Title: GAKIC Bench Challenge results
Post by: JDawg on October 15, 2005, 07:25:38 AM
NFL combine rules reps with 225

1) Jeramy Freeman 54 reps  (Muscletech)
2) Phil Heath 46 reps (Weider)
3) Sebastian Zona 43 reps (Muscletech)
4) Garret Downing 31 reps (Weider)
5) Justin Brooks 25 reps (Muscletech)
6) Roland Kickinger 17 reps (Weider)
6) Christian Boeving 17 reps (Muscletech)
7) Nasser 15 reps (no joke) (Weider)

Premise was good, but seemed a bit unorganized.  Should have been prizes, etc.
* NFL combine record is 42

Nasser ate fries and did 15 reps with 225.
RockyIII ate cock and did 12 reps with 225.

Therefore,
Fries are 1.25 times more anabolic than cock.

I totally agree with Division, bodybuilders are not Powerlifters. Hell alot of bodybuilders dont even bench press anymore.It can be a very risky movement to do if you go extremely heavy. I will say though 15 reps is pretty lousy, well not pretty lousy, really lousy hell i train teenage footbal players that can do it that much.  later

Also....the form is different.

Bodybuilders don't use form like Powerlifters. 

They also don't have the same static strength that comes from heavy negatives.

For powerlifting meets you have to hold the weight and pause, which I don't think they are doing for this 225lbs rep contest.

It's a whole different ballgame.

Pushing weight up and down for sloppy reps is not strength......that's physics and momentum with "some" strength on the positive slope.......where is the negative and static strength? 

Also.......it's true, many IFBB pros don't even bench anymore. 

Bob Chick said he doesn't bench AT ALL.......

Bodybuilders are not powerlifters.........not even close.  Powerlifters have functional strength which is more useful in everday life.

A few things

- The NFL combine record is actually 43 reps now.  It was just set this last spring.

- At the combine the kids are just juniors or seniors in college.  I would imagine that many of the linemen in their prime could post much higher numbers (Larry Allen benched 700 lbs raw).

- Why in the world would a person enter a bench press contest if they could only bench 225 15-20 times?  It couldn't have really surprised them very much when that was the result, so why enter?

That's simple......

Alot of these IFBB pros don't even do benches anymore.

They want to build muscle, and they've found easier ways to do it obviously than compound movements like heavy benches.

Nasser doing only 15 reps proves that AAS build alot of useless mass, that is, mass that just sits there but has no function.  A side of beef in other words.

That's why bodybuilders are not powerlifters.

WOW I thought those numbers would have been higher.  I am stronger than I thought.  Even now after 7 years of non-hard training I would have taken 5th.  225 is way to light.  315 minimum should have been used.  405 would have been even nicer.  We do that here.  225 just isn't impressive to lift no matter what.  AT least with 315 that is a weight that most people can't lift anyway, 405 even better yet.  Stupid contest

Actually....this was a good move for Gakic because Gakic is supposed to increase endurance & hence why 225 was used instead of 315 or 405.

In college or professional football....players are measured by muscle endurance as well as strength & thus why they use 225lbs as a benching weight.

Anything above 25 reps is a good strength/endurance number for college football teams.

Post by: onlyme on October 15, 2005, 02:33:59 PM
Oh, I didn't know what Gakic was.  I still think 225 is to light.  315 would test strength and endurance better.  It's heavier but not to heavy.  Any pro BB should be able to push 315 pretty easy for reps.  225 is almost like doing a push-up just easier to judge.  And from what I can see about this Wolf guy he is pretty much on the up and up and the guys who are on his shit are ending up looking pretty stupid.

i'm thinking that maybe some of these guys (nasser), were contractally obliged to be there and had no interest in doing it. Just went thru the motions.

because there is no way that nasser's 225 rep max is 15.

No one's noticed that some of the guys' ROMs were 1/2 reps = cheating.

The organizers should have been very clear on ROM, which gave some of them a big advantage.

I have a feeling the NFL combine is very clear on this.

whether they power lifters or not these guys should have been putting more impressive #'s than that. there are BB at my and gyms i have been in, in the past who are natural that hit 225 15-20. so you are going to tell me nasser can't do 20 push ups? the man is 270 and 225 is 80% of his weight. i expect a BB to have more endurance than a PWL any way. they do  a build up[ to a one hit max where as BB do a higher rep scheme to tear down muscle. i am 195 with no considerable strength and i can do 225 for 9 which was embarrassing until this.

I'm not sure what point it proved as such but I do know that by the time i've added another 45lbs to my frame, I hope to be able to bench a bit more than nasser can.

That's all. really. Oh and I bought a golds venice t-shirt while i was there. in case anybody's interested.

