<p>^ Actually distance runners bench too. We go to weight room 2-3 times a week. And abs 2-3 times a week.</p>
<p>Yeah but our coach has us do exercises with elastic bands instead which makes up for the weight room, but before I was in high school our XC team actually did go to the weight room.</p>
<p>0.4</p>
<p>I guess.</p>
<p>2-3, depends on how I’m feeling.</p>
<p>225</p>
<p>I weigh 140</p>
<p>2, but I haven’t benched in a long time.</p>
<p>My cross country team never set a foot in the weight room.</p>
<p>can you guys bench me some day? I want to see that it is possible.</p>
<p>2, but probably less now due to inactivity.</p>
<p>75, 10+ reps. Pushing yourself to do heavy weights with much less reps is unhealthy.</p>
<p>^ It’s how you build mass. Doing light weight with a high number of repetitions will tone your muscles, however it won’t make you bigger.</p>
<p>
I’m so amazed right now</p>
<p>^^^ Eh, don’t know who your personal trainer is, but if you want to build mass you need to aim for the 6-10 range, with 12 definitely indicative of needing to up your weights. Pyramid sets can include 90% effort in the 1-3 range.</p>
<p>I did weight lifting a few times back in 7th or 8th grade. Back then I was at around 120 so I’m guessing I’m at 2. I’m a female.</p>
<p>When I did weight training in high school we were supposed to aim for 10 reps (and only stopping when we really couldn’t lift more). If we couldn’t do 7 reps we were supposed to drop weight. If we could do 12 we were supposed to move up.</p>
<p>I benched 145 pounds as a 14-year-old Asian girl…just because I was curious as to how much I could lift…</p>
<p>wow im laughing so hard at the e-stats on page 1 of the guy who says he benches 400 lbs. wow, you must be a world record holder of the teen bench press record at your weight, lmao, and who knew he would be some kid posting on collegeconfidential! lmao, you’re not impressing anyone with your e-stats kid.</p>
<p>but back to the topic, i benched 185 for 10 reps when i last did barbell bench press. i usually do dumbbell presses, because they are better for symmetry.
it’s not really like how much you’re benching is a good indicator of anything. i know kids who can easily rep 225 but they look like twigs. there are also kids who struggle with 135 and are more muscular than most. so strength is def. not equal to size at all. not to mention that you completely left out the compoun exercises that will really make you grow, squats and deadlifts. try deadlifting consistently for a few months and you will see huge changes in your physique.

HAHAAAAHA yess</p>
<p>What agency do you model for? Ford? Elite?</p>
<p>^^I was afraid there would be only two or three replies had I said “how much do you deadlift?” or “how much do you squat?”</p>
