NBA bench press claims!!!!!

[JOHN MATRIX]

found this gem on another forum, where apparently it is being believed.

"Heres the confirmed bench press
A.I. - 167 / max 215
Steve Nash - 152/ max 207
Tony Parker - 146 / 202
Kobe - 262 / max 312
Dirk - 212 / max 281

Here's one you might not expect:
Earl Boykins - 315 max
Kevin Durant - only 185
Shaq - 400 max
Wilt - 475 / max 525!!

Shaq hitting 400 might be a little bit of a stretch... 

[Julio Ceasar]

I think I'll take a shit...brb

[Thealmightyronald]

Right. Ok, then I max 675.

I'd love to see those guys in the gym try to do that.

Wilt the stilt... full of shit.

Taco O'Neal (thanks Beach! )... questionable.

Just to benchmark those numbers:
In the Swedish Basketball League, one of the best benchpressers is a 5' 10'' backup guard who has a 300 lbs benchpress and some 30 dips and 20 chins if I remember correctly.

[Camel Jockey]

What about Ben Wallace?

[Wiggs]

You weasles act like 400 lbs is alot of weight especially for someone who is 7'1 and 330+.
Jealousy is a bitch.

Shaq's is believable, but c'mon... Kobe can't touch anywhere near 3 plates. He's scrawny as shit.

Yep, and with that 7'1 height comes an arm span of 50 inches......get serious, no one with arms as long as hummer could bench 400#. Arnold's max bench was 540, so you're saying Wilt has hit what Anrold has, and Shaq can hit 400???- the BS meter is runnning on overtime.

[cht868]

kevin durant 185, bet i could get him to 190 in 6 months no problem

Arnold couldn't bench 540 with 4 spotters and bullshit on the Shaq and especially the Wilt Chamberlain claims.

[Fury]

I like to think the Stilt was full of shit on most of his outrageous claims.

[Nap]

I don't believe Dirks and Chamberlains BP numbers. Dirk moves very well for a guy his height, but he's never been a great athlete. Chamberlain was a great athlete for his days, but 525 is a little too much. Having long arms like Wilt and Dirk makes it hard having a good bench, too. Just look at Durant...

I believe Kobes, Shaqs and Earl Boykins numbers. Kobe is a great jump & run athelete, so he might be strong, too. Shaq, in his early days, was faster and stronger than most Centers.

Aside from pushing off the fat white bitches you bang, when else have you pressed 400+?

[240 is Back]

Wilt - liar.

I believe Kobe.  He gets fouled 50 times a night and always jumps right up.  And he can still sink a jumper from 25 feet without making it look efforted.  He's made of tendon.

[Man of Steel]

AHHAHAHAAHHAAH!!!  Shaq....oh brother.   Of course, cause tall equals strong.

[tleilaxutank]

I bet earl boykins (5'5") can outbench kobe...he's a strong little dude


long arms = shitty bench

You mean that claim of Wilt slamming 10,000 women might be exagerated??

I am schocked, SHOCKED I tell you!

[Epic_Monster]

Remember these are maxed brutal form+assisted

it was actually 20,000 women that he claimed to have had sex with.

i wonder how many women per day that would equal out to, you'd need a lot of Cialis for that.

Hi Shaq

[The.Giant]

Kobe went on a crazy weight training routine a couple years ago, I could see him benching 3 plates.

Its a about a woman a day if he lost his virginity at 14 til when he died at 63.
