Is bench pressing 150lbs. for 6 rep max is pretty good for a 15 year old kid like me?

Question

...Or is it just weak? I'm 5,6, 180 pounds.

Answer 1

there is really no correlation between the age and weight and the maximum bench press. the time in training and the bench relative to the body weight is a better indicator. but if you are relatively new to resistance training then you are doing pretty good since you are benching 83% of your body weight. most adult males can't bench press their body weight.

Answer 2

How long have you been lifting? You should be able to do more than your body weight on the bench. You can get there is you are consist ant and do low reps with max weights. Try doing 3x10, if you can complete the third set increase the weight. You can work out with a percentage of your max. lift. Your max will be more than the 150 you are doing 6 times.

Answer 3

its not bad my cousin just turned 15 and benches 115 for 8 reps but he is 5,7 130 so you should be able to do 6 rep 180

Answer 4

No, you weak piece of chit. I'm 15, 179 cm and 145 pounds. I bench press 185, 8 reps, 3 sets. My leg press is 625, 8 reps, 3 sets.

Answer 6

You weigh kind of a lot, no offense, for a 15 year old. But that's probably good, you may be muscular, I don't know. Well, it doesn't matter.

Answer 7

does it really matter?
or are you just trying to show off...