The problem is, you put up 825 pounds but you fail to mention that you use a bench shirt. Big difference between 600 and 800 pounds. People that aren't familiar with the bodyarmor powerlifters use will assume you are lifting raw. You should put 825 with a bench shirt or it seems misleading.

This bench shirt stuff is completely ridiculous. If they develope a titanium armour suit I guarantee someone will come on here and boast about their 2000 pound bench press. All the kids will be so impressed until they find out the truth. They will be able to bench press 300 raw and 2000 with the suit LOL! The raw bench press should be all that matters. You shouldn't be able to boast about a lift if you're using a device that adds over 200 pounds. I'm skeptical about his 600 pound raw bench. He's not even sure "600-700..."

I know that Glenn Kulka who used to play in the CFL 10+ years ago and then was in WWF for a short time (with Hart family) back when he was playing hed the pro footbal record of 53 reps....

Well I undrestand your views on the bench shirt, but what you must understand is that this is the way unfortunately that our sport has turned. If you wish you cand read ,y interview on criticalbench.com and you will see my opinion on both shirted and raw. And Yes i can bench well over 600 raw, you can look atthe July issue of Powerlifting usa and in the back I did a guest raw lift of a very very very easy 600 pounds. Do I wish we did not use bench shirts? Yeah sometimes, but you no what to get anywhere in the sport of Benchpressing you got to evolve with the sport,so I evolved! Do I plan on lifting in a raw meet? Yes you can look at my posts on monstermuscle.com's powerlifting forum. I did fail to mention that I use a bench shirt on my 1st post but i have done 500 raw for 10 reps pretty easily and I have done 405 for 22 reps raw!!!! I dont care if any of you guys beleive me or not, I am considered in my sport World Class which is I'm sure better then most of you bashing me are in your sport. I love bodybuilding it is where i started but I decided i wanted to be a Bencher more and took that route. I make money at my sport do you guys bashing me make money at your sport? Did'nt think so!I am kinown arouind the world in my sport are any of you bashing on me known throughout the world? Again did not think so.

Bench shirts do give me extra weight on my bench, and yes I wear one when I compete but like i said it is part of my sport.And no putting on a bench shirt will not make you a 800 pounde bencher!!!!! You need to work on it if it did there would be more then 17 guys doing it. Just my opinion bash me if you want but I wont bash you backi cause i respect the sport you guys are in.

Jesus Christ Mike, read your own post back: '825 in a shirt' (specific) 'well over 600 raw'

well over? WELL FUCKING OVER??? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??

Shirts are here only because of the inroads John Inzer made into FUCKING UP powerlifting with this shite way back in the early 90's, if that bastard had not of poisoned the game with his needle and thread you wouldnt be facing the barrage of piss-taking that you currently are

Oh and again, did you read your post back before clicking the 'post' button, this particular nugget had me pissing myself:

And no putting on a bench shirt will not make you a 800 pounde bencher!!!!! You need to work on it

So - essentially -  what you are saying is that bench shirts are cheating, only, they are a form of cheating you have to 'work at'?, shit, thats all of us critcs told, fuck me, now that you have shown us the light, I dont know why we even bothered

WHAT IS A "BENCH SHIRT" AND WHAT DOES IT DO EXACTLY?????????

I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT - I AM NEW TO POWERLIFTING STUFFS ????

 :-*

a bench shirt is essentially a heavy duty shirt that a bench presser will wear to assist them lift the weight, it really is that simple to define

The shirts are made from thick elastic type 'springy' material such as denim/lycra - or whatever other material can be best used to cheat - and is essentially no different to putting rocket boots onto a runners shoes

The shirts are so thick and tight that they often require three guys to help the lifter into them, and once into them, the lifter is so restricted that he cannot move his arms unless under the weight of a heavy bar, shit, when wearing some shirts, some guys say they cannot  lower anything less than 500lb to their chest because the shirt wont flex under such 'lightweight'

In short, its bollocks

that is all

It doesnt make sense why they are allowed then - there should be two contests: 1) Bench Record (No Assist) and 2) Bench Record Assisted

So...I can only "bench" LOL - something like 100 pounds maybe!  If I wear a bench shirt I can lift much much more?   Scary  :o

nothing would be more embarassin than tellin somone u can bench say 500lbs when withouth the shirt u can only bench 3... and the call you out on it.. and you dont have a shirt.. what are u gonna say i benched 300 now.. but i can bench 500 with a shirt...????...
if u cnt bench it raw... then its not a legit bench...

