This is a good relief...
I am 14, 5' 8'', weigh 127, and bench 125...
Coach is always stressing being able to bench your own weight, but i could never do it!
There are kids who weigh 150-180, and bench 200+ that i work out with.
I am more cut than them, but was always jealous of thier pure strength.
i started this year benching 95 on a really good day, and now im up to 125. I figured you just have to have the right friend to push you that extra rep...
One a bit stronger than you, so you are always trying to push yourself to match him.
4-6 sets of low reps, heavy weight, and every once and a while, at the end take all the weight off, and see how many times you can do it.
my max was 86 reps last time i "burned out".
But do not over work yourself!
I have a friend who weighs 140, and benches 195, and he is 5'3", i he hasnt grown since 6the th grade...
i think his intensity may have had something to do with his stunted growth?
He just keeps getting bigger, but no taller?O_o
anyway, hope i helped...
Sorry about the rambling...
