shit when I started out I had struggled with 65lbs on bench... he'd have to be quite naturally strong to have a 160lb bench to start, IMO.

Good luck... post your results so we can help other people and create a formula for figuring out bench from push ups

To answer this question properly, provide us your shoe size.

My little cousin is 13 yrs old, about 5', Like 110lbs or so, he benched 160, I was surprised lol. Is that good, it seems pretty good to me. He doesn't lift weights or anything he's just always done sports, wrestling and football, which does help some.

yeah, that's fantastic. Strong tendons on the little bastard, just like my little bro (13 years old).

Yes he would have to be naturally strong, but he says he can do about 75 push ups so ill give him the benefit of the doubt that hes not totally weak

Yah, well I did a new record for me, and I did 83 pushups last week. I tried to bench the other day and I maxed out at about 145lb, but it's alot to do with technique and once I get that down, and breathing correctly I think I'll be able to do alot more.

Very nice.

You'd probably be a very strong bencher if you trained it properly and ate like you meant it.
