Thanks for all the nice comments that made my day, I didn't even know someone posted this. I lifted 155 at this competition, I know I didn't hold at the bottom but I was nervous. I weigh 145 and I'm 5"8.

Why would anyone be negative on this video? Strong, clean lift. Great work!

I love how people are trashing this, I know guys who cant do this, chances are this girl is natural, and especially for a natural 16 year old girl, this is very impressive, Interestingly enough all these guys who can bench over 200 supposedly, don't have a single video proving it. Those who can bench over 200, realize how hard this really is.

Great form all the way down and up and very smooth, im impressed.

It matters in the sense that before you grow in strength you grow in height. That's how puberty in teenagers works. you hit your height spurt before your body fills out and your muscles fully develop

Google Cherraine Davis shot put. She was a New England Championship Shot put winner 3 consecutive times and benched over 300lbs. She was insane in the weight room benching 100lbs more than the guy throwers.

@MRGOLDFINGER19
When you are competing in powerlifting you get 3 lifts and the highest weight that is completed is the weight they use. You don't pump out high reps or even more than 1 rep of the same weight for that matter when you are competing.

@subbasslines "drop your weight do more reps you struggled at halfway"

You should spend a full weekend at powerlifting meets telling that to every lifter after all their attempts.

Very nice. I'm 5'8, 180, bench 250lb. You'll kick my ass the way you are headed! A lot of guys at my gym (and no woman of any age I've ever seen) can't do that. Average female set at my gym is 65-80lbs x a few reps. Some just the bar.

I was so close to hating on this since 160lbs for a powerlifting competition is nothing than I saw it was a girl. Now I am really impressed

[GaviRG]

Aha nice I finnaly found a girl who can do a rep right (:

[secutorclaudius]

my sister (she's a big girl) does 10 rep curls with 30's, never benched though, just machines. i wonder how much she'd do if she tries and gets the form right.

[pureforce]

Nice bench..no shirt, no ultra wide grip with her back arched..nice full range...good strength

You'd be surprised. For one, the 160 pound record must be in the teen division, as the USAPL record for Women's raw bench in Michigan is 231.5 pounds for the 143 pound weight class. But, typically, state records are pretty shit anyways, especially when there are tons of different federations, each with a different record.

@Rose3620 Certainly not! And did you ever think 50, 000 people would want to watch you do a Bench Press? You Rock!!!

[QoVoCGaming]

right now i rep 12 with 145 pounds with full range of motion. Im 16 years old. is that any good? i get alot of crap for it, and i feel bad because people my age lift twice as much.

@AndyHarglesis
It takes years but can be done, 300 bench is heavy for msot bodybuilders but 300 squats are like a warm up.

[MicFrosty]

@haj890 i play soccer and ive benched 330 squatted 430 and deadlifted 425 soo i really dont think theres a correlation to soccer players being weak. either way soccer is the sport of the planet so football players really need to give up on hating on it.

[rocky]

you're the same girl who holds a record for the deadlift?? you hold a record in the bench too? great man..

[BIGDADDYJOHNSON]

looks like 185 on the bar, and if so thats damn impressive for a 16 year old girl
