How much can an 18-year-old bench press?
Kids should not benchpress have him do pushups or something not weight lifting
Why can't a kid bench press? I coach Rugby League and some of the heavy lads struggled to do 3 or 4 press ups but they can perform light bench presses with a bar or dumbells and their press ups have also improved. Weight training when properly supervised is very good for kids.
Any amount you can do with out struggling and straining your muscles do less reps.
It would depend on how old the 'kid' is. Surely, a parent would not want their child benchpressing. But if that 'kid' is 16 or older, wouldn't it be something they could do?

Training causes muscle fibers to incur microscopic damage, leading to inflammation. The body responds by repairing and rebuilding these fibers, increasing their size and strength over time. This process is called muscle hypertrophy and is supported by proper nutrition and rest.
How much does Arnold Schwarzenegger leg press?
Well He could squat 405 for 10 or 12 reps in his prime. However having seen videos and pics of him squating it appears he does not break parallel on his squats. Leg press is a much easier exercise than the squat though seeign as you are not lifting but rather pushing a weight at a 45 degree angle. Perhaps he could leg press 2000lb for a rep max? Just a guess

I did 3 sets of 12 reps for two days straight will your biceps get bigger or just recover?
sur i would have to say that matters on your own type of body style if you worked out for a year then you will not get much bigger but the BIGGEST THING THAT MATTERS IS WHER YOUR BICEPS SORE OR NOT AND SINCE YOU COULD DO THEM 2 DAYS STRAIGHT I WOULD SAY NOT GOOD BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO ALTERNATE MUCLES DONT JUST DO ONE AND DO AT LEAST 15 SETS A DAY IF YOU HAVE TIME ABOUT 10 TO 12 REPS AND LIFT TO FAILURE WHICH MEANS UNTIL YOU CANT DO NO MORE OK I HOPE you learned something signed by

Is weightlifting is safe while having varicocele plzz help you?
An article search on PubMed reveals that "physical activity has to be considered as an aggravating factor in the natural history of varicocele" [1] In addition, there are multiple anecdotes on on-line forums of increased swelling and pain after weightlifting. Theoretically this makes sense, because increasing the intraabdominal pressure (this is called the Valsalva maneuver) during exercise will force blood out of the abdomen and into the lower pressure area of the testicles, causing a swelling of the venous system. Theoretically, if tight underwear is worn that increases pressure in the veins of the testicle, the swelling of the varicocele may be reduced.
