I was 18 and gradually got to the magic 100kg in 6 months,gradually adding weight, it was funny i thought i climbed MT Everest.

I bet there are those lifted 225 there first go,Be Honest



I thought it might be an interesting thread when you first started working out how long before you hit 225.At 18 i was 150 soaking wet im now 17 years later 280 but have love handles which i hope to lose in 2008. ;D

Took me about 2 1/2 years.  I started lifthing when I was a high school freshman and could only bench @ 75 lbs.  I was one weak bitch!  I got 225 the summer between my Junior and Senior year.  That was such a huge thing for me, to get 2 plates.  Nice memory.

Can't remember, but I broke the BP record at my high school when I was a sophmore, the record was held by a senior at that time who weighed 225 and did 375, I broke it at 165 and did 395.

Actually, I should be a bit more truthful...
My parents got me one of the Weider 210 lb adjustable sets for Christmas.  So the first time I tried to bench a 25 on each side (75lbs) I got crushed!

So I benched LESS THAN 75, but I don't know how much less!
