[Cubanito17]

[TheyoungJason]

[skiboy]

when i was 16 weighing 175 i put up 280
squatting 400 powercleaning 225
peace out

[samoth]

I have two friends that are 16. One is about 155# putting up 175. The other, who has great genetics, is putting up about 315 at just around 200#. Neither train powerlifting, but the bigger guy is going to be starting soon. They are both within one year of beginning formal weight training.
Back when I was 16, I think I could probably bench around 180... I must've weighed only 155# at the time. That's around when I started lifting.

[chevy44]

hmm...my best yrs.......bench was 315 squat was 460 clean was 240

[wrstlr69sdnl]

when I was 16 I weighed 125 and benching 240

[pepsi01]

[Dude-Man]

hmm.. 16 i could do 100 pushups. I was 125. my max bench was like 135.

[bigol'legs]

Sounds like me chris. almost exact same. Except I was 18 at 125 lbs. and benching 135 hehe. But I could still squat 425

[Rsox1]

damn i fel week i was 150 probably maxing out at 150 at 16 nd squatting 225 at that point i never even knew what a deadlift was

[Bound for Muscle]

[Flex_Appeal]

When I was 16 I was only doin 140 at 5'9" 95 lbs. now i'm pushing 405 at 215lbs...I just turned 21 yesterday!

[gymrat21]

[Russ616]

great work... I am 16 yrs old and bench 300 lbs at 146 bw. keep on lifting the weight

That's alot of weight to be pushin for that body weight. Have any pics to prove it ....

[LostUp]

Yeah I'd like to see a pic myself... that 2x BW at 16 is far fetched to me

I don't know about when I was 16 but I kow at 17 my max was about 180.

[Rsox1]

i feel really weak when i was 16 i weighed like 165 and benched 185 and thought that i was hercules, now this morning i weighed in at 225 but when i get up to 240 i bench 315x2 so there are some strong people in this place

[Meathead57]

im almost sixteen i weigh 135 im 5'7 and i bench 275 squat 395

[SaTyR]

When i was 16 i got my first barbie doll....

[RoNNy THe BuLL]

This is crazy. I feel like a wimp. When I was 16, I was like 160lbs and I benched 135lbs for 3. I remember it wasn't until I was like 19 that I was able to bench 185lbs. Even now, I rarely go above 185lbs, not without a solid spot somewhere. Then it's a different story.

[bouya_ak]

when I was 16 I was about 175
bench 285
squat 425
power clean 225

[LostUp]

Come to think of it I can remember when I was about 15 I could only bench 135 for like 5, at 16 I doubt it was much higher if any.

[LuvMuhRoids]

Yah at 16 hummm...not much really. I was saucing trying to keep up with the other Varsity juice heads. I could do 205 in the cage. It was the weight room. Now the football guys were gorilla's. I had to wrestle off for my weight class in wrestling and the guy was on football and wrestling and he was so freakin strong. It was a group of them that were doing over 300lbs in the cage. I hated it. Wasnt fair cuz they were all on the sauce. Breaking school records on strength tests all the time so thats why I started saucing. I still couldnt do enough to beat that idiot that would take my wieght class. It was 178 i think light heavy wieght class. I finally beat him for my class and I went and captured a school record pin of a 14 second pin. Just stepped on the mat and did a hip toss and pin. I dont think at my age I should have juiced. I was doing it all wrong and I remember my acne was so whacked and my hormones omg... I even would shoot wrong and bleed half to death like an idiot. I can naturally do 315 6x's now and Im 33.

[vanda1s]

ok, i just want to compare with other 16 year olds to see where i stand...

in january i could bench 285x5 (15 and 10 months) and then i hurt my shoulder cuz i have bad form and from football.

now after taking a break and going light, i'm doing 200x5 with strict form and lookin to get back up.

[Wallmic]

[The French Curler]

I'm 15 years old and a sophomore. My bench press is 215 at 144 bodyweight.

[officeLINEBACKER]

[DARKSEID]

Why does everyone feel weak, when you know half of the posts are bullsh*t. Not to point anyone out here, but Luv MY Roids, your numbers change in every post. this post you write you do 315 for 6 last one was 455 for 10, and your gym had to get a special bar for you cause your so strong. Judging from the sounds of it, I would guess your profile seems pretty fitting since you can't ever make up your mind about what you lift. I'm not trying to flame you, but like everyone says it's insulting to people who bust there ass.

[LM1332]

i am 18 yo 150-155lbs and maxed out at 185

Why does everyone feel weak, when you know half of the posts are bullsh*t.

When I was in highschool, anyone who could bench over 200 lbs. with free weights was elite. My group of friends thougt I was hardcore when I could bench 160-180 pounds in highschool. Granted, my friends didn't work out, but it was still a good feeling to be thought of as a strong person among my peers. I even impressed many of the jocks as well as the football coach with my lifts, especially when I demonstrated a 300 pound deadlift. Heck, I even got compliments on my [just under] 16 inch arms.

I just take everything on the internet message boards with a grain of salt. Personally, I like reading about how all these kids have lifts that dwarf mine... it gives me motivation to think that compared to everyone on the boards, I am relatively weak.

If one wants to find out how they really compare in strength to others, I suggest entering a local powerlifting meet... or even one that most state fairs have. I did such a thing at last years Wisconsin State Fair, and took second place in the junior division, 198 lb. class, with a 305 bench in a single ply Inzer poly. I thought my bench wouldn't even place. Three-hundred and five pounds seems like childs play when discussed on many of the boards. Yet I pulled second place.

There are a lot of people with great lifts, but it seems most of them don't have the guts to get out there and show the audience when it's time to put up, or shut up.

Always do the best YOU can do, and don't worry about anyone else.
LOL, the only time I feel weak is when comparing my lifts to what people boast on the internet.

[ironfist]

[PInk FLoyd]

[LilVito469]

[RoNNy THe BuLL]

[Tuff1]

[RoNNy THe BuLL]

Im sorry but I call B.S. on 90% of you.

Make that 99%, and nope, it ain't jealousy. It's the truth.

[kdawg21]

Watch where you step on this thread its gettin deep in here. I have to say I played football with some guys in college that couldnt throw up the numbers these kids are claiming.

[JGK]

Make that 99%, and nope, it ain't jealousy. It's the truth.

Preach on brother!

[ToTheMAX04]
