is a 75 bench press good for a 13 years old 110 pounds, 5'3" male?!


Question: Is a 75 bench press good for a 13 years old 110 pounds, 5'3" male?
Answers:

As a 1 rep maximum, then no. Any male who can not bench their own weight is not considered very strong. You may perform with good muscular endurance, but strength-wise, no.
You are 13 and are going through your fastest growth period. Stop the weights for now and focus on your fitness base through calisthenics and cardio. You will damage your growth plates otherwise and will not reach your full-potential when those growth plates harden. I also have an arm longer than the other because I started lifting too soon.
Edit: It WILL stunt your growth. Do not argue with me on this. I am an athletic trainer, an active thaiboxer and a Kinesiology graduate. Thanks for calling me an idiot for giving you this info. Google links are not good references.
Epiphyseal growth plates are cartilaginous (soft tissue) and do not begin to calcify until you reach a certain age. Damaging this has serious implications such as partial bone growth, stunted growth, and bone deformity. Weight training with 1 rep maximums is a great way to **** your growth plates up. Don't get all whiny because I called you weak; thank me because I actually took the time to tell you.



personally, yeah thats pretty bad. when i was 13 and weighed 125 i was doin 110 lbs. then again, now i am a lineman. keep goin and follow a good diet. protein and carbs.

im a high school lineman. i went through this.



That's great. Very good for your weight, height, and age. Keep working at it slowly and you'll gain alot of muscle in good time.



Definitley I know some 14 year old soccer players who can't lift that much, and I'm a 13 year old girl who can barely lift 24 but can run a mile in 8 minutes. Don't worry, you're doing great.



Most guys I knew at that age were already doing at least 100, regardless of weight (and that is no feat)..

I had done 120 in 7th or 8th grade. Prepare for life as a bottom, puss.



I'm not sure if it's good for that age group, but I don't think it's anything to brag about



That's about right.



yeah.
