I knew someone was going to try and compare that. He'd shatter his hamstring in the 40 too. Get him off the shit for a year and I'd bet money he would be average in that 225 in a combine.

Coleman off season was in the 310-320 range right? He probably never went above 10% BF.  Imagine him on an NFL offensive line. He'd be a brick wall.

The sad part is every time he starts discussing Combines he makes an ass out of himself with these ridiculous claims like the average high school athlete running a 4.6 forty.

And on top of that he has been going around the MMA board claiming to be some big shot on the California Athletic Commission....The delusions never stop with this guy.

You know damn good and well that Milos would smoke you in a 40 yard sprint.

And that is taking into account his bodybuilding lifestyle and you with all those useless "hops and bounces" you make all your "clients" perform.

It's like you have a list of X amount of excuses and every time Milos comes on here and asks you to meet with him, you find some possible way to not be able to go.

You can talk about whatever it is you would like.
Since you've been proven to repeatedly not show up, it's not like the subject will change whether you show up or not.
So, be it benching 225x72, running 40yds, or just getting you to walk into the Koleseum Gym with Milos there....the result will more than likely be the same- you won't do it.
Prove me wrong, please. :)

WikiAnswers says the NFL combine record is 51.  Most of the videos of football guys doing this on YouTube have pretty good ROM.  I'd suspect guys like Ronnie would put up similar numbers if forced to use full ROM.
