    He's probably going to get owned. It's tough to be tall. I have a friend who's 5'7 and 200-209, and his lifts are more than double your brother's. Don't let him get discouraged though, because as much as it's nice to compete, lifting is mostly an individual sport. Bringing up his lifts is going to make a world of difference in his football, and competing in events is a good way to stay motivated to keep the numbers going up.

    Agreed - he's still young - don't let him compare himself versus other's who have been at it longer - strength takes time to build - just keep at it - will only help his balling too

    those are decent numbers for 16.I trained boys that age for some time and thats not bad.I had a few that were way stronger but thats the way it goes.just makes you work harder.

    i competed at that age in high school and i was 184 and my numbers were alot higher... and i'd get owned at times... if he is serious tho the meet will help him learn. sometimes the drive to win is the best way to coach somebody. but you only get that by losing or trying to stay on top
