pretty [censored] good.. most of the population cannot bench their own body weight!

Thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I hope to be benching 300 by the time I'm 17.

Whoa! Nevermind! You are only 16! [censored] boy, you aren't even done growing yet at all! That is more than I was benching at 16. At that weight, you will be benching 300 in no time. Keep working, slowly with a good spotter, and you will get there. Do you do weighted dips? They have really helped my max bench. You should try them. And remember, don't neglect the negative portion of the movement, make it slow and deliberate and concentrate on it. It is a power builder for sure!

Actually I'm turning 16 in April. I haven't tried weighted dips yet. I'll have to do that. Don't worry about the negative portion. I never try to rush weightlifting. Like you say slow and deliberate. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />


JYD#30! My Mom grounded me, but it was worth it!
