Average 15 year old dumbbell/bench press

[Smithy91]

Compared to your average 15 year old, its a strong lift. id say about 2/3 of 16-20year olds males couldnt bench 160 once.


Most guys lie like hell about their lifting stats, untill you see a guy lift a weight with good form aka controlled ALL the way down and ALL the way back up again without a spotter doing half the work for him, dont believe what he says his lifts are like.


Compared to bodybuilders as a group, its a weak lift, but compared to others for your age, its still decent, most of the 15-16 year olds you see on here claiming 250pound benchs have lifted it with about a 6 inch ROM and with help from the spotter.

Basically, no its not good.

If you are doing 165x10 but doing 85's for 6 you probably aren't coming down with the dumbbells nearly far enough. According to the common law governing lifting, the average 15 year old who lifts does 65's for 8 proper reps. Otherwise he will be putting undue stress on his body. Not to mention he may be prosecuted at any time.

i know foreshore I am going down all the way (properly). i have three people watching my form 1 the fitness manager(of my gym) 2 my bro and 3 my dad. and thank you and to everyone that was helpful.

oh in that case, 96.4626436365436% of males between the ages of 12.4632643 and 17.43252 will be 35.153215% stronger than you. you also have AIDS and your adopted. sorry.

im sorry but you have absolutely no muscle and you talk **** your fuxking bench is less than mine and your older than me. like sh!t i lift more than you in everything, EVERYTHING. im not trying to act like a tough strong man on the internet but really i cant use most machines because they are to light. like do you need a spot for body weight exercises. if anyone thinks i am sounding like a tough strong guy, i dont care im talking to this guy here.

ajax eh! Im from oshawa

Ha small world. Whitby here.

Don't listen to them. I'm 15 as well and 85 dumb bells is impressive. But for me I can only do 75's x12 I really haven't tried 85's. And I can max bench around 230? So yeah your pretty strong :-)

[wygdwicfy]

The immaturity is strong with this one.

I'm curious how you can press the 85's for 6 but only barbell bench 165 X 10.

I JUST got the 85's for 6 on my 4th set Monday and I can most likely bench 225.

.

Took the words right outta my mouth.

thanks man and that max bench is really impressive.

[demidevil5]

at 15 i was Db pressing 100's , and benching 225x12 , guezz wut 2 yrz laterz Db pressing 100"max weight there" , benching 225lb x8 , 275lb max. Weight doesn't matter like some people said 230 lb ppl using 35lb weights i still curl 25-30's. Form and Pain is all you need.

[dancer924]

Id say that's darned pretty good. Keep up the great work!

[Swoladrol]

I was 14 and pressing 335 with good form but i was 215. Lost 60 pounds and now i don't even bother.

good weight loss, i have lost 50 but looking to lose 10 more

[Jezey]

i benched 215 this week

[Hodgelog]

Troll. If you can rep 165x10 on bench then you should do way less than 85 on DB bench. Your either lying all together or lying about your DB bench press. Either way stop lying.

Why is everyone being such *******s, he asked a simple question. Either answer it or go waste someone elses time. Oh and he isn't lying, my friend can Dumbell Bench 100X2
but his max with a barbell is only 190. and to answer the question yes that is good, better than any 15 year old i know.

people who talk about their friends lifts are gay

[Rabbadxs]

165x10 is really good at 15. But I don't believe you when you say you can do 85's with DB. IF that were the case then your flat bench would be insanely higher. Or maybe I',m stwpid.

[AshkanT]

you dumbell press 85s but can only bench 165...

somethings wrong there, but you're strong for your age.

[1stChanceToLose]

obviously.. why da fuk do ppl make threads like this?

[Biggar12]

op clearly knows his lifts are above average for 15 years old and is fishing for compliments

His lifts are ****, i was lifting more at 14.

[bizarre23]

lolol i loled so hard

[JBoss518]

Above average for your body weight. I've been going at it very hard for the last 2 years ( got started via football early) and i weigh around 215 and just put up 280 as my new max a few days ago. Keep working at it man.

[dstat19]

I am 15 and i dumbbell press 85 each hand (X6), and bench 165 (X10). is that a lot for my age? because i do more than a lot of people in my gym. so if you can just say it is good or not. thanks

85's is great for your age man. Im 17 and I only do 80's for like 8 reps. I havent tried 85's yet... Most of my friends who have been lifting a little bit and are my age average 75's or so.

I dont know about 15 year olds though. Most of the younger kids at my school I see in the gym dont bench more than like 50's.. Id say the average is like 40s for kids around 15 that I see at the gym.

It isnt all about age but more about lifting experience. I started out benching 35's lol.

[steven48]

im not comparing i want to know if i am doing well? for a 15 year old. like is this a good start?

i wouldn't worry about weight bro, concentrate on getting the correct form and really tearing that muscle up. (i've seen plenty of young kids try to do a ton of weight and completely disregard form at my gym, then a few months later i see them holding their shoulder or elbow wincing)

[patrick723]

1. WUT? 280 at 181 at 15 isn't massively strong?

2. BW multipliers are ****. benching 300 at 150 is a lot easier than benching 500 at 250.

My opinion on number one has changed a lot now.... Oh well.

Lol.

Naturally, you need a 500lb bench at <150lb's at 15 to be decent.
