Well, that's a pretty small linebacker. I'm an 8th grader from Oregon, and am 5'10" 150. I play inside linebacker. I bench 160, so I'd say you should be benching 120 minimum (your body weight) but 130 is a good goal.
120 pounds? If you are 6' tall and weigh 120 pounds you are dangerously underweight. Do not lift anything, you need to see a doctor and eat more. At that BMI you are at a higher risk for heart attacks and your immune system is sevearly compromised. Gain about 40 pounds of fat before you worry about lifting
it matters how much you weigh and your build but i am 150lbs and bench 225 and i am almost 16
You should be able to atleast bench over 385.
average is about 350 and they weigh about 250 and around 6'3
If your a guy then you should bench up to 145 & if your a girl you should bench up to 95 or more. However, that generalization really depends on your height and body type. If you are tall or overweight, then you will press less than someone who is shorter or stockier, respectively.
I'm 13 yrs old and I'm 111 and when i bench press i usually bench 80-110. Jorgie145- A good reference to use is if you can bench you own weight about 10 times. You are considered more "elite" when you can bench twice your body weight or more.
you should be able to bench your own weight.
It all depends on how much you weigh. The ratio between how much you bench and how much you weigh is the most important aspect. If you weigh 120 and bench 185 its fantastic because your benching 1 1/2 times your weight. Anything over your own body weight is impressive.
Most men who don't lift weights cannot bench their own bodyweight until they have trained for a while. If you weigh 95lbs and have never lifted before start with 60-80lbs for 8-12 repswhen that becomes easy, obviously add a bit more weight I weigh 145lbs and I can bench 190 (1 rep max) but I've trained for about 1 year
I bench 190 for 5 reps and 185 for six reps and I weigh 142
you should be at least able to bench your own weight but if you can't then you are pretty weak my bench press is 100 pounds max at a body weight of 96 pounds but keep your self at a pace you can do you dont want to hurt youself. -- Everyones bench press max is different. I weigh 130pounds, my 5 sets of 5 is with 130 pounds and my max is 170pounds. 30-40pounds above your 5 by 5 max is a pretty good guesstimate of your one rep max if you are around my weight. i weigh 139 and can do 190
Bob Sanders can bench 332-pound bench press
He has been known to bench press 405lbs.
