AFTER ONE YEAR OF LIFTING WHAT WAS YOUR BENCH?

[alexxx]

I started out with dumbells so after a year I was doing 80s x 10 reps flat press and 225 x 8 reps decline press at 16 years old. 

[sarcasm]

 I think I was up to 90 or 100 pounds.

[jacshelb]

11.5 lbs.  Which was: the bar + a bran muffin taped to the middle.

 That was my bench. It took me a couple years to get to l plate a side, but man was I happy when I did it.

I started messing with weights at age 13.  I went from a BEASTLY 120 to 180 before I turned 14.

"after one year of training and at 16" i am benching 275 on the barbell press.      but i have never trained for strength and never gone for lesss than 8 reps in any work set.  never maxed out with dumbells, but i use the 85's for four work ses 8-10 reps each.

So you can bench 275 for 8?

no no no..i said never gone less than 8 reps in a work set.    testing for my max is not a work set.    im glad to have got it once.

After 1 year of training......I started off with an old Weider bench and some rusty plates in my parent's backyard with no more than 150lbs and after 1 year I could press all my weights for like 3 reps......shortly thereafter I joined my first gym and my strength began to really jump in about year 3 and then again in year 5 after that it was steady increases there on in.   LOL!!!!  I couldn't lift an unweighted Olympic bar when I started.



MOS

[benchthis]

105 to 265 freshman year in high school

[natural al]

I trained for years in the basement with a 110lbs plastic set.  Then I wrestled all through high school so my weight had to stay pretty low.  At 18, I trained mostly with dumbblells and I was doing heavy volume training with this guy that was waaaay stronger than me, I went from using the 70's to the 120's in just a few months..but then I got sick and couldn't train for about 18 months...a couple of years ago I did the 135's for 4 but I was only training once a week doing a whole body workout...

Lost a bet my junior year when I couldn't press 60 on the universal. Started working out between junior and senior year (16 years old). Benched 190 at end of senior year. 245 at end of freshman year in college. 275 as a sophomore. 295 as a junior. 315 as a senior. 355 one year later. 370 two years later. 385 3 years later. 400 4 years later. 455 10 years later. 495 for a double last week.

 Let's be fair to candidate, remember that people doubted your claims at first. I think he could do it.

D'oh!!!  You had me going there too.

[Dan-O]

I knew before I even opened this thread that alexxx didn't really care what anyone else could bench after one year, he just wanted another opportunity to talk about himself!

[alexxx]

Thats why I keep talking about myself in this thread









Alexxx outlifts you all!

[blondmusclhunk]

At age 16 I started out at an embarrasing 95#  and within a year i was up to 145

[brianX]

Probably around 150 lb. I was just a casual lifter for about 10 years, after which time I could bench 250 for a few reps. My bench quickly went from 250 to 375 once I got serious about training.

[bigbalddaddy]

I've been on a Cell tech cycle and have gone from pressing 135 x 2 maxing out to Monday night doing 675 for 8 on incline incline!!!

[Always Sore]

same bench i was using the year before except a year older and dirty..duh...
