Am i strong, i can bench 175?

I can do a maximum of 175 lbs on the bench press 120 on deadlift and about 80 on the bicep curl I am 17 years old 290 pounds am I strong I feel flabby and weak

well my hubby is 5'9 180 and lifts 225 I'm not sure about everything else. Your probadly not flabby or weak. Try pushing yourself to do more. If you can't then thats ok, take your time. You dont want to hurt yourself.

Well, back in high school ( a long way away) at your age, I was 5'6, and could bench 200...but, I'd been lifting weights for about 3 years to get there.

290

Well, you didn't mention your height. A good rule of thumb is you should be able to bench your weight times 1.25, if you're strong...and do about 75+ push ups in a set, etc. Sounds like you need to stick to it, perhaps monitor / adjust your diet, and do some cardio. In addition, make sure you stretch, a good warm up is key to improved circulation, better fat loss, and improved performance.

No sorry I don't think your strong. I'm 17 and can bench press 330, powerclean 300 and squat 460, and I weigh on 195. Get on a good workout plan and do it.

How to LOSE weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn't gain your weight overnight so don't expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.

How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

What should a minimum calorie intake be?

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (accept breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.

I can do 175 with my legs. and im a 15 year old girl . and weigh 150
I dont know much about weight lifting, but I'd say your pretty strong.

Hmm well I am a 22 yr old female at 5'5 and I weigh 155 and I bench 200 squat 475ish
You should find a trainer!!

Impressive tallen21 very impressive!

I just started working out again and I can bench 200 pounds 6 times... (no idea what one rep max is) and im an Ectomorph body the hardest of them all to be, your not too bad you just sounds like you should be doing a lot more cardio and eating a lot better that 175 will jump over 200 in nooo time.

well I started weight lifting 3 months ago im 5'6 or 5'7, I weigh 165 lbs and im 15. I can bench 145 lbs 6 times, becip curl 66 lbs 12 times, leg press 705 lbs 12 times, abdominal crunch 176 lbs 20 times and deadlift 242 lbs 6 times so your not that bad your just have to find a good workout and stick to it.

is this pretty good for my first time im 15 weigh about 175-180 could bench 145,8 times could sqaut 185-205 bout 25 reps deadlift 215-225 3x8 and powerclean 155 10-8-8

tell me if this is good or bad im a freshmen in highschool and just started workin out for the first time for my football team im 15 an weigh 175-180 , when my workout group put me on the bench I did 145-10x then we did sqauts I did 185-205 bout 30x all together. Then we did deadlift 215-225, then we did powercleans I did 150 10-8-4 .

Well your doing good but you need to work harder because im 15 and I bench 215 you need to warm up rest than build it up and do 10 reps than rest and keep building and rest after every set and you will get much stromger

it matters how long you been training and how hard I weight 180 ish and bench 315 squat 355 deadlift 315 and curl over 100 I've been training since 5th grade and been training hard for about 2 and wrestling for 3yrs helped I am 17 years. so keep it up

Not really. The minimum you should bench is your weight. im 15, 165lbs and I bench 220.
