i'ma 17 year old who is like 5 foot 4 inches at 150 punds (i'm fat). anyway i'm go 2 a gaym with a program (ie the trainer made me one) and at the moment i'm benching 400 pound. is that alot? i think its 400 pounds cause on the blocks its marked from 1 all the way to 10.

I think it's 40lbs bro, not 400lbs. If the "blocks" go all the way up to 10, you're probably referring to the weight stack on the machine that you're using to Bench Press.

Are you using a machine or the actual barbell?
