Just started lifting again. My 2nd day of lifting after 15 years off and running up to 130+ miles/week, and I benched today 4 x 135lbs two times and then did a 1 x 155lbs lift.
I weight 133lbs. Anyone else can bench 20lbs+ more than their body weight?
180lbs can bench 95lbs more than body weight. Anyone that isn’t fat should be able to bench their body weight for 10 plus reps with some basic training.
I am guessing you are short
I'm just imagining the impressed looks you must've gotten when you slapped those 10s on
You should quit running and try boxing with stats like that. For what it's worth, when I was 22, I weighed 160#, could run 1500 meters in 3:56 and could bench press 275# for 8 reps. I had better combine stats than some of the aspiring football players at the D1 college I ran cross country and track for. Twenty years, a wife and two kids later and I can still knock out a set of 10 at 225 at 180# body weight, but the running has turned to hobby jogging and coaching my kids soccer team.
don't get overly excited. I'm 50 and weigh 140 lbs and can do 200 now but back in the day 255. PR's of 1:05 for 1/2 and 45:32 for 15k.
I know it's early for you but that's not great. 140 and was benching 245, in my late 40s. I'm 5"9 ran 4:0x, 14:00, 23:00
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
