I have been going to the gym a couple of years and finally succeeded to be able to shoulder press my own body weight of 160 lbs. above my head. I did a web search to see if that was good and I stumbled across a video of a 15 or 16 year old kid pressing over 400 lbs. clean and jerk completely over his head. I was surprised a teenager is that strong. My wife said he could easily press me above his head since I’m less than half of the weight but I disagree because of the physics and technique involved in lifting a person and lifting a barbell are completely different. Could he actually press me above his head? Has anyone girl or guy been pressed above someone’s head? A teenager’s head? Are kids that strong these days?
Difference between lifting barbell and human?
