Bench Press: 49 reps of 225

[tonymctones]

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.

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...

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`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".

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.”

 

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!?   

[Coach is Back!]

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.
