One of the highlights of the Arnold Classic 98 was the "bench press" challenge by Jimmy"Iron Bull" Pellechia.Ronnie Coleman took up the challenge and benched 225 pounds for a total of 79 reps as compared to jimmy's 59 reps!Even more impressive is the fact that Ronnie put in a heavy chest workout just a day before at World Gym.I watched him do incline bench press with 6 plates for 8 reps followed by benches with 8 plated for 8 reps.This effort had to have weakened him somewhat for the bench press contest the next day.You cant trully appreciate the size and shape of Ronnie Coleman unless u meet him in person.

That has to mean a total of 6 and 8 plates.


That is what I thought originally. But why wouldn't the guy just say 315 and 405?

Like cap said, the poster must have meant total plates. Not plates per side. I think the 225 for 79 reps happened at the Arnold?

i think that is possible. At a strongman-contest held at the fibo (Essen/Germany) several years ago i saw
3 or 4 guys who pressed the 100 kg (220 lbs) for more than 70 reps. And Ronny is def. one of the strongest Bodybuilder ever.

it says for a "total" of 79 reps as if maybe there was more than one round of lifting?? Just a thought--

Pellechia was challenging anyone to a bench for reps challenge, and unfortunately Ronnie took him up on it... ;D

I think it was 72 reps, and then Ronnie told Pellechia that he gave him "something to shoot for".


Nice owning from Ronnie of one of the bigger clowns in the fitness industry.

Pellechia is notorious for doing Kamali-style benchpressing. ;D


You know, 5 spotters.

So ronnie bench pressing 225lbs for 79 reps, that's equal to 731lbs for 1 rep

Jeff Everson was a witness to the lift(s). Known as a straight shooter throughout the weight lifting world, he printed it in his Planet Muscle Magazine, and I think it was also reported in a number of magazines, by other authors as well.

Doing that is many reps with 225 is not out of the question in fact I would expect him to do at least that many.  Most serious lifters in Hawaii know who Francis Silva is (known as coach) and he did an exhibition a few years ago at Windward Mall and did 225 for 70 reps.  He is 5'5" around 240 or so.  I always did my finishing set with 225 and did 40 to 50 reps and that was after a full bench workout.  Thats actually I measure my strength.  I can barely do 30 reps now so I know I am very weak compared to what I was.

usually when people do high reps...they dont use a Full ROM

they just do them with the bottom half of the lift and extend half way.

no way anyones triceps can take 70+ reps with 225lbs...unless your T.A probably ::)
