Title: Benching 225 40 times? How?
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on April 28, 2009, 09:12:43 AM
I'm pretty strong on the bench but I don't get how these college players put up 225 40 times.  Shit I'd get tired just moving an empty bar 40 times on the bench.  I don't think I've ever repped any weight 40 times, shit most the of times over the last dozen years I don't think I ever went past 15 reps, unless you count 21's on the bicep curl.

have you ever seen any video of these lifts?  let's just say the form they use is very "loose"

Those guys train for that specific combine test. Most gym rats rarely if ever throw 225 on the bar and just rep out. These kids though train for this specificlly just to get a good result at the combine. I'm sure if you trained for it, you could do the same. The combine guys should really up the weight though, maybe 255-265 for reps. ThosE guys pumping out 35-40 reps at 225, would be a lot less IMO.

I am no NFL star but have done a 225 bench for 26 reps with rapid reps.

Yeah i think they should up it to 315 for lineman. They do train specifically for this plus there form is all bounce and half reps. Techinically they aren't supposed to do this, but if you see any of the videos they all do it.

15 continuous reps is all you need. Keep 3-5 sec rest between every rep, boom, 40 reps. But I don't know if this is allowed in those football tests.

after my workout the other day i done 225x16 very strict very easy. Fresh I could do 22-3 i think.

These guys train specifically for this test.

Also they are also generally 440lb plus benchers so therefore can press 225 easily. I can hit 374lbs as a max so it seems about right

I've done 225 for 40...not that hard if you can bench 450+...and yes I am natural.

Really, benching is about how your body is put together more than anything...if you have the right structure, benching is easy...always has been for me.   Some have it some don't

Just last night I did dips for 60 reps at the end of my chest workout...just for fun

Ronnie is Mr. Olympia and has been lifting for 20+ years.  These guys are 20 years old.  Lifting for maybe 3-4 years.

I've benched 225 for 21 before and will probably hit 25 this summer.  I'd be willing to bet on that.  My current one rep max is 345.  With enough steroids, better training and nutrition, I think 40 is realistic.

I heard Ronnie did 225X77 at the 1997 Arnold Classic.  :o

whats your bodyweight?

Last time I did it, I was about 240 at 6 feet.

Don't do the high reps too much because to get the most reps, you have to do it at the beginning of a chest work out, which pretty much screws up the rest of the workout. 

What I do do is reps of 20 to 30 with 225 at the end of the chest workout to get a good pump going.  This "training" is probably why I can hit so many at 225 when fresh   

Back to dips, definitely the strongest on these, i've done 3 reps with 235 around my waist at a bw of 235...total of 470.   That was scary...felt like my arms were going to tear off
