    Beginner Body Builder

    Hi there. My name is Michael Goodwin, i'm 14 and i have been weight training and body building properly for around 6 months now. I'd just like to post what my personal bests are at the moment, so here we go.
    Note: I know my bench press isn't brilliant but i really want to improve it. Please any tips or advice would be much appreiciated .
    Note: i dont take supplements of any kind, or steroids. i want natural strength
    I have only mainly tried to get my pb in bench and leg press.

    Bench Press: 176 lbs
    Leg Press : 531 lbs (This is the maximum weight my gym has, so i could do higher)

    Please reply,
    thanks Mike

    Those are pretty big numbers for a 14 year old.

    Are you sure you aren't inflating the numbers a little ?

    Who says big guys can't do pull ups ?

    Welcome Michael,

    I guess your silence is due to your blushing that someone
    noticed your inflated numbers.

    gotcha

    Welcome to IM! Although those numbers are pretty insane for a 14 year old.

    thanks agen, Mike
