I’ve been trying to do this since I started two months ago. I weigh 165 and did 170 once. Just getting started :D

i weigh around 72 kg right now i can bench press 58 kilos. i have done weightlifting in the past and the highest i achieved was being able to bench 68 kg, im certain i can duplicate those results and push myself well beyond that in the next 4 months.
Working on pushups first

As a first step to this, I’m doing the Hundred Pushups challenge: See my blog entry and the Hundred Pushups site
That will be the foundation for the bench press goal.

I’m 15 years old, I weigh 154 lbs, I can bench press 236 lbs.
This of course is all thanks to OCD, I excorcise compolsivley for an hour a day 4 days a week and spend 6 hours on saturdays doing parkour training.
But a healthy diet of iron and protein mixed with other essential food groups is very very important.
Finally did it!!

Well, it took long enough!! Last night I felt good so I thought I’d give it a shot, even though it was supposed to be a “4 rep” workout.
Dumbbell Bench: 150 lbs (2 reps). I tried 160 lbs after that lift, but couldn’t manage.
Deadlift: 190 lbs + bar (this is now my favorite exercise!)
Pulldown: 162.5 lbs (not sure I’m bringing the bar down as far as I should)
Arnold Press: 90 lbs (45 lb + 45 lb, 3 reps)
Incline Crunches: 12 reps
Finally, I can focus on my “6-pack” goal and my running goal.

Trap Bar Deadlift: 230 lbs (trap bar sure makes things easier)
Smith Bench Press: 155 lbs (5 reps)
Arnold Press: 40 lbs (7 reps)
Pulldown: 145 lbs (8 reps, barely)
Leg lift: 12 reps
Next: 4 reps!

Continuing after a recovery period (kind of an accidental recovery—I was too busy to work out last week, but I’m glad I gave my neck some time to rest).
Deadlift: 205 lbs (Deadlift is kind of fun, though I’m still a little worried about the potential to destroy my spine!)
Arnold Press: 40 lbs
Dumbbell Bench: 130 lbs
Chinups: 7 reps
8 reps

I did a deadlift last week that strained my neck—I’m not sure how it happened, but I’m going to lay off of that exercise for a little bit.
Lunges: 130 lbs
Arnold Press: 40 lbs (failed on 8)
Smith Bench: 150 lbs (failed on 6)
Pulldown: 145 lbs (barely made it!)
Leg lift: 13 reps
