I went over 300 at 33 but I did not start lifting until I was 30. My goal is to get 315 for 10 reps but I seem to be getting further from that goal, not closer. Maybe I should dig through Foremans trash can!

As for benching 300 at 15...I've seen a 15 year old do 315 for reps. I'll never forget it b/c he did not warm up...that fool will have no shoulders soon.

Half of the people here who "bench 300" can't even squat 300.

I'm not sure where you get this stat from? If you're talking about the beach boys who only bench and curl maybe I agree to some extent.

As for this forum, I would venture to say everyone here that bench 300 could easily hit a 300 squat. Hell, I haven't squatted in 6-8 months and will probably never do them again but I know I could throw 315 around like it was child's play.

Sounds just like me Pepper. I didn't start lifting until I was 30 as well.

Rosco Coleman, one of my HS's more talented athletes. When he was in 10th grade (prolly put him right at 15) I watched him get 315 3 times. Here's the kicker, he was 5'9" 185 lbs. It's definitely possible. He also won the slam dunk contest. :laugh:
 
:D i don't like to hear this stories cause it makes me lose hope :P and i feel i'm so weak.......:) i don't know how those aliens lift these weights in this age :) i guess if i started lifting at 7 yrs old i won't lift 315 max at 15 i can't max it now even :D
 
Genetics. Just because someone benches 500 LB's, doesnt mean they can fight. :laugh:
 
what if they can press 500lbs an can fight? :eek:

Very rare combination. I'd put them up against someone who probably couldn't do half the weight, and watch the fun. :thumb:
 
I have done 285lbs 3 times...I have not tried a max attempt in a grip...I have never(since stopping powerlifting)cared much about max lifts...I am more interested in the looking good in a tight shirt...or a wife beater.

I had a friend who benched 295 raw and natural at 17, he was 142lbs and also could squat and dead lift around 500lbs.

ummm :nanner: :spaz: :suicide: :barf: :(
 
I remember as a freshman in HS walking by the weight room and a crowd had formed to watch one of the seniors bench 500. The bar was bending so much and he struugled and finally got it. Then at the beggining of my junior year he came to visit us and did 630 then proceeded to sell us all weight belts with our names stitched onto them. :lol:
 
I didn't start weightraining till 25 so this poll is nill

I think I hit 300 @ 27 - :shrug:
 
I think 300lbs raw is possible as a young teen. I started powerlifting at approx 13 and by the time I was 15 I had a 230lbs bench, 510lbs deadlift, and a 485lbs squat.....I don't consider myself to be "genetically gifted"....so I am sure those that are can lift even more as young teens.
 
On my 18th birthday I put up 305lbs on the bench weighing 160lbs at 5'5'' but I had been training for nearly three years before that.

300 at 20
 
I was 17 technically in HS, going on 18 soon though. I put up 298 1/4 pounds in my basement...only for lack of being able to fit anymore weight on my bar at the time...My equipment wasnt...fully equipped I guess you can say. I consider it a 300 press though. I weighed 171 at the time, and trained for the wrestling team. Bench was the main focus of my lifting back then though, was not well rounded. the sad part is today at 21 I can not press a whole lot more than I did then...Im now around 325.
 
I'll probably never bench big numbers... I dont like the bench, and I have never had a good numbers on it.
 
Well, Ive heard an assortment of theories...

The most I have ever done is 315 for about 5 reps....

Although I can do weighted dips for reps with 130 lbs, and I can row 315 more times than I can bench it... so, who knows!
 
I am 18, currently lifting in the range of 245-255, I hope to get to 300 by age 19.
Its insane kids, these days. I know one who put up 345 as a 15 yr old a couple of years ago, but he still only does about that much now, which is sad I guess.

You call that a bad bench? Jesus...
 
Well... that is the BEST I have ever benched man. Me and my brother BOTH are sucky as hell with the BP.. I dont think he goes over 245 very often, its odd.

Besides, for my frame, and compared to my other lifts, it IS kinda pathetic, no doubt.

Hows goes it?

Well, to each his own. I would be damned happy with that, hehe.

Things are well. Just finished my last exam for the semester yesterday, and I did well on both of them. Where have you and your brother been these days?
