First Bench Ever. How much did you do?

[getfitdoc]

The first time I maxed out I did 170#'s. I weighed 165#.

I was 18 years old. A senior in High School. It was in May I think, last quarter of senior year.

I don't remember a time when I couldn't rep a plate, but that's because I started doing push ups before I ever set foot in a gym.

First bench ever, dropped I think 114 pounds on me. I was able to bench 85 pounds @ 11 years old, don't remember if that was a max or a double but I couldn't bench my whole set for awhile.

My first bench ever I couldn't get the bar up.......45 pounds. So I don't know....I think it was something like 2 20 pound dumbells. But no worries.......I can get it up now. Easily.

I felt like a puss too cause everyone else on the football team had been in the gym all summer and were doin that for reps.

 

[Viktor_Polanski]

I was benchin 45 lbs for reps when I was around 10. My first max was 225 lbs for 1 rep when i just turned 18 (about 10 months ago) and I weighed about 170lbs-175lbs at 5 ft 8 1/2. That was steroid free.

 

[vendela99]

Age 17 I weighed 125 lbs, and benched 155.