LOL, there are two sets of records, assisted and unassisted (there are many different feds but essentially thats what it comes down too)

To put it into perspective, the assisted record is 1005lbs by Gene Rychlak, whereas the RAW record is 715lbs by Scott Mendelson (he may have broken it since, but my memory is foggy) the point being that the RAW record is sub 740 and has been for years

To be blunt, the RAW record has hardly changed in decades, yet, the assisted record changes as often as a good girls panties

The assisted guys can delude themselves they are lifting these new records, but - and as said - its nothing other than a pathetic spectacle

When Gene broke the 1000 barrier (and in doing so making the bench press a bigger lift than the deadlift) I really struggled to find any lifters that gave a fuck, its really is that much of a joke

i also would like to see powerlifting done RAW but that won't happen. there is a guy at my gym who benches the same amount i do RAW and he's well over 500 with a shirt. i guess i should borrow his shirt and then maybe i'll have a 500 pound bench to brag about!!! awesome!!!!!!!

Um, 15 reps with 225 is definitely not "weak". That would probably put his max bench at around 370 lbs. I bet most of you punks couldn't bench 275.

Also, Jim Williams never benched 700.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!

50 reps? 405lbs?

Are you sure about those numbers man? You sure it was four plates (405) and not three plates (315)?

50 reps with 315 lbs would be damn near impossible IMO, but maybe Kaz or you could do something like that. But 405 lbs... That's just too much weight for 50 reps.

BTW, I am not calling you a liar, just wanting to make sure it was 405lbs/50reps.

See why do you guys still need to be bashing me. Did you not read my post at all, i did say that I was planning on competing raw and I agreed the shirts have gotten ridiculous. You dont think bodybuilding has not gotten out of hand with it going FREAK STYLE!!!!  Hell half the guys are walking around with solid ass bloated bellys that stickout further then my fat gut. What happened to symetrical pleasing looking bodys. Hell those guys are so doped up now it aint even funny. I know drugs run rampant in powerlifting but I mean damn come on guys. How about SYNTHOL is that not as CHEATING as a benchshirt is in Powerlifting. Oh hell I dont need to work these tris and delts I can put gravy in them and look big as a house. That is just as relavent as me putting on a benchshirt and benching 825. Come on guys it aint one sided here there is shit happening in your sport also that is just like strapping ROCKET BOOSTER to a runners shoes. Dont be so damn 1 sided take a long deep look at your sport before you bash mine. I am on this page because I knew it would be the best resource to a sport that I love but dont take part in and all I get is my ass jumped for it. GROW UP Guys!!!!

There is no way in hell Bill Kazmaier, or anyone else for that matter that could bench press 405 for 50 reps...that would put his 1 rep max far in excess above his recorded RAW max of 661 lb.  Hell, even to squat 315 for 50 like Tom Platz did is insane, and the quads are a much stronger muscle group than the muscles used to power a bench press.  Just to put things in perspective to all these outrageous claims being thown around here.

For those interested, here's a link to a 1-rep max calculator:

Not sure but I heard allot of others tell me he did it.  And I think he told me that too.  I don't 50 reps is out of the question. Here at the strongman they bench 405 for reps.  Curtis Leffler I think won one year with 29 I did 23.  And I think almost everyone else in comp. did at least 13 I think was the least amount.  So Kaz doing 50 I don't see that out of the question.  But I see your point about the one rep max thing.  But I know also that some guys have great stamina and not so much one rep power.  Kaz had both.  I will ask him when I call him next.

You don't have an exact number for your raw lift, because lifting raw is not as important in the ego-driven world of powerlifting. Face it, powerlifting is becoming pro wrestling. When powerlifters put up these numbers they know the general public is not aware of bench shirts. Let me guess, the assisted bench record has increased substantially while the raw bench hasn't because the shirts are getting stronger - not the powerlifters themselves LOL. If you really want to promote yourself, why not call out some of these guys to compete against you raw. You could generate publicity for yourself and restore dignity and legitimacy to powerlifting at the same time. You could be the King Kamali of powerlifting. You already have similar builds.

At least their bodies are still doing the work. Synthol IS the bench shirt of bodybuilding I agree. But the top 5 guys don't use synthol. Everyone knows bodybuilders use steroids. The bench shirt lifters mislead people purposely IMO. I think synthol is actually a good way to lose. Markus Ruhl would agree. Bodybuilders aren't jumping on stage wearing a muscle costume yet, but King Kamali hasn't retired yet either...

Hey Sarcasm nice to see you are back, really kinda missed ya :)  And so you all know I tell people all the time about my benchshirt and explain to them what it is and what it does. You guys are totally barking up the wrong tree, like I said before I am not an ego maniac.I just evolved with the sport I loved.

Come on Mansiover read all my post before you jump at me. I have already agreed that shirts have gotten ridiculously crazy and are ego driven. And I'm pretty damn sure my 600 raw bench is far more then you will ever see.

I say Bullshit Big G Man. I will bring a camera anytime you want tp prove this one. I say 315 for 10 good reps is beyond your reach.

