Young Men Bench Press Records
Verified bench press marks for 13- and 14-year-old males in official federations, with notes on weight classes and raw lifts.
- AAU lists 303 lbs as the top raw single-lift record for 13-year-olds in the 220 lb bodyweight class.
- In the 150 lb class the AAU 13-year-old record stands at 205 lbs.
- A 225 lb bench at 150 lbs bodyweight exceeds the listed AAU mark for that class.
- 14-year-old claims reach 353 lbs in heavier classes under WPC rules.
Powerlifting federations track bench press records separately by age, weight class, and equipment rules, so no single world record exists for teenage lifters. The figures below come from published AAU Teen records and other documented claims.
13-year-old raw records
The highest officially documented raw bench press for a 13-year-old male is 303 lbs by Nate Carlin in the AAU 100 kg class. Other verified AAU marks include 231.5 lbs by Antonio Santillan and 205 lbs by Bradley Kozlow in the 67.5 kg class.
| Lifter | Age | Bench | Federation / Class | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nate Carlin | 13 | 303 lbs | AAU 100 kg | Highest AAU single-lift record |
| Sa’Vion Brown | 13 | 275 lbs | Seeking recognition | 2024 gym lift |
| Evan Poe | 13 | 245 lbs | U13 claim | Social media |
| Sean McCall | 13 | 225 lbs | WRPF | 2021 reported lift |
| Bradley Kozlow | 13 | 205 lbs | AAU 67.5 kg | Class world record |
150 lb bodyweight class
For the 67.5 kg class the AAU 13-year-old single-lift record is 205 lbs by Bradley Kozlow. The full-power record in the same class is 198 lbs. A 225 lb bench at this bodyweight exceeds those listed marks.
14-year-old records
Records shift into the Teen 14–15 division. Joe Middleton holds a 353 lb WPC claim. In the AAU 14–15 category, lifts in the 67.5–75 kg range typically fall between 220 and 280 lbs depending on the exact class.
- All listed lifts are raw unless noted.
- Heavier bodyweight classes allow higher absolute numbers.
- Many strong gym lifts never reach official federation records.
