Well I'm just wondering what do you guys think my lifts should be?

I'm 15, 164 Lbs, Training for 4 months (I played baseball and soccer my whole life but only been lifting for 4 months). And I'm 5'10.

I'm wondering what do you guys think my 1 Rep Max should be for the following:

Bench Press:
Dead Lift:
Military Press:
Chin Ups:
Push Ups:

I'm not including squats because I do non weighted squats because of my knee.

Thanks bighump.

As long as your lifts are increasing thats all that matters. Theres no what your lifts "should" be its what they are. You can't compare you lifts to others because like bighump said there are many factors.

wala

the guys are right dude. rather than compare with other's lifts and how they look etc, concentrate on the fact that your are an INDIVIDUAL. your the only one of YOU! so you do what you think feels right.

but put it this way, your not far behind me and your only 15! and im 25!

Hey Striker, you are doing awesome and you know that!!
I saw one of your lifts last night---very cool, and for a 15 year old, it was very impressive!!
Ego lifting=injuries bud

Train smart.

progressive overload...nuff said.

Strive to lift more and more in good form...and you will grow and grow stronger.

Striker

Alright I guess I should just increase my lifts each week.

They should be just a little bit more (always)

if I compared my lifts to others at my weight (222 lbs), especially my bench press, I would have given up a long time ago. I kind of look at it like Golfing, I only try and beat myself (score) each time I go out, no matter who I am playing with. If you worry too much about beating someone, you never will.
