How much can a freshman bench press?

Answer 1

that all depends on your bady structure build and how often and how much you exersice but do not push yourself over your own limit...

I would say for a guy 80-150lbs and girl 40-120

I agree somewhat with the above answer, but 120 for a freshman girl is ALOT. Any woman who can legitamately bench press that, regardless of her age, has my wicked respect. I know some guys who, as freshmen, could bench press 345 pounds, while weighing 240. But others I knew bench pressed only the bar, so i agree there is a wide range of capability. I would say that a very impressive bench press for a freshman male is 200 pounds and up. For a girl, 90 pounds and up is similiarly impressive.

Boy, the above poster sure has some high expectations in the bench press..... >.<
