On a more serious note, I have heard that the "average" grown man can bench around 135lbs. -------------- The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get after a tough set of squats after you step back from the power rack and throw up all over the floor.

I hope to change this trend with this American and his friends and family, thanks for the posts and great advice.

raiderfanusa Posts: 139 Joined: 2002/06/06	2007/02/22, 03:24 PM Hello, Good is a matter of perspective. If it is more than you could bench last week I would guess its good. I want to know how much you can squat! I cant do squats due to a blown knee but those are the strong guys. Bench is not necessarily a good measure of overall strength.

People can be such full of shit, any way 80-130 i think is the average for a 14 year old if that answers your question.

Tinnuk Posts: 291 Joined: 2005/12/19	2008/02/28, 07:59 PM I think I speak for everyone when I say that posting a lift and asking if it's "good", with the hope of having one's ego stroked, is pretty damned annoying. It's also easy to SAY that you can lift a hummer over your head with one arm when you're annomously posting on a forum; why don't you try backing it up with a video for proof if you're not as full of shit as everybody says you are? My point is that this isn't a place for bragging, it's for getting help and advice to advance your training, so please, leave your ego and/or desire for attention elsewhere.
Kidfreedom Posts: 52 Joined: 2004/05/19	2008/03/06, 04:43 PM On a serious note, aside from one freak who was already benching around 250 at 14, my freshman year JV football team probably ranged from a max of 85-175. On the first day of practice, the JV would test on how many reps of 115 they could get and th Varsity at reps of 135. Probably 90% of the players were able to get at least 1 rep of the 115, with maybe 5 out of the 50 able to get more than 10. The strongest member of the JV was able to lift the 135 maybe 25 times. Varsity players (16-17) maybe had 1 or 2 out of the 50 not able to lift 135, with the "strong" members of the team ranging from 30-45 reps of 135. Max bench presses fell as follows: top 5: 300-375 next 5: 275 - 300 next 10: 235 - 275 next 10: 205 - 225 next 10: 175 - 205 next 5: 155 - 175 next 5: 125 - 155 With that being said, the football team generally consists of the stronger members of the student body, so it wouldn't be a proper indication of "average". I've also heard about the average adult male's bench of 135 max, which sounds about right.
