    Oh boy. Well I'm 6' 4", 260 lbs and after lifting all summer and gaining quite a bit of strength, I think my max was around 230 (240 might have been my one-rep max.. I can't remember and I can't find my lifting log..) before school started and I didn't have any more time to lift. I fully plan to start lifting ASAP, though. I don't think I'm doing bad for 15 years old.. lol (goin on 16! YEA!)

    I doubt you will bench 185 by the end of the summer doing a full touch your chest bench press. But ok to try I guess. My maximum bench press was 210 but i am sure it could have been better. I am 6'2" 188lbs(weigh in today). But really, what good is bench without squats? Oh and i am 16 by the end of March..so i guess that is good? :

    Yeah bench press is overrated, but isnt that what all the skinny guys say?haha. Lets see, when I was 17 was the last time I worked out regularly for B-ball. I was 6'3" (with shoes on, who plays B-ball in socks?) 175lbs and did the 220 workout. But I tested at 203lbs I think. Squats and Hang cleans is all the football guys cared about.
    I got nothing...

    i do reps of dumb bell bench at 130, i dont know what i could max barbell at. I like dumbbells better for excercises because it helps all your small muscles as well These are usually the ones that keep your joints working properly, and minimize injuries. just an idea for you. oh yea, i'm 5'10 185 right now.

    I'm 6'3" close to 200 lbs, and I start my workout with 150lbs and keep adding 20 lbs every 15-20 reps until I max out around 220. I've never tried to do a max weight 1 lift, but I'm pretty sure I could hold 260 in the air. I'm 16 and been lifting on and off (pretty much all on until I started getting 66% averages in classes and spent all night lifting, now I get 80's-90's and lift mostly light workouts before I hit the bed and on weekends) since I was about 12

    Keep on lifting and working out man, you don't get in trouble with the police or get into street fights from spending time at the gym. I worked out insted of doing drugs like alot of people I know. I'm alot happier than they are now.

    I havent been to the gym in 4 years, but i worked at a concrete foundation and floor company all summer. The other night while at my friends place we got in an argument about something stupid do we settled it on the bench. I put up 225 cold, no warm up and half in the bag. Needless to say i lost the argument.
