<p>Does anyone here bench press? I been active for a couple of months, it really relieves stress.</p>
<p>cooooooooooooooooooooooooool. but not really. i wish i worked out.</p>
<p>ooooooooooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkk.</p>
<p>Yeah. Not a fan though. I prefer curls.</p>
<p>i do! yea its great for stress but a little tough on the elbow joints (at least for me). whats your max right now?</p>
<p>Almost 160, you?</p>
<p>I max 190, pushin for that 200. I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to get to 200 before I turned 15 though :( which was a couple weeks ago.</p>

<p>You don't know anything about working out do you?</p>
<p>I do all around lifting. I focus mainly on core. </p>
<p>I couldn't work out if it wasn't for a sport though, I find weightlifting terribly boring by itself.</p>
<p>We work out in PE twice a week...not a fan of the bench, myself. I prefer attached weights, b/c for some reason my right arm is a whole lot stronger than my left, which makes benching a precarious situation.</p>
<p>dank, i so agree.</p>
<p>running and weightlifting = BORING</p>
<p>running + weightlifting = really good for your health and also fun. </p>
<p>running is fun just because i really look forward to runners high. weightlifting can get a little boring sometimes, but its still ok. i was maxing out at 195 (so close to the 200 benchmark) during the summer, but i stopped lifting when school started and i just picked it up again so im down to about 175 right now. is it normal to lose that much strength in that time? i know its been a few months, but it still seems like i lose too much strength if i dont lift.</p>
<p>I didn't lift for almost half a year and surprisingly I developed the most bulk in my muscles over that period of time and when I started up again, I was actually stronger and my max was higher. No lifting, nothing. Just lots of sprinting for basketball conditioning.</p>
<p>i did 185 4x yesterday but i only weigh 158.....i'm kinda ****ed i lost 20 pounds this year and about 10 since football started in summer...also i lost a lot in my maxs in about every upper body excersize in the past few months cuz i was lazy in november</p>
<p>I only weight 130 lbs :(</p>
<p>Lifting weights is sooooooooooooooo boring. But I want to start working out.</p>
<p>I lift weights all the time. I have to for shot put, though. Bench press isn't a particular favorite of mine, I think last time I maxed it was only 260. Anyways, I'm a big fan of shoulder press. I can shoulder press 90 lb dumbbells, which is pretty good.</p>
<p>I don't think it's really that boring, especially after about 3-4 weeks after you start. Once you get to that point, you'll notice results and you'll never want to stop. I always was, and still am, an overweight kid. However, once I finished third in my conference in shot put as a sophomore, that whole thing didn't matter anymore. I got there from working out and working hard. The results are tangible if you're willing to work for them.</p>

<p>Lol, he asked if you like to bench, and you responded that you like to curl instead...</p>
<p>They work 2 completely different muscle sets... They're not related at all except that you should be using both and several more exercises for a complete workout, which is why I can tell your knowledge of working out is limited.</p>
<p>^^^Hostile much?
"You like apples? No I prefer oranges"...guess my fruit knowledge is limited too?
He asked if I like to bench...I said no, I prefer the curl. Not seeing what you're trying to get at here?</p>
