14 year old benching

[Aker]

Hey all. I started working out around one year ago at the age of thirteen and my max at bench press was at around 90. Today, a year later, I'm maxing 200lbs at the age of 14. I'm just curious if anyone else had similar results...

[mdx3k]

kid, what where you on?

[Christopher]

with the numbers we have seen flying around in this forums history (old forums included) we could set up a national juniour powerlifting team who would absolutely smash all the records.

Are kids growing much younger these days? I was a young looking 14 year old but even so nobody I knew was big enough to be benching 200.

so what is going on? more lying or some sort of genetic mutation making little kiddies get biggger?

[Aker]

I am not lieing here. I'm 14, turning 15 in January. Last Last Saturday (October 27) after trying every Saturday for a month, I finally benched 200lb's (45lb bench press bar, ad 45, 25, 5, and 2 1/2 on each side of the bar). I only maxed it...thus benched it once. A full set of 8-10 reps I can do like 160 or possibly 165. Any comments are more than welcome...

I had a similar effect...after about over a year somewhere around 1 year and two months i worked out alot and starting with a max of 75 lbs. It was pathetic but as of now i got it up to 225. My max shot up the first month really fast and at about the end of the school year i was at 185 and then now im at 225. I still dont think its all that great tho. So i do believe him cause i did the same . But right now im 15 and i starting at 14. Keep it up. But dont forget to do the WHOLE body dont just bench. WORK YOUR LEGS . DO SOME SQUATS. Work your bis, tris ,back etc. DONT JUST BENCH . PEACE OUT BROTHAS.

Well, i started lifting at 14...back then, i was doing nothing but dumbell curls and benching, and my max bench was 110..Only last year (age 16) did i really start to understand bodybuilding...so i stopped benching for a while and this last month, i've started again...somehow, my bench has jumped from 110 to 240..but im 16...i refuse to beleive that a 14 year old can bench 200!! not because of my ego(well, partly), but because at 14 theres no way your body can be physically mature enough to be able to handle heavy weights like that...What next? are you going to tell us you have 16 inch biceps too? show a pic, then ill believe it

[BigAssDeltoids]

but then again, i could be wrong..i saw something on guiness world records or something about this 8 year old russian kid that could bench a volskwagon...

[str8flexed]

I'll believe him. I did 205 when i was 15 and i did my bodyweight 10X when i was 15 on bench press. Let's stop the hating on these boards.
peace

YO STR8! ITS NOT TOO OFTEN I HEAR ABOUT KIDS THAT ARE 15 YEARS OLD BENCHING 205 BEING THE ONES WHO ARE PICKED ON IN SCHOOL FOR BEING WEAK. DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL WITH SUPER VILLANS? OR HAVE YOU JUST BEEN BLOWIN **** OUT OF YOUR ASS ABOUT HOW YOU ALWAYS WERE PICKED ON IN SCHOOL FOR BEING SCRAWNY AND WEAK? OR ARE YOU JUST BLOWIN **** OUT OF YOUR ASS WITH THAT LAST REPY? JUST WONDERIN.

[str8flexed]

Uh, no. I was picked on since the first day of first grade all the way up through high school. I started lifting when i was 14. and yes, people still ****ed with me even when i benched 205. I never got respect until i got around 300, don't know why, maybe cuz it's cuz i beat the **** out of a kid around that time. BTW, don't ever accuse me of lying.
Peace

Thats pretty damn good for a 14 year old. Theres a freshman in my school who benches 260, but i think hes a roid head. When i was 14 i dont think i could of lifted the bar. : )

[AsianInvasion]

This freshmen at my school last year benched 325 weighing in at 200. Hes only been working out for 2 and a half years. IAnd he used to be skinny. I see him shirtless in wrestling so i know hes at most 9%. 6'1 200 9% thats pretty damn good for a freshmen. Funny thing is, he used to be skinny. I was thinkin he took roids but i could never see any zits or acne on his face or back. Maybe he uses Accutane...

