HOW MANY REPS WOULD YOU SAY A STRONG OFFENSIVE LINEMAN COULD BENCH WITH 315????

[mesmorph78]

[HUGEPECS]

no he didn't.

he bounced it off his chest, and he was doing half ass reps at a fast speed. he claimed he did 57. They did not showed the entire clip of him doing it, though

[wisconsinBB]

I've seen guys doing 225lbs very rapidly and able to do reps in the 30's, but I don't count these as full reps.

[Man of Steel]

im not a world class bencher and im not lieing i have done.. 15.. once and once only...
no need to...

my younger brother by 2 yrs we look identical.. does if for 6 7 reps...

I didn't realize we were referring to mesomorph78.......he's a good dude with a great build, if I was bettin man I'd wager that he could do it.

Yep, more than twice as strong  

[Overload]

if any 200 pound guy on this site could do 315 for 15 reps it would be Meso. Shit, he does dips with 4 plates around his waist.

[wisconsinBB]

I just looked at the stats from the 2007 NFL combine.  The most anyone did on bench was 40 reps.  That was a 300+ pound offensive lineman.  No way in hell Urlacher ever did 57, more than twice as many as he did at the 2000 NFL combine.

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.

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.

Come on guys, a strong 200 lb guy can rep out 315 like cake. . .seen it many times.    You don't even have to be a bench monster.  I have been able to do 315 for 12 forever with only a bit of concentration on bench training to make it happen.  Not going to call it perfect reps but when you see the nfl guys do it. .that is sloppy bouncing shit and you could call my reps pristine in comparison:)
You did say 5'11 so that will make his arms longer but in any case, I think it is easily achievable.

How much do you weigh?

This is Justin Harris benching 315 for 29 reps at a BW below 280lbs.

[Wanocki]

the strongest lineman you see at the NFL combine typically get 45 reps or so with 225 so i'd gues sthat would equal like 18 or so with 315.

Actually most average somewhere between 27-34 reps from waht i've seen.  Larry Brown got 45 at the pro bowl a couple years ago.  The combine record is 45 reps done by Mike Kudla like two years ago, he was cut by the Steelers.

Justin is one strong mofo, but I don't count those as complete reps.  Im betting he could probably actually come close to 29 full reps, he most likely just uses the short range of motion to keep a better pump.

Evander Holyfield does 365 for 10 at a BW of 210, so i def believe these NFL guys can do what they claim

say what?

is there actually any proof of this claim?

[Big Worm]

mesmorph claims he can do 15 with 315 at 200 bwt and 5'11" and shit i'd say if he can do 15 UNASSISTED that would mean he could squeeze out 20 with a couple of fingers on the bar.

Dude ..What differance does it make ? Even if you can lift more than that ? It wouldn't matter ... As smart as you claim to be ?? You just don't get it ?
 Are what you doing,working for you ? Absolutely not... You're this powerful man that lifts mountains...But....You're a hairy fatalian.. that look's like he hasn't stepped in a gym in years ...

 Dude ..You suck and your posts are no good....Every post is about a claim someone else made ...

One thing you must understand is that announcers and sports writers always make ridiculous claims about how much star athletes can lift.
