Hi. I just wanted to know people's opinions here. I wanted to know if I am of average strength for my age/size or where I stand. I weigh 155 lbs. I am about 5'11, 16 years old, and i've never had my bodyfat measured except for a thing on the internet. (it was supposedly at 7%) I have a 30 inch waist and am basically skinny with lean muscle. Right now I squat with 155 lbs for 8 reps. For bench press (I do dumbell chest press instead) I use the 45 pound dumbells and am currently at 6 reps. (I just moved up to 45's the other day so that explains why I only do 6) For preacher curls I use a 60 lb easy curl bar and do 8 reps on it.....for all the exersizes I do about 2/3 sets. Am I of average strength or what?? let me know what you think.     | ||

Hey garza....you sound exactly like me. I'm 16, 160lbs, approx your height and I use around the same weight as you...maybe a bit lighter. I think for our age we are stronger and shaplier than the average person our age. Just wait till we graduate though...we'll be huge! | ||

Hey guys, Thanks for the replies and keep 'em coming. Yeah I think that by the time I graduate I'll be nothing but muscle lol. I have been weight training for a year and I don't even feel like the same person as I did a year ago. Bodybuilding has given me confidence in other areas of my life as well and in only one year....I'm in the 11th grade and I am anxious to see what I will look like when I graduate. I am thinking about going away to Bible college in either Indianapolis or St Louis, Ive been surfin the net for some good gyms to go to....hopefully I'll find a good one that I can afford. | ||
