Am I Strong?

I don’t think the average 16 year old I gonna bench 275, deadlift 475, and squat 365. I maybe wrong, but I don’t think any 16 year old had elite numbers, unless they are on some steroids

I’m fifteen years old, and I bench 240 (paused) squat 320, and I’ve deadlifted 360 multiple months ago. All lifts were done at around the 156-160 pound bodyweight. You are definitely strong for your age, go get even stronger.

I wish you the best of luck,

I didnt realize you were that young.

You are asking the wrong questions, you should be asking yourself “Am i working hard enough?” “Have I done everything I could have done to get better?”

As far as I know I don’t advertise it. I only really mention it if it’s relevant. I’m also not the type of person to go around saying, “Hey, I lift Y with no knee wraps, or belt at X weight, and at Z age.” and constantly talk about how I am natural.

He got pissed when they did a 1000 lb club at our gym because people weren’t lifting with form, and just about everyone in the gym was talking shit about how strong they were to be able to crack 1000. The best lift was 1250. He did the 1000 lb club with his bench press and deadlift only while a lot of the other guys just stood there horrified. He went 0/475/650 belted.

Dear lawd.

The best disses are when you don’t even need words. Just action and truth.

csulli, you know your shit, I know that, don’t know about to maney other’s, but 1100lb raw total at 16, is freakish. he’s a big kid, so that helps, but in 20yrs of strength coaching HS age athletes I’ve only seen this twice. One of them went on to wrestle for team Canada. OP’s on track with proper workouts to have a 1500lb total at 18, thats elite.

Everyone on this websight left HS with an Elite total I guess, it starts to wear me down all the bullsht. Csulli, I’ll bet you nobody on this post, besides you and me-benches 300–squats400–deadlifts500, raw, and drug free, and if there is possibly someone that can manage this, do you think they were doing it in highschool. Why bash this kid.

OP your strong, yes, but you need to find a proper lifting coach, and do somthing with it. I do this for a living, and at your age with proper training, gains of 20% a year are possible, you need to milk this, because you have the chance with work to be great at somthing. Tune out negative people, they’re everywhere, claiming to be great on the internet. Goodluck[/quote]

:frowning: I Bench 300+, Squat 400+, and Deadlift 500+ raw… But I use drugs so I lose… Damnit * hangs head in shame*[/quote]

Drugs? What are these drugs you speak of? I think I need some.

Probably not but makes you really strong for about 20 seconds… Which I guess means your recruiting extra muscle fibers meaning a bigger potential in muscle gains… So never mind yes Meth and Cocaine when done correctly will make you a freak.

Your Wilks score is about 320, which is an okay score for your average powerlifter, but it’s a pretty impressive score for a sub-junior. My last year of highschool I went to provincials, and 320 would’ve put you in the top 25% of lifters there.

I never understood wilks scoring. I just go off of whatever your lifter classification is.

Maybe the reason for its existence? I dunno, all three of us are around the same weight, and we’re far enough on the light side that we should be Wilks fans lol. It’s usually the great big dudes who don’t care for Wilks.

I remember my dad was in the Marine Corps with this massive dude who was way stronger than everyone else. But they had some kind of strength test where they posted Wilks scores, and all these super lightweight recruits beat him on coefficient. He got super pissed and ripped it down and said “Fuck the Wilks score; I have the highest ass kicking score!”

Odd, because you need much less #4# strength to score well on Wilks if you’re heavier.

For example, if you weigh 100 lbs and total 1000, your total is 10x body weight and your Wilks score is 518. If you weigh 200 lbs and total 2000, your total is also 10x body weight, but your Wilks score is 576. If you’re 300lbs and total 3000, same deal, but once again you have a much higher Wilks score (764!). If you weigh 300 lbs, you only need to total 2050 (6.8 x bodyweight) to beat the 100lb superstar in Wilks (522).

Your buddy must have had really shit #4# strength if he lost out to a bunch of lightweights despite this.

Meh, maybe it was a different scale and not Wilks then. I just thought it was funny. Also he wasn’t my buddy LOL! He is some nameless guy my dad told me about from like 20 years ago. I hope you have at least a slightly higher standard for what constitutes a buddy hahaha!

That’s why I said “fuck it” and threw on 40 lbs. My #4# strength is slightly lower, but my Wilks score is much, much higher.
