found this gem on another forum, where apparently it is being believed.
"Heres the confirmed bench press
A.I. - 167 / max 215
Steve Nash - 152/ max 207
Tony Parker - 146 / 202
Kobe - 262 / max 312
Dirk - 212 / max 281
Here's one you might not expect:
Earl Boykins - 315 max
Kevin Durant - only 185
Shaq - 400 max
Wilt - 475 / max 525!!

Shaq hitting 400 might be a little bit of a stretch... ::)
-
I think I'll take a shit...brb
-
Right. Ok, then I max 675.
I'd love to see those guys in the gym try to do that.

Wilt the stilt... full of shit.
Taco O'Neal (thanks Beach! 8))... questionable.
Just to benchmark those numbers:
In the Swedish Basketball League, one of the best benchpressers is a 5' 10'' backup guard who has a 300 lbs benchpress and some 30 dips and 20 chins if I remember correctly.
-
What about Ben Wallace?
-
You weasles act like 400 lbs is alot of weight especially for someone who is 7'1 and 330+.
Jealousy is a bitch.

Shaq's is believable, but c'mon... Kobe can't touch anywhere near 3 plates. He's scrawny as shit.

Yep, and with that 7'1 height comes an arm span of 50 inches......get serious, no one with arms as long as hummer could bench 400#. Arnold's max bench was 540, so you're saying Wilt has hit what Anrold has, and Shaq can hit 400??????- the BS meter is runnning on overtime.
-
kevin durant 185, bet i could get him to 190 in 6 months no problem

Arnold couldn't bench 540 with 4 spotters and bullshit on the Shaq and especially the Wilt Chamberlain claims.
-
I like to think the Stilt was full of shit on most of his outrageous claims.
-
I don't believe Dirks and Chamberlains BP numbers. Dirk moves very well for a guy his height, but he's never been a great athlete. Chamberlain was a great athlete for his days, but 525 is a little too much. Having long arms like Wilt and Dirk makes it hard having a good bench, too. Just look at Durant...
I believe Kobes, Shaqs and Earl Boykins numbers. Kobe is a great jump & run athelete, so he might be strong, too. Shaq, in his early days, was faster and stronger than most Centers.
-

Aside from pushing off the fat white bitches you bang, when else have you pressed 400+?
-
Wilt - liar.
I believe Kobe. He gets fouled 50 times a night and always jumps right up. And he can still sink a jumper from 25 feet without making it look efforted. He's made of tendon.
-
AHHAHAHAAHHAAH!!! Shaq....oh brother. Of course, cause tall equals strong.
-
I bet earl boykins (5'5") can outbench kobe...he's a strong little dude
long arms = shitty bench

You mean that claim of Wilt slamming 10,000 women might be exagerated??
I am schocked, SHOCKED I tell you!
-
Remember these are maxed brutal form+assisted

it was actually 20,000 women that he claimed to have had sex with. ::)

Hi Shaq
-
Kobe went on a crazy weight training routine a couple years ago, I could see him benching 3 plates.

-
Flex did an interview with Wilt? ::)
-
there is no way that Wilt was puting up 475.
-

It's not a lot for someone 330+.
But someone with ape long arms like Shaq?
Fcuk yeah.

hedge, this claims should be taken with a grain of salt.
given what passes for a bench press these days I have no doubts that shaq can do press 405 for a single or two.
you have to factor in what range of motion, spotter, smith machine...

if there is one thing most athletes lie about is their benchpress, c'mon, Shaq is full of shits . back in the 90's David robinson claimed he bench 315lbs for 8 and it's believable for a big man like him, Karl malone claimed a 375lbs for a couple reps, and Dennis rodman claimed a near 405lbs. all these guys had a pretty good physique to show for.

bullshit on all of those, no fuccking way on earth that Rodman benched 405 and absolute bullshit on the other two claims.
-
Arnold had long arms and found it hard to Bench heavy so i doubt these guys could lift heavy.
-

well, some of them are believeable, Karl malone was a beast, at 6'10 275lbs, and he was very muscular too. I believe his claims, the others might be questionable
-
Jordan once claimed 300 for 10 in Total Sport magazine

shaq's is legit. D-Howard has a max of 375lbs and yao ming has a max of 350lbs. Shaq is bigger than Ming and has been around longer than howard. Ming is by far the most unbelieveable i know, but it's been confirmed by players and trainers. Him and D-Howard have a 'competition' seeing that both are the heir apparant to next best centre, neither one wants to be out lifted or out worked by the other.
I think all are legit, except wilts. I don't think the weight training in hsi time was serious enough for them to even care about doing bench press often enough, to build major strength. Make no mistake though wilt was an athlete of out of this world proportions. It's confirmed by Lew Alcindor (kareem) that he could jump and touch the very top of the back board in his early playing days.

What about Ben Wallace?
I worked with an old man who wanted to fight me when I laughed at him when he told me Ben curls 315 for sets of 10 after every game and practice....lol, I said "do you actually know how much 315 is"? and he said yes that's why it's so cool and I laughed even harder.

see it's people like that guy that skew things, what a tool. there is no way ben wallace curls 315, it's more likely he curls 135 or so.

I remember hearing several times while watchin spurs on TV that this Beast avery johnson benched 500 lbs ::)

Ok this is excluding Wlits claim...hes a compulsive bullsh*tter.......
A professional athlete trainer once made a good point to me. I said all these claims of Tiger woods benching 300lbs etc..is total bs. He said........
"Tiger is one of the hardest training athletes you will ever meet, i know his trainer also. If you were being paided 7 figures a year to perform and the better you perform, the more money you make....what would YOU do? These guys have superior genetics in the first place, which is why they are the best....and they also have superior trainers, drugs, their food prepared for them day in and out, are pampered, and can rest all day because they dont have to work like us."
Then he said "if you had all of those options...would you be alot better than you are now?" My answer was obviously....he11 yes!

drugs,
I guess its believable when you think about it let it be bowflex or free weights and yeah ALL DRUGS!

karl malone was probably pretty strong.
Rodney rodgers? anyone remember him? he was a huge guy.
mugsy bogues as well. only 5-3, but jacked, and short arms and explosive black power =big bench press.
