Rep Power: 385 | | | Bicep curl and bench press are so completely different, that there's really no comparing numbers there.
I have a 16 year old student who bench presses 95 lbs while I have another that hits 330 for 3.

As for how much a 16yo can bench depends on how much they work on it. There are lots of high school football players benching 350 and 400 pounds, but they work hard at it and are relatively big.
