight. Do you guys have any good tips for bigger shoulders, and a fast way to get bigger biceps? srry if that was already posted.

[yamablaster24]

well im gonna be the first person to be honest in this forum and not add 30 or 50 pounds. Im 156 lbs, 6'3" and i can bench 120!:D

do some shoulder shrugs. If u dont know what they are take like 20 lbs more than u can curl in each hand and shrug ur shoulders up. Hold it for a sec. or 2 then let it down and repeat. To get bigger biceps try taking 100 percent whey protein.

[pastfast125]

OK cool, j/w, have you guys ever heard of a supplement called NO-explode? I read on a dirtbike forum, somebody there uses this, and he said it gives you crazy amounts of energy like 5 mins after taking it, he said his bench press increased by 20 lbs because it gives you so much energy and ocncentration. Supposedly it opens up your veins a lot too, and allows your muscles to hold more creaotine, I'll post the site for it in a sec

[pastfast125]

http://reviews.bodybuildingforyou.com/BSN/NO-Xplode.htm

[DaleJrFan]

after reading the reviews on that stuff, it sounds like that it can kill most kids if not used properly. stay away from anything except from steak,vegs,fruits, and gatorade while working out. if you cant get strong on that combo plus old fashioned weight lifting, than you need to go see a shrink to find someway to satisfy your ego.

[dshfearh]

i've never really max on bench but i figure it would be up around 200-210. i rep 160 for 4 sets of 5-8. never squat but i do the leg press where the weight is above your head. i 've never maxed on that either but i do 4 sets of 10-12 with 360. i figure i could do like 540 for a couple reps.

[ZBlaster]

16, 275

[Cody_300ex]

Im 14 weigh 150, bench 165 and squat 215 is the most I've ever done, don't want to mess my knees up again.

[jon67]

um im 9 years old and i can bench 300 pounds and i weigh 100 lbs. this post is rediculous, 13,14,and 15 yrs olds benching over 200 is very unlikely so stop trying to be sweet

[pastfast125]

dude it's not that unlikely, I'm 15 and I can only max 150, but I think that's a low number, I can easily see benching 200 with a little work. I know plenty of 15 yr olds that can bench 200 or more. 200 really isn't that high.

[pastfast125]

and it's not like all 15 yr olds are scrawny lanky kids, some kids are big through genes or whatever.

[wolffie]

yeah that description fits me. lol, i am 16, 6ft tall, and 215lbs. i can bench 180-220 depending on reps. ya know, benching #'s dont mean anything if you dont take in consideration height and weight. both parents are pretty tall. were not fat were just big, ya know what i mean? i can run a mile in 6min50sec during lacrosse season. i do find it funny that some of y'all say you can put up 200+lbs and only weight like 150, but hey i know some dudes that wrestle and such, and they can seriousely do that. i say as long as you arent out of shape, and you apply your lifting to work work (like actual construction, or moving things) that your good to go!

There are 7 14/15 year olds benching 200+ on my football team(all football players are required to take football weight lifting at my school). I started out at 115 last august, and im up to 165 now, we work out HARD 5 days a week for an hour. Most of the guys on the team are taking protein, and creatine.

[killen them all]

age 17 160lbs right now 170 but i broke my arm in football and had to have a cast on for 15 weeks cuz i kept on breaking ituseing it as a club but be 4 i broke it i could do 185 2 times next year for foot ball i want to be at 180 weight and 215 bench or more

[ShiftFMX]

I'm 17 and I hit 210, I weigh about 215lbs and im 5' 11"

Ok 14-15 year olds benching 200+ is super unlikely unless all of them have the same dad and his name is Arnold Schwartsenager. spelling that name was a total guess. or these kids weigh like 300lbs or are on roids.

Yeah guys, when I was a freshman in high school I drank my bodyweight in everclear at the wildest college party ever, then I went and benched 240lbs, with my left hand while I was getting some from the hottest girl youve ever seen. i love it...congratulations, you dont care what i can bench, i dont care what anyone else can bench....hell, i havent touched weights since then...probably couldnt even do 200 anymore...point is though, this thread is about what you can do at what age...thats what i did at that age.

Yes, that was a typical comment from me....becuase im a jack ***, hey buddy..its the forums, get used to it.

I also never once claimed to drinky body weight in ever clear, go to the wildest college party, bench 240 with just my left...and get with the hottest girl you've ever seen. They all happened, i jsut never claimed it..so im wondering who spilled the beans?

oh well...atleast the rumors are true.

and yes, i am the ultimate. get used to coming in 2nd, *****.

