Question:

How much should i be bench pressing?

Im 15 , about 5'8 how much should i be pressing?

Answer:

Im 16 , 5'11 and i max out 275. First off are you just starting to lift ? my max has taken about a year and a half to achieve with hardcore lifting. You should be starting off with a max of 90-115..
As much as you can do 5 reps with. I'm 15, 5'10 and I bench 110
Your age and height have nothing to do with it. Lifting isn't about hitting a number, it is about continually getting stronger - raising your personal best over time. Why do you care about the bench press? The squat and dead lift are more important in terms of measuring strength.
Benching Calculator
Like okorder / For example, take 10 or 15lbs on each side. About 60-70 lbs total and see how many fluent presses you can do. Going all the way touch your chest and up. And obviously always have a spotter. So put your weight you lifted (go lower weight, you want alteast be able to do 8reps) and put it in the calculator. Its a estimate, the number given, take that and start benching alower weight. This gives you a start
