  1. How big are you?  Typically, fullbacks are slightly larger then runningbacks.  If you think you're considered big for your age, then sure.  You'll get stronger as long as you keep lifting.  At 15, you'll be able to pack on muscle pretty ease.  So, in order to answer the question, might need to know 1) how much you weigh, and 2) how tall you are.


  2. That is amazing for your age.

    but i have to warn you, dont lift too much untill you are completely out of puberty or you will regret it 100% just ask my dad lol

    But It also depends on your size though.

    Good Luck and give 110% out there

  3. Your bench is horrible, but your squat and deadlift are respectable. Good news is at fullback you would mostly use your legs. I can't tell you if you can or can't be a fullback. I don't know if you have ever played football, 40 time, height, weight etc. If you are at least 5'10 200lbs and run under a 4.9 second 40 then I don't see why you couldn't be a good fullback.

  4. It all depends on your body type. I'd say for any 15 year old to be doing a 365 squat is pretty good.

    Work on your bench, and work your core... when you strengthen up your core it will help with the rest of the powerlifting exersizes.  

  5. yes thats good

    well depending on how much you weight but those are good  

  6. Yeah, your bench needs to be a little more proportionate to the rest of your body, but what I really want to know is how you could possibly lift less in your dead lift than in your squat. I would try to get your grip stronger because you will need it for Fullback.  

  7. your 15 and gonna be a junior? sheesh, i am 16 and i'm gonna be a sophmore. i guess those arent bad but than again, i'm a lineman so i'm supposed to do way more, but we have no idea, we cant really base it off of a few weight lifts.

  8. ya you'll be fine your bench is kinda off but besides that your legs seem pretty strong. your bench might be low cuz your technique is bad talk to one of your coaches and ask them to watch you to see if your doing everything right

  9. every thing is good. but u need to work on your bench. im 15 and bench 235 , squat 315 and im a WR

  10. All that doesn't tell me much. You need to lift to get stronger but 2 people comparing what they can lift doesn't tell who is the better football player.  Some of the most important things needed to be a good football player.  Quickness off the ball.  A mean streak. The ability to play with a low center of gravity.  Hitting hard, as well as wrapping up when you tackle.  As a fullback, your legs are more important than your arms. The amount you can lift means more when you compare it to your size.

  11. no, u dont weigh enough, not enough leg strength, but with that speed added to the other stuff u r perfect for tight end.
