please tell me what you think. to inroduce myself im a boy from tennessee and im 16.i got started in powerlifting at the end of my ninth grade year at the weight of 260lbs of fat.i got to lifftin with a partner that was half the size of me but got so much better gains and at one time was stronger than me.i started at a 180lbs on the bench,he started at 130.by 2 months he was getting 230 and i was on 210.but then the summer rolls on and i bust the hell out of pushups trying to do 300 + a night.i couldnt get my hands on any weights so thats all i had.i came back getting 270 in my weightlifting class.i lost 20 lbs and now here are my stats

had a descent day.i went to fotball yesterday and i impressed everyone out there.it felt good actually behing able to use my strength for something else besides powerlifting.there was this real fat boy that was about 330 and my friends were sayin u better be worried about him .i told my friends i wasnt worried and the coach put me right up against him and i laid him out.it felt so good.today we lifted weights and that boy was so weak.he was tryin to get a shirt for benchin 225 and he put 225 on and asked me to spot him and i was thinking ln my head he can get that he dont need a spot.bot it off the bench dropped it right on his chest and screamed for me to get it off.but to me that was just amazing to be that big and that weak.

You are so bad! If you show up your own team mates like that, I can't imagine what you're going to do to your opponents.

dude you kick some serious ass there in the weight room, especially for still being 16. 350+ is a HUGE bench for 16, no matter what size you are.
and 31" quads is absolutely massive bro, almost unreal. you have a huge squat too? good stats all around. what's your height and weight now?
