You should be able to bench 215... you don't get there within a day though, takes some dedication. You should also be able to bench more than your weight after some serious training! I'm talking about barbell press not machine.

bench 280lb, I weigh 220lb. Work out once in a blue moon....

lol

btw next time you lie about your year of birth in your profile, take the time to figure out how old that actually makes you - hint: if you were born in 1985 like you said, you'd be 20, not 16.

I've taken part in more powerlifting meets/comps than I care to remember and I have yet to see a 150lb 16 year old put up 300lbs. If you could put up 2x your body weight theres no way you wouldn't be competing, but then again this is the internet, where every 14-18 year old kid can bench 300+ and squat half a ton what was I thinking

I see. I only use certain machines cause they force you to do it properly. Or so I have been told!

Yup thats right, don't stray from the plain old bench and bar, machine are useless and don't develop your stabilizers at all.

Stabilizers??? I focus more on cardio then anything so I don't know much about the other things. If I get any bigger it will be a bitch to find clothes that fit me.

I guess so but most of those stores are pricey right? That and the styles in those stores aren't as good as most stores in the malls!

Being a big mofo is style all on its own
