<p>You just have to keep adding weight and challenging your muscles. It takes a LONG time for anyone to get up to 300.</p>
<p>5'10"-->285lbs.</p>
<p>I'm 5'4, and the last time I benched was a year and 1/4 ago. It was about 45-60lbs. Yeah, I'm weak, what can I say.</p>
<p>I don't think I could bench just the bar either! My max is probably about 10 lbs- that's a fairly generous estimate though. :-)</p>
<p>MooMoo, my backpack probably weighs about twice that.</p>
<p>About 50lbs or so, the last time I tried, which was about half a year ago. More on the incline. Hehe.</p>
<p>5' 8"-->315 lbs.</p>
<p>And, no, if you're genetically strong, you can build up to 300 in about 2 months. Its freaky scary to watch someone do that though.</p>
<p>I'm 21 years old, 6"1', weight = 215 lbs. About four years ago I weighed 180 lbs (190 lbs is the most comfortable weight for me....215 came with some extra fat) and I maxed 240 lb bench, shortly after I started lifting weights on a regular basis. I got lazy and stopped lifting after that. In December of 2004 I benched 250 lbs twice, but that was after 10 reps of 150 lb, 5 reps of 200 lbs, and 3 reps of 225 lb with very little rest in between....I was just fooling around and trying out my cousin's new weight system. So I could probably bench over 250 lb if I wanted to go for a true max. Not bad considering I hadn't benched anything between June 2001 and December 2004. If I had stayed with the weight lifting four years ago and got into a good program I probably could be benching over 350 lbs by now. I have the genes for it. When my dad was my age (he has the same body structure as me) he maxed out at 475-500 lbs. But he was a football player and did a lot more lifting than I would ever do. He was 5'11'' and maybe weighed 200-220 lbs at the time.</p>
<p>A big difference between people is the distance they have to press the bar. I know some guys who are so big the only have to push what for what seems to be a 12 inches. But I press the bar for about 23 inches, the length from my grip to my chest. I do push-ups the same way, but sometimes with greater distance since I like to use push-up bars.</p>
<p>im 5 9 - 5 10 rite now and can only bench about 140 - my weight - thats not my max but thats what i regularly can do......im trying to increase both how much i bench and my weight
u think ill still get any taller?</p>
<p>6'2" - 210 lbs - maxing at about 215
Anyone taking any whey or creating supplements or been on 1AD or Methyl 1 or Andro?</p>
<p>i use whey</p>
<p>my friend took M1T this summer and made very little gains--supplements cant make up for hard work</p>
<p>I use Optimum Nutrition Whey and take creatine
The creatine has worked well for me in terms of weight gain
You just have to drink a LOT of water
I have a bunch of friends who took M1T and they all had tremendous gains but they were in the gym for 2 hours a day every day, so ...</p>
<p>I knew a girl who could bench 210. She weighed 170 tops. Holy crap she was such a hoss.</p>
<p>i'm 5 9
i weigh 135
i can bench 90
that's sad
i have to go to the naval academy this summer too. i cant even break 100</p>
<p>Start taking Creatine, Glutamine, and Whey and get a gym membership. Lift hard for 2 months and you could bulk up to 160 and I dare say bench at least 150. Talk to the people at GNC and they can help you out.</p>
<p>hashah easier said than done BCgoUSC</p>
<p>Make a routine, eat right, and don't slack off.</p>
<p>If you approach working out the same way you approach studying for the SATs, or something similar, you're going to see real results, real fast.</p>
<p>Yeah I agree
To build muscles you are going to have to pack on the calories and the protein, but you're also gonna gain some fat.
Make a routine, but vary it so that your muscles don't get used to it. Look into some Whey Protein to supplement your protein and creatine to gain weight really fast.</p>
