How much do you guys think i can bench
and how much do you think i should bench?
Thanks heaps

Only one way to find out, go try it! Start with just the bar. If you can do that pretty easily, then add 5-10 pounds. Trial and error is the only way to figure it out. I feel that if you can benchpress your bodyweight, then you are doing decent. However, if you are new to exercise, then you may be unpleasantly surprised. This is especially true because you sound like a big time ectomorph...

hey thanks for the reply
about the last 2 or 3 sentences man
you think you can put it in simpler terms

I think you can bench 80lbs. You should be benching however much you can

is 80lb's 40kg? , if so how many times
by the way, i already know how much i can do, i just want to see how much people think i can do by telling them my weight size and BF
Thanks for the replies guys

80lbs is actually 36 kg. If it was your max, you could do it only once.

It is impossible to guess how much you bench though. You could bench 50 lbs to 200 lbs. We wouldn't know.

oh k
i know i have improved, cause of my weight height and BF which i mentioned, you only think i can bench 36kg max
i can do that 20 times i have improved yay
thanks

What exactly are you a newbie at? When I was 16 and had never lifted, I wouldn't even come close to benching 80 percent of my bodyweight 20 times.

Maybe you have good genetics for strength. What is your max?

well i have 'lifted' but not at gym just the mini benchpress i have at home that i used to go on for 2 mins per week until i got sick of it
can i like stunt my growth or something?

perhaps i can lift 80% of my body weight easily because i am extremely light?
cause if i were 100kg i highly doubt i could be able to easily bench 80kg hehe

Hey, post a picture of yourself. And it is impossible to have 0% Bodyfat. You'd be dead.
