What percentage of pro BBers can do this?
Oregon State defensive tackle Stephen Paea is unable to run or perform on-field drills due to arthroscopic knee surgery underwent in January. So he had one, solitary focus entering the 2011 Scouting Combine:
Bench press 225 pounds as many times as possible.
Paea more than aced the test, breaking the Combine record with 49 reps of 225. The previous mark was shared by current Giants guard Mitch Petrus, and NFL washouts Leif Larsen and Mike Kudla.
Unlike Larsen and Kudla who had 45 reps of 225 Paea can play. He twice won the Morris Trophy as the Pac-10′s top defensive lineman, piling up 29.5 career tackles for loss and 14 sacks despite facing constant double teams.
NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock is particularly high on Paea, projecting him as a potential late first-round pick even despite the knee surgery.
Said Mayock of Paea, His strength in the weight room translates to the football field.

Paea is a big kid, 6' 1, #300 or so. And his reps were a lot cleaner than many of these high rep videos you see. As to whether any BBer could do that now? It's always hard to figure high rep converted to 1 rep maxes after a certain point, but I figure most would need to be in the mid #500's- 600 for a single to have a chance at coming close.

GRECO JIU JITSU could do it. With a forklift.

::) Amateur BB doing 54 reps.

Not fair to even go there with a comparison like that. Let him try it without being juiced to the gills.

You see. Standards = everything, even if you try to deny it when it helps you.
-
NFL standards are rather high compared to bodybuilding which 100% subjective. Not one of those reps performed by anyone in that video was a legit rep and were purely done as a circus trick.

How do you know? How does anyone know? I could say bodybuilders' standards are higher and you couldn't prove otherwise.
-
Actually yes I could prove it, I've been in and around bodybuilding for 35 years, I've been involved in and around high school, college and pro athletes for 16 years. What kind of proof would you like?
-
In the end all the proof a person can provide is that NFL has one judge sitting there and acting like he can tell what is going on. 1 judge is the same as 0 judges. Rules don't matter at that point. If you can't realise this then I can't help you any further.

I got through 25 sec of that bullshit and turned it off.
-
i did 225 for 51 at 6'2 270.my max at the time was 445.
-
49 half bounce reps with 75% of their body weight...
that is the most retarded part of the columbine but gets the most attention.

This is what you call better coach?

LOL id like to see how many full reps these guys could get without giving themselves chest compressions with every rep too...

Looks like self applied CPR... I don't think my heart could take that many beatings.

This isn't fair on Nasser. He does slow, full reps while the other guys do fast half reps or third reps.

LOL i wonder if anyone has ever cracked a rib while doing the bench contest at the columbine...
-
I've seen that combine video about 20 times today and have came to the conclusion, that anyone who is blasting about the way Paea did his bench today is delusional. Those reps are as good as form as you're going to get. Tony, I don't what you're talking about but I saw very little compression.

Coach, are you backing out of our Excalibur contest?
BTW, we need to talk about our wage... I would like to stay at your PalmS condo/Townhouse for a week... play golf wearing tartan pants and walk around shaking ppl's hands and say "Hi I'm Joe from 105"
I put on the table, our timeshare in Cabo... or our place at bigbear...
Your thoughts...
-
We could one of two things, stay at my place in PS on the golf course with a lake and mountain view OR we could take my sail (36' Beneteau) to Cabo on your dime.

I wasnt talking about just paea coach his form was better than most but bro if you can hear the weight hitting your chest as it hits your chest then yea your bouncing it...
my comments were more towards the shittier form which is the norm in the combine bench contest there...

I`ll raise you an Antebellum vacation where you will start by planting corn, cucumbers and tomatoes and after you are done with that, you can clean the smoke house and eat your meals in the slaves kitchen where you will also be bedding for the night. You will not get paid, you will not get fed, but you will get whipped. In other words, "you won`t recover". :D

hall of fame football player dick butkus couldn't do 225 bp once and he was considered one of the all-time greats.
-
He looked like he was doing cardio with 225. Incredible bench press strength.

Wouldn't an 'antebellum' vacation involve picking a shitload of cotton!? ;D
-
The training Dick Butkus had beck then was non existant compared to now.

First, Sherman ruined that for everyone and over a century later, the Asians and their cheap labor combined with synthetic fibers destroyed the very fabric of cotton production that used to benefit the United States and the world. :-\
