I think you're just full of chit.

You got a youtube link in your sig cant you just post a video of it?
 
really? its not that hard... and 225X44 for a record in the NFL. you must have red some incorrect information cuz thats just pathetic
Yeah, let's see a video. So what is your max? The combine stats are listed below. So according to you, all of these guys are pathetic :roflmao:

INDIANAPOLIS – When the big fellas hit the bench, it’s one of the best shows of the combine. And Arkansas OL Mitch Petrus put on the biggest show Friday, tying a 225 combine record (since 2000) with 45 repetitions.
Petrus put up the most by an offensive linemen and tied the overall combine record (both since 2000) with his performance, which was on par with Ohio State DE Mike Kudla (2006) and UTEP DT Leif Larsen (2000).
The rest of the top five included Oklahoma State’s Russell Okung (38), Notre Dame’s Eric Olsen (35), UNLV’s Joe Hawley (35) and Maryland’s Bruce Campbell (34). In all, nine linemen put up more than 30 repetitions, and four others topped out at 29.
Three players didn’t participate in the bench press because of injuries: Florida’s Maurkice Pouncy, Alabama’s Mike Johnson and Ole Miss’ John Jerry.

1-5, I am extremely weak with pressing, have horrible leverages for it, and generally do not work hard to improve it.
 
i tihnk ur just jealous cuz u fall under the 1-2 rep of own bodyweight range



Shit I can get 10+



And Mitch Petrus. Holding it down for the Razorbacks! Whoop Whoop

Im not saying they are bad, they are bad for professional football players.. strength is a big part and the linemen should be putting around 75.. im 19 and i no i can around 30 of 225..i knew if i was 25+ YEARS OLD like all these records above id easily be pushing 225 50+.

And yes I shuld post a youtube video of how many times i can do my bodyweight..the only thing is i workout alone, and the only time i have a camera is if i workout with my friend who has an iphone who deosnt even go to the same gym lol By ill try n get one up asap
 
First it was 40+

Now it's 30. And he can't prop a camera up somewhere to record himself.

Pushing weight for that many reps is more about endurance then peak strength. Power lifters who do 800lbs 1 RM's probably couldn't hit those high reps because their bodies energy systems aren't primed for volume.

Andy Bolton who can dead lift over 1,000lbs can only hit 405 like 27x's and that's because his body is good at moving massive weight once, he lacks the muscle endurance for voluminous repping.

The 225 bench press for volume is more so a handed down tradition of measuring strength, but its far from anything scientific. At this age of kinesiology, that 225 combine measurement ought to be changed. The high jump and 40 time makes sense, T-tests makes sense, cleans make sense, but how many times you can press 225 is an arbitrary tradition.

We would all appreciate it if you posted some videos of you repping 225lbs for 30+ reps. That would be a good feat for someone 19 years old. Until then STFU!
 
Im 13 and have only been training for a year and i can press 225 for 100 reps is that good lol
 
I think the general rule of this thread should be "vid or it didn't happen".

In a shocking abuse of power, anybody who boasts from this point forward without a posting video will be suspended.

It's more entertaining if people post videos, or it will at least put a stop to these boring pissing contests.

Go!

Gaz -- the anti-broski vigilante, ridding the world of moronic weight lifting bullshit one GOD DAMN preacher curl at a time.

So are you saying there is a difference between e-lifts and actual iron? :thinking:

Except for the people that actually aren't lying. i.e the people who voted 10 - 20. and Prince:)
 
Actually, I am kind of curious as to the relationship between 1RM, body weight reps, and various other amounts.

I hit 300 lbs last Saturday, and might have been able to get 310. This was one lift.

I can lift 245 x 12.

I can do 225 X 15.

I can do my bodyweight of 185 X 23. But I can also do 155 X 23. Same number of reps when I tried it.

It seems strange to me that a drop of 20 pounds (245 to 225) gives me only 3 more reps when a drop of 40 (225 to 185) gave me 8 more reps. Or that a 30 pound drop (from 185 to 155) did not increase my reps. I know my state of mind was a factor, but I would have guessed I could put up 30 reps at 155.

As an added conundrum, I went back to dumbbells yesterday for the first time since September, and I couldn't finish my normal 10 sets of 85 lb X 10 with 60 seconds between sets. Heck I couldn't finish 8 full sets of 10. But I am much stronger now than I was in September.

The simple explanation is that it's not a linear relationship. There is a lot more going on than most people realize in terms of energy systems. Doing a 1rm or a 3rm is going to utilize a totally energy system than doing 10 or 12, and doing 20-25 is going to fatigue you through different mechanisms again.

The complicated explanation is more...well, complicated.

The low reps (1-3) probably mainly uses the ATP/Phospho-Creatine system, and doesn't really use a lot of substrate like glucose because it doesn't need to and barely has the time to. If you always train low reps, this system will be trained to be more efficient.

10-12 reps will likely mainly use glycolysis, and because it's anaerobic it'll produce a shedload of H+ ions pretty quickly, but in this rep range you're probably going to stop just as they reach painful enough concentrations and have time to buffer them between sets.

In the super high rep ranges like 20-40, its still glycolysis for the most part, but maybe it shifts a little towards aerobic metabolism near the end. The main problem is those H+ ions, which aren't a linear relationship either. As more H+ is formed from ATP hydrolysis, more and more muscle tissue is going to get denatured because of the drop in pH, so the remaining muscle is going to work harder, creating more H+ and so on and so on. The weight your muscles are able to lift and the point at which they can't lift ANYTHING anymore don't necessarily have to match up.

Basically, if you never train at one of those specific rep ranges, you aren't prepared for it at physiological level. The more you train at those rep ranges, the more efficient you'll be due to higher expression of the required enzymes or better substrate storage.

If a sprinter can run 100m in 10 seconds it doesn't mean he can run 800m in 1:40 or the 1500m in 2:30. The 800m is technically possible but unlikely, and the 1500m is just not a possible time. The reason for this is the same - they are totally different in terms of training, energy systems, and physiology.

People would never assume the same sort of illogical shit about other sports as they do about weight training.

So yeah. This turned into a bit of an essay.
 
Im very light at the mo at about 16s so prob around 20-25reps.
