How much Weight in (kg) should a teen be able to bench press?

Mr Smooth asked:


I was just curious how much should a 16 – 17 year old with ok fitness level, should be able to bench press on average in kilograms? How many reps and sets does it include?

Also

My friend finds it slightly difficult when bench pressing 30kg, he does about 7 reps before he has to stop and have a break. He is of 16 turning 17. Is this ok? He had stopped all training for about 5 months and now has started back.

Any information is appreciated!

    as a rule of thumb

    an amatuer should be lift his own body weight

    you can consider yourself an intermediate lifter when you can bench 1.5 x your body weight

    an advanced lifter can bench 2x their body weight

    besides that it doesnt matter so long as its a weight challenging for you

    They say most men can bench press 10% more than they weigh .My husband has to go through physical training testing every so often and they test to see if he can bench this amount. Do not feel bad if you can not bench that right away. It is quite normal. Start out light so you do not tear any of your muscles.Your friend should only do as many reps as he feels he can do .He is doing it right by taking a break ,this will prevent over working .If he over works and tears he will have to rest for a while .Good Luck
