TheBandit If your 15 years old and bench 250lbs, I dont believe it. Need pictures to prove. Your surely not Little Hercules.

 

[Dirty Boy]

191lbs 12-13%BF Age: 20

Bench: 100 dbells 11 reps


Note to anyone who cares:

I recently had these stats:
183lbs 12-14%BF (Aug 2002)
Bench: 100 dbells 2 reps

I reduced my volume (basically following Iron Addict's HIT plan from got fina message boards) and am up to my current stats. I'm a big fan of it. Peace.

PS The training includes the 20 rep squats and I love 'em. I know it's not much but i'm up to 225lbs for 20reps.

I lifted 400 for one rep once. I lifted with a powerlifter that day and we used his techniques. I had previously only lifted 300 once. So using powerlifting techniques added 100lbs. to my max bench. Lots of fun, not to mention motivating when your lifting with someone who weighs 380 and benches 800!

isn't the world record 800 or so? anthony clark, first man to bench 800 right?

It's possible..I know a kid who was around that size at 16 and he could max at around 250-265. Impressive for a short stalky guy who never got off the creatine.

Waldo...don't be so quick to dismiss Bandit's claim. My brother is 15 years old, 6' tall, 186, and can bench 230. He could probably bench a lot more if he did low-rep sets....currently he only drops below 6 reps to attempt a max.

This was my max in august, I assume it may have went up a bit since then!
