That's quite huge. In all my time at the gym, I've never seen anyone bench more than 120kg, and I've only seen someone bench 120 maybe once or twice. I can only do about 65 myself, lol.
That's big. Also depends how big (height, weight) he is. I've seen big guys lift 80+ as total newbs.

Yes and no . It really depends on how long hes been training for and how dedicated he is .
Im pretty sure a lot of dedicated 17 year olds who have been training for years could do that if they put their minds to it .

That is a lot of weight, on the internet everyone can bench 4 plates for reps but IRL seeing someone push 130 is very impressive indeed esp at 17

Seen a guy in my gym bench 240kg IRL. Damn impressive, touches bar to chest as well. He does 230kg for reps. A 200kg+ bench is so damn impressive . Humans should not be able to lift that kind of weight

Ah yes, forgot about 'normal' sized plates rather than bumper plates.
