ReeD Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 So being the lil video game nerd who cant win a fight i decide to to take weight training class at my school. So i had to learn that my max bench was 85 lb.(Laugh now wait till the end of the year) while the rest can do more than 105 lbs. So i felt like bit of shit so i wanted to know what was your staring max for bench when you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skys Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Don't get down on Benching 85 just keep doing what your doing and you'll get there... Trust if you keep going the starting point wont matter (Plus when i started i benched 90) Now i bench 140 after a couple of months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Back in the day during my high-school times, my starting bench was only 135, it got to 275 during my senor year. My tips: Try benching wider that will help build up your chest and make it easier over time & do push ups every night. Set a number before you start. "Say tonight' I'll do 40 and carry on the next night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinthe5 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 When I was a big bad freshman I was gonna start lifting weight with my friend, so I would do the bar. Now that I am a senior and just naturally got stronger while running cross country and wrestling I would bench 90 when I would mess around in the weight room.

Vicious. Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 We all start somewhere. The start point doesnt matter. Just make sure you work hard when you go to the gym and you educate yourself on form. I see too many folks just go through the motions and even worse other doing shit that really makes no sense and they all wonder why they dont progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgemon Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hitting 135 is one of the best feelings. My next big benchmark is 225, cant wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V!rUs Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Like what Fatty Matty said. Don't compare yourself to others. Workout only to make yourself better and motivate others. I struggled alot on bench press until I had to study my own lifts and figure out where my weaknesses are. Once you figure that out, you can continue to make progress Edited April 12, 2017 by V!rUs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artyom Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) I think my max bench when I first started was around 90 to 95. This was like in middle school when I wasn't the strongest, but now in my senior year of highschool I can do a lot more. Being in a strength and conditioning class for the third year in a row my max for bench is like 205 lbs and I only weigh like 145 lbs to 150 lbs. Basically if you really want to put on muscle and get stronger you got to put a little fat on. Like everyone says "You gotta start somewhere" and after time you'll get stronger. Also coming from a wrestler, the worst thing you can do is not eat. Also I forgot to mention always drink lots of water being dehydrated is never good.

Zeused Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 hate it when the kids at my school would act like they can bench 300 then cant even do 150 rip i think the only working out i do is like 15 pushups every hour when playin video games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkAngelAngel Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 When I started out as a freshman I was more lean than I am now but still big enough, I at the time the starting max bench for me was 145. I was a big dude 9th grade year, about 6 foot 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
