for refernce Powerlifter Nathan Massiah could bench 130kg at his peak at 16 (BW 91kg which is only 5 kg less than me)

[Saint Casanova]

Around 1.4x

Get to around 1.5 and then it’s a good bench. Target is 2 times BW though

 

[CantStopTheMog]

nga are u trolling? even top powerlifter can barely pull 2x body weight other than that yeah valid

He was quite heavy for his height. I think he’s quite short.

 

[CantStopTheMog]

He was quite heavy for his height. I think he’s quite short.

He was 5’10 at 16 so yeah average height and he has had Brnch genetics like long arms but is number one JR powerlifter for weight world wide

Thanks bro for answer. Wasn’t sure but yeah I’d agree only reason I thought maybe elite was bc I’m a newbie in the gym

Elite level is around 2 times bw bench. Assuming you want to be a good power lifter, that’s what you’ll need.

true but at my age in PL competitions the winners normally have around 1.5-1.6x BW benches at my weight class

Also remember that some people start very strongly but plateau quickly and others start with okay numbers but progress constantly for years. Look out for that.

If your bench starts to plateau, do dips.

Yeah DL isn’t so bad. It’s Better than most powerlifter but squat I’d guess one rep is 170-180kg so good but not Powerlifting standard

[CantStopTheMog]

I go to a private gym for boxing (but it’s a real gym not just boxing gym) run by IPF so it’s defo real weights. I also know a guy around 6’7 who is HUGE and can only Bench 120kg at like 35 so it’s defo possible
