If you can bench press 200+ lbs then I salute you. I can too. How about you?

Hmm. Never really tried to see how much I can bench. Muscle is no the most imporant thing in my life.
I will congratulate anyone who can bench 200+ pounds especially if your young.
Although i've read that weight lifting at a young age like say 11 is bad for your joins and can cause growth reduction. Anyway its your body do whatcha want with it so long as you don't try to kill yourself.

Oh and please don' make any spam of of my post. I knwo it may be tempting but please don't.

I used to wrestle (the last 6 years, took this year off) As of last year I could bench 140. I weighed 120.

It's not that impressive, but I can bench my weight. As a wrestler I relyed more on speed and energy to get me through, not strength. My stratagy was just tire the other guy out, then pin him while he's tired.

As with anything on the internet:

Unless you show me a video of you doing it, proving it is you and all that, I call your bluff.

And even if you can prove it..I still will doubt it. XD

Personally, I can do...pfft, I do not know. Have not done any in years, no point to. Benching works muscles that do not help in strikes, wrong area. It works the...bah, not even going to pretend I know the names right now. Point is, the muscles needed to bench press weights actually work against the muscles which provide strikes with their force. So everyone who thinks "Lulz, I ken bench lots weight an kill j00!" is crazy wrong.

I rambled. Oh well. XD

With a few exceptions, most people on here will be under 16. If in fact you can, as you claim bench 200 lbs, I implore you to stop doing weights now. That sort of thing at your age can stunt your growth and give you back problems in later life. Personally, I don't bench press, because it's pointless for the exercise which I do. I focus mainly on the:

Sternocleidomastoid, mylohyoid, scalenes, anterioirs, medius and posterior muscles.

I"m around 110lb, and I have benched like 100 or so...
but I'm a pretty lanky guy, so 100 is a lot for me...

That's the thing though, I don't lift weights, I was just born unnaturally strong.

I am 14 atm and when I used to workout I could prooably get 110 when I weighed 100 but I stopped because it was messing with my joints so now I could probably do 65

There's nothing wrong with benching that much. You just have to have built the muscles to do it.

also, i'm surprised at some of these amounts, but considering most of the people on here don't weightlift or take weightlifting classes to know how to lift/bench/squat/etc without messing up your back or knees or anything for the rest of your life.

You weren't benching correctly.
