The NFL gauges strength on how many reps can be done with 225. Some guys do over 40 easy.

i believe Ronnie Coleman did 72 reps with 225 on bench. It was in a BB mag.

[getfitdoc]

i heard some nfl guy did 49 reps. I can't remember who.

[mistasmif]

I highly doubt that Ronnie Coleman did 225 lbs 72 times. LOL...Gimme a friggen break.

[70w30]

30 reps....

[Bimmer]

i know its over 40, and not so sure about ronnie. Its possible but comon.

[toobig24]

shit, i did it 47 times training for a scout camp

[getfitdoc]

adam archiletta(sp?) has the best combined 40 time and 225 bench.

he ran a 4.3 40 and benched 225 31 times, that's a fast strong mutha ****a

[Drveejay11]

no doubt

[Osiris of dis Shit]

Arnold could bench 225 for 60+ reps, so I have no doubts that Ronnie can bench 225 for 72 reps.

[fatmasterfat]

power lifters warm up with that weight. ONe PLer that I train with personally warms up with 135 for well over 100 reps.
225 i'm sure coleman could even do more than 72. Guys a strong mofo, ever watch the unbelievable. and yes i cant spell.

when he benches he brings it to the top and just drops the weight and catches it before it hits his chest.

phil farmer hit 315 for 49 reps and racked it. he had more left but stopped there. he does sets of 20 with 405. no spot. he als has a 655 raw bench to his credit. squats over 8 and pulls 8 raw as well. 605 raw for a set of 20 on squats too. no spot. world record holder PLer turned body builder. he has also done some strong man events.

Two of the best in NFL combines of some years ago were Bruce Clark and Ron Simmons.

I don't know how many reps is the most ever done but I was just thinking about the 225 bench yesterday watching the pro-bowl star challenge. I was wondering if anyone knew why the NFL uses 225 as a standard. I mean it doesn't really relate to football when someone benches 225 30+ times in a row. Most plays last 20-30 seconds if that football players train for immediate and explosive power.

I saw a replay of the NFL strongman comp you mentioned (how many 225 benches you could do in 30 secs). It was bogus since the guys weren't doing legit "FULL" reps. Most were quick 75% lifts at best. Granted they were strong guys, but those that did 30+ would likely have got 25 reps max if they only counted chest-to-full-lockout reps.

Dont tell me you do bench to ful lockout. You're supposed to stop just short of that.

one full rep is lockout, in competition it has to be locked out. During regular training sessions it is good to include what youv mentioned also.

Well... I'm sure the NFL record is way over 40.. I went Nike recruiting camp in highschool and there were a couple high schoolers who did 46, and 41, 39.. And they are pretty strict..

[Trucker111]

Wait nm.. forget that, I think we all used 185.. but im not positive, there might ahve been a choice.

[deadbeatrec]

i have hit 225 for 22 reps b4. not very impressive on here but i was impressed.

[apollojay]
