i'm 5ft8 and weights 185 and i am 17 male. when i was about 170~175 pound last time i remember doing 4~5 reps of 185 pound bench press. i regulary benched 6~8 reps of 135 pound. is it bad?and i haven't go to the gym for long time because i really don't have time to go there right now. how much weight do i need to bench at my weight? and i saw some skinny guy can bench more than me.. how can guy who is smaller than be can bench more?
all about practice, his arms may be small but all muscle while a different person with the same size arms benches 1/2 that because its fat not muscle
Your bench press is above average for a 17 year old. Just do alot of chest, shoulder, and tricep workouts. You don't have to workout every day. Also eat plenty of protein and get adequate rest. Your bench press should increase in no time.
