It's not really that high for a big guy. I could bench 315 when I was 16 after working out for around 3 years. I am a big guy, so it just depends on your build. A few other big guys from my school were able to bench around the 300 mark, and several could bench 225 - 265. I'm not sure why so many in this thread are in disbelief at the weight - it seems about right to me for a high school athlete with a big structure.
Amused - exactly what I was thinking. You are just trying to be cool or show-off if you are lifting without a spotter. I've never lifted anything heavy without another person there to assist and never will. It's just stupid.
I am just saying that I can't bench 285, and apparently, neither could he. I am not saying that young kids can't bench that much.
I am saying that the guy claiming 500 pound benching is full of shat.
I wasn't really talking directly to you. It was more of a general statement for this thread.
