I am male, 147 pounds, 5'8, and 15 years old how much should I be able to bench press?

Question

Right now I can bench 230 pounds.

I can do 6 reps at 230 pounds.

Answer 1

That is a good bench amount. If you look at guidelines put out by the National Strength and Condition Association, a 1 Repetition Maximum of 130% of your body weight is considered to be above average for men. So you are doing well.

Answer 2

There is no magic number. The important thing is that you improve yourself. If you can do 6 reps now, try for 8 next week, then 10, then 12. When you reach 12 and are comfortable, add 5 lbs. Don't push yourself too hard, or you may get injured. This improvement should take 3-4 weeks.

Bench press about 1/2 of your weight. Then if that is easy work you way up and stay at that weight for another week then add some more weights. Have fun but slow and easy wins this race.
