    315 at 14? I honestly doubt that.
    What motivates you?

    My 17 year old friend is 6'3" and 200 lbs. and he does 315 and has been lifting for 3 years and he is one of only 3 people who bench 300 something and I am talking football kids so if you are 14 and do that, I bench 700 lbs. to warm up and im only 4 years old. you wont be able to pick it up off the rack for 5 more years let alone put it back up.

    lol to funny
    I like pink tacos how about YOU :)

    bodyweight 170
    bench 285
    deadlift 330
    miltary 160 actually havent max yet

    I fight because I know this world is cold,cold place I've been let down stepped on, passed up,and F' D over I fight because I know that in this world, the one perosn you can rely on is yourself wives cheat,family abandons and friends sell you out. When I.m that cage it me versus the world True I might get beaten but I won't be a deceiver. IN the cage I find truth, It is only throught truth that we can find ourselves.

    Limits are only for those that set them . If you have the will power you can accomplish all your goals. Each journey begins with a step.

    I/m not scared i not afraid I am tough I/m a animal and i will eat you if i have too

    no fear

    this is obviously a joke. If your in the military you should no some standards of physcial assessment.

    But if you are serious, yes anything over 150% is very good for bench.

    I'd have to say you're jumping to conclusions...there are too many factors to make a statement like that.

    he COULD get a 500. if, his 140 lbs is rail thin 5 foot 8- 5 foot 11 or so, and has little experience. if he gains weight, does the right training, and uses a DD shirt, I am pretty confident that he could do 500 in 2 years. thats a possible (not sure how likely, though) goal.

    and of course he can do 315 in 2 years.
