How much could u bench when u first started?

[god hand]

I could not do 95 for one rep!

 

[silencer]

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)]

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

 

[GFR]

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

 

[The Monkey Man]

Idk

 

[Steele20]

i couldn't max 100 in 9th grade

 

[CowPimp]

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

 

[Lee Delroy]

I heard alot of really strong lifters bench in that facinity -

 

[Triple Threat]

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

 

[Yanick]

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

 

[BigDyl]

I heard smart lifters lift in that facinity too.

 

[silencer]

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]

The bar when I was 13 nearly killed me! lol

 

[P-funk]

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

Are you related to NEW_IN_THE_GAME????

 

[Myztek]

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]

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]

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]

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