hey fellas, i remember a few years back that tiger said he could bench 300... does anybody remember this claim? and if yes, what you think about it? do you buy it?
-
all drugs
-
he couldnt roll it.
-
Long as he plays the way he plays it doesn't matter how much he can bench.
-
all hype.
-
all hype.
;D
-
ive never seen tiger woods play golf ever.
and im proud of that.
-
who's this "Tiger" fellow you speak of?
-
I'd have to consider the source.

Well you shouldn't be, even if you don't like Golf, he is AMAZING to watch, he is the best ever in his chosen sport, guys like him come along once in a lifetime, next time he is on tv take a look, you may be surprised.
Also the first billionaire athlete, and I guarantee he can bench 300, 300 is nothing, most people can bench 300 by 16 years old, unless you workout like a pussy. Woods is known for legendary workouts.
-
He did it on an old school Nautilus machine.
It's the Black half of him that makes him so strong.

Is golf really a sport though? Can you call John Daley an "athlete" then?
-
why does everyone care about the strength claims so much?
-
i believe it. dude is super motivated and works out every day.

It's clearly a sport, not like basketball, football or soccer, but it is a sport. Daly is a talented guy, just chooses to live like a sloth. If he took his talent and trained and dieted properly, he would be in the top 5 in the world.
The problem is a guy like Daly, still makes millions even though he dosen't play at that well anymore, if the average golfer made shitty money, then a guy like Daly would work harder.
Why work really hard, when you can live like a slob and still make millions? would you......most wouldn't.
-
It doesn't matter, he'll never do anything on the tour anyways. He's the King Kamali of golf. ::)

How do you figure?

woods is my golf idol..i have the sasquatch bag,, sasquatch driver, nike golf shoes, nike golf hat...nike rain gear... i dont have nike irons, wedges, or putter, and i dont use nike balls. but thats only because i take golf pretty seriously and im not going to use shitty equipment just because tiger does. but the sasquatch series is all pretty top of the line.
any other golfers here on getbig? handicapps? i used to play to a 10 handicap back in 7th grade..now im probably like an 18 or 20 handicap.

I've tried to watch golf on tv, but it is as boring as watching flies fuck.

Because it's the Asian half that makes him so solid around the greens.
-

Not true - they've got some of the *best* announcers out of all sports. I think it helps if viewers like the game, though.
-

haha tru dat!
every asian i ever played with9that was half way decent) was a fucking stick, man. hitting the majority of fairways, gir, and rarely three putting.

To help clear things up about this speculation. 1. He probably could. 2. He wouldn't sacrifice his $100mil per shoulders to try it. You don't do pressing (heavy, if at all) pressing movements when training golfers, especially Tiger Woods!

i have a tee time on Saturday yeah!!! ;D
-
i have a tee time on Saturday yeah!!! ;D
I'm back to playing twice per week. I workout twice a week and play golf once or twice per week and go to the driving range in between.

Couple years ago before a major they showed Tiger training. I caught the whole segment it was about 3 mins long. They showed him on an elliptical, doing smith squats and yes on the bench. During the whole segment they framed it so you never saw the actual weights just his face and torso. He was not as muscular as men from other sports but for a golfer I was a little impressed. At the end the interviewer asked him if he was worried the weights would hamper his swing? He said something like the weights are the big reason hes stayed injury free.
-

Oh, I have no doubt about that, but IMO no trainer in his right mind would have a high dollar tour player do anything with a straight bar or smith for upperbody pressing movements. Not doubting you, but hopefully his protocol has changed since then. Weights are the primary reason to help keep injury free.

10 handicap in 7th grade is pretty impressive! I used to play a lot. I had my handicap down to a 6.7 in high school, but bodybuilding and other stuff has become more important since. My brother is actually trying to make it as a pro. He is going to Q-school next summer. He is sponsored by the same guys that got Rich Beem's career started.

Yep. I play to a 5 or 6 in the peak months. Its a pain in the ass to try to play sore after working out though.

I have worked out for about 30 years, and only put up 300 once...it was a bit over that, but not much.
However, strangely, I was able to put up more weight on the incline becnh than flat bench, and , for most, inclines are more difficult.
And I have been called a lot of things, but 'pussy' ain't one of them.
Nothing against Tiger...he's the best. But I personally feel golf is a waste of real estate.

i seriously doubt it! anyone who can press a legit 300 is a pretty strong mo'fucker! i'm talking about a full range rep with no bounce or bridge. and some of you fellas really consider golf a sport??? bahahahahaha!!!! come on now, sport's usually involve some kind of injury risk, when would you get injured playing golf???? maybe getting picked-off by a golf cart 8)

