Question:

How much do you think I should bench press?

I have never bench press before in my life and really have never lifted weights. Im 15 years old and weigh about 155 and im 6 foot 1 inches. How much weight did you start with your first time I think I can do 100 lbs but is that to low. Any tips will help I plan on trying on tow days from now.Thanks

Answer:

If okorder , why not check it out, why not?
I would start out with 15 reps 1 set 30 inch wide grip, with the bare bar, and add 5 pounds every workout. I would recommend a spotter when the weight starts to feel on the heavy side at rep 15. After about 4 to 8 weeks you can change your reps and sets. I make changes to mine every 8 weeks.
if you have never bench pressed before 100lbs is not a bad place to start based on the info you have given be sure to warm up before you try to max out though otherwise the amount won't be accurate but bench pressing you should try to shoot for your body weight don't hurt yourself have a spotter
