The first time I benched was my sophomore year in high school(I started my second year of college now), and I lifted 185 with no help. I haven't tried maxing out since then. Lol. I also used to lift 160 for incline but that was just one summer my junior/senior year in high school. I've altogether stopped working out sadly..

@comicace3: I'd love too man, but whenever I have time, I don't have the energy. Lol. Or motivation. More like a combination of the two haha

@thevivas: lifting is love. Lifting is life. Do something to get yourself active. Challenge yourself, and break that cycle of laziness if you want to live longer. When ever you have time, work on body weight exersisies. Some are exauhsting but fun.

@wolverine08: It's all good. I bought some whey today, and I was thinking about doing creatine but I'm hesitant on starting it.

@i_like_swords: Well as wolverine08 said, benching your weight on your first try would be very impressive, but if you're just average, you'd probably be able to put up 135 or 145 pounds.

I did 135 my first time.

@stormdriven: If you could come up with 30 bucks I'd invest in a pull up bar. Push ups pull ups and freehand squats can do wonders. How heavy are your dumbells?

I was off of the gym for a couple of months and now I am trying to get back in shape. This week I pushed 60 kilograms from the bench press and I am trying to get things going. Next week 70 or even more. :)

On my school track we had to sprint 6 laps. I lapped everyone in our class but two people who I was only a few feet off from beating them.

I workout differently than most of the guys on here it seems. Basically, I'm an athletic/competitive runner and plan on finally participating in a team sport next year (soccer - or I prefer to call futbol due to my Hispanic ancestry lol). I'm great at sprinting short distance and running long distance. I don't workout for major strength and muscular gains. I workout mainly to develop cardiovascular endurance, lower body strength, and core.

Not necessarily so far concerned about my upper body build and strength. Due to excess muscle mass on this portion of the body would slow you down and drain your stamina during a run/sprint. Furthermore, the more muscle mass you had, the more energy and oxygen is required for the muscles to do their thing. Along with the fact muscle is denser than fat and possessing excess muscle on the upper body, it appears to weigh you down during a run/sprint. Thus you begin slowing down.

Now don't get me wrong, I still workout my upper body and still have an above average level of strength for a person. I ever so rarely lift heavy weights. For upper body workouts, I mainly just lift light to moderate weight dumbbells, close grip pushups, chin-ups, pull-ups, and shoulder presses. So there's not really any bench presses or any of that sort of upper body training I implement into my traditional workouts.

I work my lower body, cardio, core, and agility the hardest for the sake of my agile/running ability. For instance, I implemented dumbbell squats, jumping squats, sitting against wall (forgot what it's called), leg presses, jogging long distance, lunges, burpees, sprints, leg raises, plank forms, balance, crunch forms, etc. As well as I do T25 when times are tough or didn't feel my workout was enough.

Therefore I've obtained a highly agile athleticism and shredded core. If I had to describe my physique, my upper body is lightly built yet nicely toned. My core is shredded and legs are tough and well built. You would also notice the obvious low body fat percentage (you can barely feel or see the fat lol).

Though I'll admit, some of y'all are stronger than me as I don't lift that heavy, but let's see how well you fare against me running half a marathon and sprinting 400 meters *evil laugh*

I try to do a bit of everything. Curls, bench, deadlift, military press and squat. Too much of one thing tends to imbalance yourself and make it easier to get injuries imo. Plus building a strong core makes most of the other lifts easier also. If you want to gain strength and mass its pretty much a must to do a variety of exercises.

No one on CV works out, if anyone says they do they are liars!!!

Also I've been curling 25 pounds, I don't know if that's a lot or not. I could definitely switch to 35's if I had them.

Potato chips, ice cream, and coca cola are my chums for life. I'm perfectly fine with dying at 30 years.

I'm 13 and I can do 130as opposed to my 110 at te begining of this year.

I think I'm coming along well-ish. I'm only 5'5 and 125 lbs. So Id say I'm doing okay.

And I can't brag much. Compared to a lot of my friends who also play football with me im kinda weak :/. Mostly cuz they're mostly all approaching 6 ft by now, but eh.
