The last competition I went to see, lifting/strength events, a coworker of my husbands, his 16 year old son was entered. Still can't believe at 16 he was benching in the 300s, Sq in the 400s and dead lifting in the 5s. That's like crazy, and his dad said he's number three in the school, so two kids are lifting even more.
Anyway, he came in second, in the body weight benching contest. Get on the scale and whatever it reads is what you're benching. He did 27 Reps, and he was the only one entered under 18, the winner was like 30 and did 36 reps of his body weight.
Now he's at some Olympic training center, maybe we'll see him get a medal someday!
The parents got him a nutrition coach, stretching coach and a lifting coach. Three people helping him out, his lifting coach is a top female Pro heavyweight bodybuilder, sorry can't remember her name. But I do remember her Arms, they were bigger than my waist.
