There is probably no "average" bench press max because of that fact that it varies greatly depending on the upperbody strength of the individual. However for males in highschool, especially athletes, benchpress maxes have been achieved at massive weights such as over 500 lbs ( Sam Harvill Shiloh Christian Academy- 520 lb bench as highshool junior). There are no statistics that cover the "average" benchpress due to the fact that not everyone has attempted to max out on the bench. As a junior football player in highschool, my benchpress max is 320 lbs and I am one of the strongest in my school. If you are benching over 300 lbs and in highschool, you are in good shape but there are few who have gone beyond what was once considered impossible.

Protein is best after a workout. Muscles rip during exercise and the rebuilding process is what makes them stronger. That's when you need the protein. Also, protein before a workout can cause digestive issues during that workout. ______________________________________________________________________ Answer:
Creatine actually causes your muscle cells to absorb more water which makes them look bigger which gives us an illusion of extra size and mass. Effectively speaking, once you cut down on your creatine intake, the muscles would start releasing the excess water and you may end up feeling your muscles shrink in size. But, one good thing about creatine is that, it helps you gain that extra strength needed to do heavy workouts. Though it only packs water into our muscles, a properly administered dosage/cycle of creatine can help you in gaining weight and strength.

How much weights should a teen lift?
Assuming that your skeleton is ready for the stresses of weight training (which usually occurs around age 16, in my opinion), you should concentrate on the fundamental exercises (namely, squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins) just like everyone else who is beginning a serious weight-training program.
It is very important to learn and use perfect exercise technique right from the beginning. Avoid dangerous exercises. Avoid using weights that are so heavy that you get 4 or fewer reps (until you get older, in my opinion). Do injury prevention exercises (such as L-flyes and side bends). Instead of letting your ego drive you into rushing your development, think of yourself as laying the foundation for a lifetime of productive training. Perhaps the best book to get you started correctly is Stuart McRobert's BUILD MUSCLE LOSE FAT LOOK GREAT.

Should you take whey protein every day?
Whey protein is better than other proteins because it has the highest Biological Value (BV) of any known protein. This means that the proportion of protein that is absorbed and incorporated into your body's proteins is higher from whey protein than from other protein sources.
Even though whey protein is the best kind, you can easily consume enough protein to meet your body's needs through other forms of protein, you just have to consume a bit more than you otherwise would if you were consuming whey protein.
Also, there is one very good reason why whey protein can be better than other protein sources. If you get un-denatured whey protein, it will substantially boost your intracellular glutathione. This is a very big deal.
In order to boost your glutathione production, you need raw protein. Some protein powders are denatured and some are un-denatued. You need an un-denaturedprotein. Think about it, where else can you get raw protein in your diet?
Protein is good for you
Does lifting heavy weights lead to poor posture?
Exercises that train your abdominals and back are very good for your posture.
- Latissimus Dorsi

Machinese that train those muscles are seated rows, or lateral pulldowns.

So there is no chance it will stunt your growth. If you are 14 years old, you should consult with a doctor to make sure.

What is the average bench press for a guy who weights 160 pounds?
How much a 140 lbs man is able to bench is dependent upon age, but at the peak of a man's strength, around 200lbs is an average-to-good bench. Stronger men who consistantly lift will increase this figure by about 50 lbs or more. 200% of a man's weight on bench is great (in this case, 280lbs.) Personally, I weigh 145 lbs and bench 260 lbs.