Me too, except I do claim to drink my bodyweight in Everclear, RULE the wildest college party, I can bench 240 with my friend Pedro, and I had a threesome with the 2 hottest girls on playboy TV. Deal with it, you can call me Jesus, because I AM GOD.

Only one guy is on roids, he's a junior. It dosen't really matter if ya'll bealive me or not, don't really have a reason to lie about other people I could really care less of what there benchin. Like I said, all but 2 or 3 people are taking protein, 4 or 5 people are taking creatine, and we workout HARD for an hour straight 5 days a week. I have went

[Out_Sider]

16 - 210 workout (8,6,4,2) - 200 max (once)

[PolarisRider06]

i maxed out on bench at 205 once i think... for sure i've done 195... i did that when i was 16... my max on regular squats going ALL THE WAY DOWN till my thighs are PARALLEL (propper form for a squat) was about 365 if i'm remembering right and my max with box squat is 515 once that was a week after i did 505 4 times. the day that i did 515 i did a lot of reps, heres what i did that day 315x10 405x10 450x10 470x10 485x5 495x5 500x3 505x1 510x1 515x1... yeah that was a lot of reps that day and the bar has a permanent bend in it from it too... lol... i've never tried to max out on leg press but i'm guessing it would be around 700 if i got back in shape again


who here has ever seen a cop lift weights?? its nuts!! one of my friends dads is a trooper and he's probably almost 50 and when my friend was going to break his own personal record on bench of 250 and go for 255 his dad jumped on there and said he was going to warm it up for him... he did it 10 times:eek: and didn't slow down any at all... it was fricken insane....

I prefer to do both the upper and lower on the same day and do it every other day, leaving the off day for cardio work. Then taking my sundays off for recouperation.

I'm 30 175 lbs, and my bench 1 rep max is 240. Used to be a lot higher when I was younger. Never been an upper body guy, but still not too bad considering I had a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder, and a complete seperation in my left shoulder.. lol. I'm going to be a very sore old man.. lol.

[GP400]

32, 5-11 around 195lb. My max is around 375 i'm planning on breaking 400 soon.

[Mxjunkie]

what do you guys do to get your bulk up, I'm getting back into lifting fulltime after getting into a pretty bad fight with a family member I'm kinda sick of gettin picked on I guess, I want to get bigger then I am now I'm buff but i dont have much bulk to me.

[Ridin' Jesse]

16.
150 lbs.
150 max. Just started lifting this year bout 3 months ago.

[EvilJester400EX]

Josh, start with a high protein diet. In other words, eat everything in sight, don't stop eating and just work out a ton. You'll get big in no time.

[Mxjunkie]

Thanks man! I finally got best friend into lifting too so this should be pretty cool :D

thats what everyone says, but you dont need to go crazy, i say, just eat normally, but healthier. dont drink any carbonated soda's, lay off the sugar, no little debbie cakes....and take a protein supplement once or twice every day. keep the water flowin, and make sure you have somethin to eat no longer then every 3 hours, otherwise your body will begin to feed off muscles or energy. and dont eat within a few hours of your bedtime otherwise whatever you eat is goin straight to fat

atleast im not...im not doin the bulking, then cuttin crap, cuz i dont wanna get fat....im stayin cut with a low BF% and lifting heavy.

oh, and if you want to put on pure bulk muscle, as far as bench goes, as soon as you can do something for 10 reps, you need to add weight, you should only be able to rep something 6-9 times if you want to add muscle.

[04fourhunjex]

16 and im doin 5 reps of 235 or maxin out at 275-280 i weigh about 210

ok, I never attacked you personally but since you did to me (for no reason) here is my comeback. I dont care how strong you are, I will probably never meet you and I am glad about that. I was pointing out that most of these kids say they are 14-15 and bench 200, and they dont. I can guarantee it unless they live in the weightroom. Most kids who dont lift cant even get 135. If you can do the amount that you said, good for you, but still nobody cares. I am in advanced physical conditioning with one of the most dominant sports schools in my state and we have about 80 people in our class, mostly juniors and seniors. Well, our max bench #'s arent that much higher than what some 120lb 14 year old kids posted. Its funny how every post comes up you start some sort of grudge match trying to prove that you are the ULTIMATE and cant be beat. I am not the only one who thinks that either... so I must be right or something.


About me being weak and not accomplishing anything, again a typical comment I would expect from you. I am not going to get into how much I lift or my max on anything, because I'm sure yours will be far superior with your god like talent and stregth.

