Is a crane's working load the maximum weight it is able to lift?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The maximum load that the crane can lift is 18 metric tons (39,690 pounds), but the crane cannot

lift that much weight if the load is positioned at the end of the jib. The closer the load is

positioned to the mast (center of rotation), the more weight the crane can lift safely.

How much should a 12 year old bench press?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bench pressing is based entirely on weight, height, and just how strong you are (which by doing workouts will make you stronger). Alot of people are going to throw up junk answers, saying that they can bench like 225 or even into the 300's at 12. Don't listen to them. People also say they bench like 125 to 135, which can be accurate for a 12 year old, but most of them are huge, which again goes back to the weight thing...

A healthy bench press would be to bench your own weight. That is the primary goal. Most 12 year olds can't do that. I'm 12, 5'2, and I weigh in at 85 lbs. I lift six days a week (bench press on 3 days) mostly because I'm a wrestler. I max out 95-100 but I can throw up 95 a good 2, maybe 3 times. I struggle alot with 100 though. Most of my friends can only get 60, maybe 65. I'd say of my usual group of friends, the only other guy benching near me, is my friend who maxes out at 85 or 90. Only he really works out though. He weighs 105. So I'd say I'm an above average lifter just because I can get 10-15 pounds up from my weight. An average 12 year old probably won't bench his weight from the get go, it'll take some working out, but if I had to guess an average, I'd say that 70-80 should be for those who weigh under a 100. Just my opinion though

What is an above average bench press?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are several factors. A persons body weight and age are a pretty good indicator. This is very general of course. To be a good bench presser its usually a matter of simple practice and technique.

However if you can rep your own weight you are most likely above average. If you can max out at 100lbs past your weight thats also a good indicator your pretty strong.

Ex: 175 body weight x 10

or 275 at one rep max.

How much should a 90 pound kid be able to jerk lift?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If your 90 pounds you should be benching 90 pounds, you should be able to bench your own weight

An age is typically useful, but 90 lbs. should be the goal (bench your own weight). My cousin is 12 (turning 13 next month) and he weighs 90 lbs, but bench presses 120. I'd say he is very strong for his age and weight but, yeah I'd say 90 lbs. is a good goal to reach.
