Thread: Can I do it?

I know this might not be the right time to ask a question about max lifts due to some recent stupidity, but I'm going to anyways. My stats were already posted in one of the other threads but for conveince
age:15
height 5'8";
weight: 145
bench:145
squat:about 230

After football season gets over I have apporximately 35 weeks until the next football season starts. I've already sets a goal to add 30 pounds to my frame again. This can be done but it will be a bitch, so I:'ve got a few other goals I'd like to acheive now: a 200 pound bench and a 300 pound squat. I think the 300 pound squat is certainly acheivable but I'm not sure about the bench. What do you guys think? A 200 pound bench by next summer would feel pretty damn good to me. And BTW I'm not just doing this to increase my max lift its mainly because I want to get stronger for football as well as bigger, I'm just using the max to gauge things.

I don't understand the question RC, are you literally asking us if you can do it or are you asking for advice. It is hard to guage whether you will reach a certain lift by a certain point seeing as how everybody responds and progresses differently to training. However I think all we can say is that the only limitations we have are the ones we set for ourselves, just keeping squatting and benching heavy and working the supplemental muscles for each lift and you will succeed.
Are you specifically trying to see the max weight go up, or do you want to see the weight in general go up. I ask b/c there will be a difference in training technique depending on which it is.
