Bench press for football

Question

i'm in the 8th grade and i was wondering how much i should be able to bench press. i want to play either left tackle or linebacker.

Answer 1

300 lbs for a Varsity lineman.

Answer 2

LT should press 450 LB only 325 - get to the gym

Answer 3

realisticly it depends on who your going against, but i would say about 140 if you want to be a tackle a little less for linebacker, cuz i benched 145 2 years ago when i was 8 grade and i played qb and linebacker

Answer 4

to be a linebacker u should be doing 140 or more

but for varsity u should be doing like 200

even more

if ur really good 300

but most people dont get that much

u have to be commited

left tackles have to do a little more but a linebacker is a more important position