Aker..what are your stats. Height and weight wise.

I know there are some pretty big kids in my brothers grade right now, like 6' 210 (not all muscle, but still, big boys). Possibly you are maturing faster then the average 14 year old.

Well, I'm 14 turning 15 in January. I don't take roids or creatine, or any supplement...I eat alot of protein bars and stuff like that. I weigh 150 and i'm 5'8...I never measued my chest or bi's or anything (I really should tho)...I"m gonna try to bench 205 within like 2 weeks.....

[B1gReDheAd]

yea i believe him too. I just turned 16 a few weeks ago and I rep 140 and i weigh 130. I went from a max of 120 to 200 in a school year so its definitely possible.

[Jay]

this one kid last year freshman year could bench 250!!!!!! and there was another who could bench 275 ....

[derrick_recbb]

It isn't impossible for someone that young to bench that much nor is it impossible without suppliments. For example, me. When I was 15 I entered a bench press competition. I set the new West Virginia state record in that competition with a 303lbs bench. You can look as the USPF records, and it's there. I doubt if anyone will be touching that record anytime soon lol.

[Tony]

when I started lifting weights 4 months ago my max was 135 pounds, I was 16 years old. I turn 17 this Wednesday and my max is around 235. In the first month I went from 135 to 170. No lie. I dont really bench press much anymore, I use dumbells most of the time.

[bigman2125]

What makes you all so sure that a 13 year old can't bench 200 lbs? I'm 13 years old and wheter u wanna beleive it or not i can bench around 200 lbs, and did i metion that i have 16" biceps? believe waht you wanna believe. The truth remains!

[Christopher]

Ok well my initial skeptisism comes from repeatedly seeing people under the age of 15 claiming over 200lb benches. All I can say is what the **** do they put in your water over there in the usa?

I only have known one person of this extreme strength who weighed 158lbs with a 295lb max and he held juniour records in my state.

See now this is exactly what im talking about, alot of 13 year olds have barely entered puberty.

[kdunic]

when i was 15, my max was 80 pounds (i was a bone rack) and 2 years later now i can do 205 max

[illustrious540]

I had results just like yours, actually i hold the record with a bench press of 230 weighing 161, at 14 and 1/2 years old. I didnt know any better so i just benched every day for about 2 months. Because I was new to training it worked for me.

[TeenRoidRage]

I Believe it all !! when i started at 14 i maxed at 85 lb now i can max out at 230lb one year later at 15. i dunno, but teens are working out intensly now ! im also on creatine, it has helped, the only bad thing is im not state qualified till i loose some weight! im 160 lb 7% BF 5/11 Ft

[Nigel]

Im 14...Max I ever benched was 150lbs on a York 2001..About 2 months ago...

[mickeys]

when i was 15 i first benched like 135, but i'm benching 215 now (almost a year later)

[Deciever]

aker, thats really good... im getting there... i just turn 14 four months ago, and i weigh about 123 lbs. i started lifting a bit over a year ago, but didntr get serious in lifting until about 6 months ago. I trained hard, and it paid off. My lifts for my size were really good.. Current my max bench is 180....i wanna be benching 225 by the time i turn 15 in july

[Big V]

I can believe it. My high school has a bunch of lifting records and a kid 5 years ago bench 275 and weighted only 185 as a frosh. Another kid 2 years ago did 270 also. Just super genetics!

[Deciever]

one of the things that attributes to alot of young kids strengths , is that they experiment with **** they shouldnt... like at age 14 they shouldnt be playin around with steroids and hGh. There was this one kid on a football team i played who was 14, and benched 225...his team mates also said he took steroids for a while.....in my opinion, when your young like me, just take the basics, like protein glutamine, and creatine...maybe some ZMA too

[user87745477315471972481]

why is it that I can't find a single 13-15 year old in my whole freaking city who could even do 150?
