How much could u bench when u first started?

**god hand** · 12-12-2005, 04:47 AM

I could not do 95 for one rep!

**silencer** · 12-12-2005, 04:54 AM

I think it will vary dramatically with the age people started...

I did my first Bench Press when I was 15 (possibly just 16, not sure) I did a 70Kg Press for 2 reps (154lbs)

**Michael (Dj)** · 12-12-2005, 05:33 AM

im naturally big anyway ... i think i started when i wer 16 and i did 75Kg for 5 reps

**TJ Cline** · 12-12-2005, 05:48 AM

100 lbs for 3 reps, I was in 6th grade

**The Monkey Man** · 12-12-2005, 05:55 AM

**Steele20** · 12-12-2005, 06:47 AM

**CowPimp** · 12-12-2005, 07:00 AM

I did 135 several times. I can't remember an exact number though... Maybe like 5-7 times or something.

**Lee Delroy** · 12-12-2005, 07:56 AM

**Triple Threat** · 12-12-2005, 09:35 AM

70 lbs for 10 reps on a Smith machine, 24 yr old.

**Yanick** · 12-12-2005, 09:39 AM

i don't know, but i know it was definitely over 135, as two months into lifting i hit 185 and was happy as hell

I heard smart lifters lift in that facinity too.

**silencer** · 12-12-2005, 10:03 AM

Yep, I was 16 when I first lifted, Did 300lbs a few times...No sweat. I must be a SMART, STRONG lifter...And im not Full of shit either.

**BritChick** · 12-12-2005, 11:01 AM

The bar when I was 13 nearly killed me! lol

Are you related to NEW_IN_THE_GAME????

**Myztek** · 12-12-2005, 12:21 PM

First time I benched was in 10th grade, Age 15. I could only do 100 lbs for one rep when I started. I managed to get up to a 160 max in 3 months. I guess that's a pretty decent advancement.

Obviously the sarcasim flew right over your head which doesn't surprise me...

People were pointing out that "strong" and "smart" lifters lift in around that weight range.

I was detesting the Fact that Lee Delroy, who pretty much posts Crap 100% of the time Didn't lift 300lbs with his first bench press attempt.

**myCATpowerlifts** · 12-12-2005, 12:55 PM

When I was in 8th grade, I did 95 x 3 for my first time.

how lame and stupid does a person have to be to post bullshit spam on an internet forum for entertainment....I would consider german shepards or apes to be a higher form of life...

On a related note. Less than 3 years ago I was doing sets of 8 with 95lbs. Today my last set was 230 for 4+1

Should be higher but I went on a pretty long break from the gym at some point in those 3 years.

**Squaggleboggin** · 12-12-2005, 01:28 PM

I was doing three sets of eight with 135 as a workout in the eighth grade. Before that I don't really remember.

**muscle_01** · 12-12-2005, 02:07 PM

when i was 13 i could only do 70lbs 1rep....by the way i maxed today and i got 190lbs lol