Yeah guys, when I was a freshman in high school I drank my bodyweight in everclear at the wildest college party ever, then I went and benched 240lbs, with my left hand while I was getting some from the hottest girl youve ever seen.


yes this is funny, most people on here have added alot of weight! i dont think any 14 year old kids will be benching that much, let alone they dont even know how to measure their strength on the bench, you do a max test, not how many reps you can do. The funniest one was that he does like 160 pounds or something like that, then 220 sometimes! :rolleyes: hahaha

A max is the amount of weight you can do ONCE!!


I am 16
I weigh 175lbs
I have a weight training class in school
i stay after 4 days a week
Yesterday i maxed for our exams on squat and did 270
Today i maxed on reg bench and did 185

listen you ****ing dork, just becuase YOU cant do it, doesnt mean other people cant, i played football for 5 years, and played on a highschool hockey team since 7th grade (practicing with them for 2 years until i was a freshman and could play), and i was a goalie, so i had to have strong arms and legs. I worked out every other day for a solid 2 hours for my class, and the days off from that we were doing other activities in the gym that kept us in shape.

I've decided that everyone who says stuff people do is impossible, has nothing more in their mind than jealously at the fact they cant do it, so therefor, they stick in there head that is impossible, forn them to try and make sence out of it, becuase they simply think if they cant do it, no one else can.

have a nice ****ing day.

If he wants to get big, then he'll have to get a little wild with it. I never said a thing about carbonated drinks or sugars. They will do nothing for your body but hurt the process. High protein diets (eggs, red meats, bread, pastas etc etc.) will get you large in no time as long as you do it right. You can't go into the gym and burn off everything that you ate, you'd defeat the purpose of the high protein diet.

I have been lifting for 8yrs now. When I started lifting I was 150lbs and now I am up to about 195. When I was 20 and I use to struggle with 150. I did 335 over the summer right now I am staying with 315 for 2 reps. In the winter I change my work out. I do one week heavy and then the following week I do high reps light weight. I do about 12 to 14 sets for each body part.

i dont need a comeback for this one...

an unemployed 16 year old, trying to tell people what they THINK is possible or impossible in the field of working out...

whats next, applying at McDonalds, then trying to tell people they dont make what their salary realy is just becuase you get minimum wage?

kid, you need to learn when to just stfu.

I had 4 of the 5 middle school weight lifting records when I left. All free weights. I still hold the bench, 285, and powerclean, 250, both as an 8th grader. I benched 300 and powercleaned 260 as a 10th grader, but blew my knee out powercleaning not long after I did the 260.

Gee golly y'all are strong. As a collegiate football player, albeit DIII, I would recommend continuing your superb work in the weight room and work on speed and agility - Y'all are on your way to a full four year free ride!!!

Honestly, I can't even say I believe 25% of what you all say.

Personally, I was one of the weaker players. Age:15 - Weight: ~175 - Bench (one rep max) ~155

Working up after a killer season: Age:18 - Weight:252 - Bench: (We only test preseason - Currently we do Pyramids: 10x60%, 8x70%, 6X80%, 4x90% where my 4 rep set is 255)

There are a plethora of weight lifting strategies and theories. I've unlearned what I learned in high school and relearned everything according to my new strength and conditioning coach. Best bet is to give a 100% commitment and never stop.

For all of you that think your #'s in the weight room are the end of the world - I would welcome you to any collegiate gridiron. Technique and "Farmer's Strength" (having strength where it counts) will make you a far superior player to one that is uniquely strong in the weight room.

Take it or leave it, but quit the BS - who are y'all trying to impress?:huh

[Kilabanshee]

16 6,4 195-200lbs bench. I could probably bench more but my arms are really long so it makes it alot harder. My real strength is in my curling and peck deck.

I have farmer strength too because I grew up on a farm.

If you guys are just starting out on bench, or have hit a wall then I can't advise the Shawn Phillips routine enough. It has worked great for me in the past. It is called 50lbs in 50 days, and that is very possible.

Bench overview (http://www.geocities.com/~slopitch/mm2k/bench2text.htm)

Progression Table 1 (http://www.geocities.com/~slopitch/mm2k/tab1.pdf)

Pregression Table 2 (http://www.geocities.com/~slopitch/mm2k/tab2.pdf)

Workout (http://www.geocities.com/~slopitch/mm2k/wosheet.pdf)

I can't encourage you guys enough to try it. I do it a couple times a year to change up my routine, and I always have results. If you have been lifting for years you are not going to have 50lbs, but it still works.

Age 26
Height 6'2
Weight 260
Bench 415

[BlazingYamahaYz]

I'm 17 and the last time I tried to max was last year before summer...and I maxed at 135 or 140 I don't remember. I finally got my own weights from a buddy but he only gave me about 100lbs worth of weights so that's all I bench for now.
