I would assume that if you're posting on a bodybuilding fitness forum you'd be above the average. Not in all cases, but most. I'd guess that the average person could workout (on the bench press flat) with 145-170 pounds (I know some people I've advised who were much lower, in the 100-140 range), and maybe 200-250 squats. There are exceptions (I knew a guy who started on deadlifts without straps repping over 300, with virtually no fitness training), but they are just that. Exceptions.

i am a 17-m/ 6'5 225 pounds, i bench 225 for 10- 4 sets, squat 350 for 10-3 sets/ deadlift 400 12-10-8-8. are these good????????
For being so light, and so tall, those are great numbers. I wonder why I never see people like this at my gym, we have some guys that can rep with 275 for a few but they are few and far between. The strong guys in my gym (not including the handfull of us beyond that) can pull a 295 max bench and thats about it.
Just about anyone in my gym that can rep with 245 thinks they are hot shit.

Humm I guess we have some people here that missed the chance to brake the national or even world record for that age and weight in powerlifting.

No I'm not Deadly13 (check the registration date on my profile)& have no reason to lie about any poundage I've ever lifted. the #'s I posted are real --I can't help you're weak.If we could go back to when I was 17-18 I would gladly submit to any drug testing protocol.
Do your #'s go up EVERY year---ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! No ones has or ever will. What doesn't make sense is you thinking that #'s go up with age . If that were the case anyone training for 21 yrs as I have would be benching well over a 1000lbs.& squatting over a ton. Act like you have some sense & applaude other peoples efforts rather than tear them down to make yourself feel better.

If your #s are the same you when you where 17 there is something wrong with you if you???re in your 20s, keep telling yourself a 16 or 17 year old has the same potential to put up same number as someone in their 20s lol. During my high school years I have been involved in Track and Field, Football, Baseball, Martial arts and have been around more high school athletes than I can count. I personally know the best high school shot put and discus throwers in FL because I???m one of them and I can actually prove it ranked in as the top 8 high school throwers in FL. These guys are hardcore weight lifters and no 150lbs 17 year old kid that I can basically curl for reps is DL 560lbs or benching 405lbs. Do you realize that those are WNPF WORLD Powerlifting Records breaking lift for someone of that age and weight by basically 100lbs on both?
I???m not going to even bother anymore in here, this stuff is simply getting old. Believe and say what you want, just don???t expect everyone to buy it.

I'm not in my 20's I'm 35. I'm not defending Deadly13, but I'm not trying to tear him down either.
Good for you for being so good !!THEN!! Do you perform at the exact same level you did !!THEN!! You may be a little stronger ,but nothing you do has gotten "a little better" EVERY YEAR since you started.
You're right though---this does get old after a while.No one ever wants to believe something they haven't seen. I guess you're one of those "IF I CAN'T DO IT, YOU CAN'T DO IT" people. Pity you have to be that way.

You shouldn't just focus on your biceps. You should be aiming to develop everything & eat enough food/protein a day. Your about 150lbs, you should be getting about 165grams of protein a day plus enough complex carbs like
%100 natural oatmeal, brown whole wheat pasta, & steamed brown or wild rice, plus enough green vegetables, citrus fruits & banannas, enough water, & flaxseed oil & salmon oil containing omega-3 (EFA). You can buy tablets & take them each twice a day. You need these 2 essential fatty acids.
But yes that is descent for biceps for your age & weight.
You say your only 16yrs old & you already have a bad back? How is that possible? Well whatevers causing it you should be checked by a doctor.
Good luck dude.

Sorry I didn't realize I was dealing with a child(18yrs. old)
Of course you still have room for improvements in anything you do. Wait until you get to be my age & you'll understand that gains don't come as fast as they do at this stage in your life.There are some people on this board that could tell you the same thing. At your age I'm sure quite a few people you meet are stronger than you.

If I bench 315, squat 405 and deadlift 675 pounds (all for reps) is that good?
I'm all natural too.
Well no wonder. You've been doing that TP-PT thing.
rks1969 said:Sorry I didn't realize I was dealing with a child(18yrs. old)
this child can put you to shame 
I believe if you work to improve yourself you will improve yourself, gains may come slower but they do come. As I said before, if you are in the same physical condition as you where back then and you have kept lifting consistently then something is wrong with you or just don???t work hard enough. Yes I compare my lifts to people around my age and weight and there are many stronger than me in some of the lifts, but there are many, many more weaker than me. But I can say my high school there was NO ONE stronger than me. There where people that could bench and hang clean more than me, but they stunk just about every other lift and I was fairly balanced in all the lift so it added up. I don???t really compare myself to people in their 20s or 30s, but I know there are also a many of them weaker than me and the other way around. bye bye 
As for you Mic doing 60lbs Db curls thats impressive for your age and weight. I???m 265lbs and I rarely go up to that weight for curl. But you mentioned your form is not all too good, I would suggest you come down in weight a bit and do it right. I like doing Db curl seating down on the bench, makes me concentrate much more on the movement and harder for me to cheat them; you may want to try that. As for bench don???t worry about the weight, you just begun weight lifting right? If so you???re alright. Keep at it, it will go up fast.
While watching what other people is good motivation, why don't people keep a training log and measure their growth against themselves. We are all different and lift different and eat different. So me comparing myself to the next man, even though we are the same age, size, color, etc., is like comparing apples to oranges. To some extent, how much weight you can lift means nothing. What matters is if you are growing and building your body.

Exactley. Strength is relative to the person. Some of us have a biomechanical advantage in certain lifts than others. Some of us have a greater percentage of type II fibers to Type I fibers. What is important is your individual strength increases (if this is what your goals are).
For me looking at other people lifts gives more motivation. I remember just about all of my buddies that took lifting seriously talking chiat to each other that they where going to beat so and so in bench or squat and so on during the summer weightlifting for football. All in good fun man, gives you something to shot above. Not every time worked cuz whomever we challenged also took it serious and worked hard not to let anyone catch up with them. But at the end everyone was happy with their improvement.