Mmmmm, I see you're not too well versed on sports injuries. Lets start with wrist, hip, lower and upper back and neck injuries not to mention possible injuries to the abdominal wall. Go and swing a golf club about 300 times in 4 hour period then come see me.
Know what you're talking about before you post crap like this.....thanks for coming, don't forget to tip your waiter on the way out!!

i see.... so are darts and billiards sports too??? and you're trying to tell me that golfers are in the same league as baseball, basketball, football players when it comes to the potential for injury? give me a fucking break!!! oh... and by the way, i played basketball in high school and for 2 years at community college, so i know something about sports injuries as seeing that i've had 2 knee surgeries from playing hoops

LOL....so wait, you're comparing darts and billiards to golf? When can throw a dart or hit a billiard ball 180mph then you might be on to something. Yes, although not to the extent, Tour players have injuries, all of the one's I described and a couple I forgot, like rotator cuff injuries (tears, irritations, etc).
As most know on here, I train pro athletes for a living, have for along time. If I didn't know what I was talking about they wouldn't come to me. Just because you've have a surgery doesn't mean you know what you are talking about. What kind of injury was it?
-
you guys are missing the point...Tiger Woods has one of the biggest Ego's in all the sports world...M. Jordan is one of his best friends...These guys gamble on almost everything they do even ping pong games...With that much ego, there is no doubt that if Jordan or Barkley bet tiger on a bench press, he would know doubt try it(if he knew that he could of course)...
It doesn't take a genius to realise how Tiger used to play the game...The guy would take full out hacks in 3 feet of straw grass that would break other peoples wrists...He is a gambler true and true...And there is no doubt that he would put his body on the line for a simple bench press...
-

You actually think if he was to put his body on the line for a bet his sponsers wouldn't think twice about dropping his ass. It's one thing to bet on trivial things, but quite another to bet on your career. I guaranty he's not stupid like that.

Oh look, this freak is winning AGAIN!!

dislocated my kneecap, and had 2 surgeries. 1st time was a scope and he flushed out 3 little chips of cartilage, what he called "joint mice" and he also gave me a "lateral release". i popped it out again shortly after my rehab and this time he cut the kneecap tendon? in half and tied it back together and with that he said, "if you don't quit playing ball, you'll most likely be back for another surgery" so, i gave up the hoop :'(

300 is nothing "most" people bench that by 16!!! ::) You must wo ::) out at onlyme's gym, as 300lb is a lot of weight and id say less that 0.1% of 16 year olds can do it
-

I must of went to the wrong Highschool, no 300 benches there not even 225.
Tiger can hit the ball 350 yards with his swing that goes 180degrees, he be an idiot to put to much muscle on his frame,he definately has the best physique in world golf so i say he works out but 300 is a huge strech.
-
its not like hes claiming 400 or even 350, 300 bench is pretty obtainable by anybody that works out as long as he has...
-
Yes 300 is very attainable but it is NOT done by MOST 16 year olds!!!
-
come on guys if youve been working out for more than 2 or 3 yrs and your not benching 300 its time to reevaluate your workouts. seriously if your not benching 300 and youve been working out for a few yrs you need to quit either that or get real good with the line "I dont really wanna get big, just tone up"

DJ it sounds like youve never played golf before I suggest you go to a driving range and hit for an hour or so and find out how hard it is not only to hit the ball in the air but also to get it to go where you want it to. Golf is not only one of the most technical sports as far as skills go but also one that requires alot of intelligence. I would be willing to be that tigers iq is pretty high. and by the way everyone played sports in high school, and community college lol

i used to play a bit of golf when i was 13-15 and i agree it takes lots o skill, no doubt about dat! and i also agree with you dat golfers have a higher level of intelligence than other sportsmen. yeah i played hoop, but i was much better at middle distance running, in fact i ran the 800 meters, or half-mile in under 2 minutes when i was 17 8) and speaking of iqs i remember reading somewheres that middle and long distance runners are the most intelligent of all sportsmen ;D

Where are all these 16 year old 300lb benchers then?

Don't be silly Coach...Tiger Woods could get in an auto accident tomorrow and become a quadriplegic and he wouldn't be dropped by one of his sponsers...Your talking about Tiger freaking Woods...Jordan isn't even in Tiger's league(Tiger is known thru out the world---Jordan is not) and Jordan can sell any product he desires...
Bottom line, Tiger could quite golf today and sponsers would line up to get a piece of him...

Getting into an accident I'm quite sure would unintentional, bench pressing of your own free will knowing the risks is a whole other ballgame!
-
I agree with you coach but i see his point as well, its freaking tiger woods man. No matter what he does hes gonna have people there wanting to sponser his ass

your right I remember when we were younger I would come over your garage and you were benching 315lbs for reps back then I could only do 300 for reps even though I maxed out for 326.9lbs.
