How much can you Bench press?

[cubin']

Just keep in mind doing lots of heavy weights isn't healthy if you're under 18 dudes.

I've never done a bench press. I play a fair bit of sport though.

40 kg or so 3 times. I'm like Sena from Eyeshield 21... mile is 5:48 tho, so at least I'm above average at something.

Smashes me at a mile :X Fastest time was like 6.15 or something two years ago when our school made in compulsory :X

I read somewhere that lifting weights is actually beneficial to your health, even those under 18. As long as you do it properly(Stretch, warm up etc).

A little bit is okay. Too much while your still growing is bad for joints and bones.

Imperial units confuse the hell out of me.

Lol same.

Think we did some bench pressing in p.e like once or twice but it wasn't like hard out or anything. I'm pathetically weak, i'm of light build about 60 kg. More of a long distance runner but not that hard out. Gonna do a friendly half-marathon next year.

80 for leg press is horrible :X If you can do 50 with arms you should be able to do 200+ with legs if you've been training evenly

I don't work in lbs unfortunately

 

[War]

Im 16 (feamle) ad I can bench 3 sets of 15 at 30lbs. >: 3

 

[HelloKitty]

Thats probably more than what I can do by alot

 

[DarkAura]

I can do 150 15x. I suck.

Especially compared to some kids at my school, like 200lbs or something. And they're 15 frikkin years old.

Dude... 150 at your age is outstanding. Wait till you're 18 or something, after that muscle grow will be much easier. However, don't stop working out.

I don't recall with a bar. But with 65lb dumbells, incline bench. 3 sets of 6. No spotter. Better workout than with a bar because you use stabilizing muscles and can twist wrists near the end of your range of motion.

Yeah.. I forgot to mention that after I do 15 reps, I just lay down and die. I do want to keep working out my arms and stuff, but my parents are telling me that it stunts my growth. So I just swim and do some weightless dryland exercises.

Exactly what you should do for now. I started when I was 15 and my height stopped at 5'11.

My boyfriend curls like 3 sets of 15, 25lbs. He says he has a hard time building muscle though. :\ Anyone know why? He goes to the gym about 3 times a week, and doesn't have dumbbells at home. He's 16, and weighs about... 145, I think.

He should do more weight, less reps to build. Try 35-40 lbs, 6 reps per set. But it all depends on genetics. Some people just can't build. Some can't build at 16 but can two years later (most likely the case). Just gotta stay with it.

No offense, but is your boyfriend Asian? Asian boyfriends can't build too much, I had experience, no wait...