There is no way in hell Bill Kazmaier, or anyone else for that matter that could bench press 405 for 50 reps...that would put his 1 rep max far in excess above his recorded RAW max of 661 lb.  Hell, even to squat 315 for 50 like Tom Platz did is insane, and the quads are a much stronger muscle group than the muscles used to power a bench press.  Just to put things in perspective to all these outrageous claims being thown around here.



I tend to agree with you. I was one of the strongest squatters in my gym and I maxed out at 25 reps on a 315/squat-the weight burns you at 20 reps, and at 25 I was history.

But, I have met Bill Kaz in person, and the fact is he is 6'5 and weighs in at 350+#'s. So a 405 bench is only 50 pounds over his body weight.

How many people here could bench their body weight for 50 reps? Not impossible-but that would be very impressive.

Kaz is 6'3" and I have no problem believing he can (or could) bench 405 for 50.  For a person who can (or did) over 20 and I was drug free, not seriously heavy training and seeing others beat me with more reps I don't see why Kaz at one time doing it.  But I will him tommorrow and if I talk to him I will ask.  SOmeone pm me to remind me cause I know I'll forget

It was the most arbitrary thing I could think of at the moment (re: pebbles). As far as being jealous knows, anybody can befriend a bodybuilder or powerlifter. They're not celebrities, even though they seem to think so.

Dude I hope you are kidding.  What you say to me means absolutely nothing.  I have nothing to prove I have already done that.  I do find it amusing that you get hostile over what I say or who I mention.  Kaz is a friend not someone I read about or seen on TV.  As is most everyone else I mention on here.  I could care less about almost any celebrity I may mention on here.  They don't pay my bills (anymore).  I am out of that circle now and have been since 1994 or so.  I may still see someone every now or then and talk or whatever but I am about as far away from that stuff now as you can get.  If I mention someone's name or show a pic, I do it cause I can.  I had a good past.  My present isn't as good but it is getting better.

it's not comparable to the involvement of say, a row, pulldown, or pullup. Deadlift is more total body like a squat. It seems logical to me if you include the bench press, which predominantly involves the pecs, tris, and deltoids, there should be another upper body body movement that tests the lats and bis. That's just the way I see it.

every rep i do i bring down v controled to my chest and then back up, no bounce.

for example lests say i can bench 300lbs for 1 rep.

i could maybe only bench 100-120lbs for 50. i hav edone 40 with 100lbs after a pretty tough workout.

so lets say anywhere from 33% up to (being generous) 50% of a 1RM equates to 50 reps i seriously doubt kaz cud do 50reps with 405, not full reps anyway.

Onlyme you say u did 25 or so which i believe. what was ur one rep max about 550+. Well Kaz was only 100lbs more so i doubt he doubled the reps with a 1rm of only 100lbs more

60%ish of his 1RM for 50??? almsot impossible. just my 2 cents

The logic is not shitty, and the numner of reps will not vary significantly between people. 
Here is the table: http://www.bodybuildingpro.com/onerepmax.html (http://www.bodybuildingpro.com/onerepmax.html)

20 reps with 225 equals 363.6 (225x1.616).

You said you can bench 225x21 and your max is about 360.  So you can see that the table gives a very good estimate, give or take about 10 pounds.

6) Roland Kickinger 17 reps (Weider)
6) Christian Boeving 17 reps (Muscletech)
7) Nasser 15 reps (no joke) (Weider)
Premise was good, but seemed a bit unorganized.  Should have been prizes, etc.
* NFL combine record is 42

Kickinger, Boeving, and Nasser should be ashamed.  I would have finished 4th and I sit behind a desk all freakin day.  Good grief. 

But 315 for 50 (Kaz) is just nuts.  Definitely ranks up there with Coleman's parking lot lunges (100 yards, 3 plates).

that's not true.  my father, my brother and myself all have genetically thick legs.  my squat has always been disproportionately high compared to my bench.

you're right though, my legs do dwarf my arms.  i'm focusing my training on upper body much more heavily than lower.  the reason this imbalance was allowed to develop was because of weight training in highschool.  football training focused primarily on lower body strength, with the squat at the core of the routine.  additionally, my legs just respond faster to training than the rest of me.

but you know what, i have lost some weight, so i guess i should go check the measurements on them.  i guess fat loss could have made them smaller, but i doubt by much.

I'm 18 years old.  I weigh 220 lbs, with a little bit of pudge.  I can bench 365, squat 540 and deadlift 585.  I've been strong as long as I've been alive.  I was big as a kid, and I'm big now.  I'm not the ultimate specimen, but when I put the work in, I work smart, work hard and get results accordingly.  You can dispute my numbers and my logic all you want, but I am what I am and your words will never take that away from me.

you are a liar. lost 20lb in a little over a month  ::)

Sarcasm it's cool we get it.  You can bash on everyone behind your computer, but when it comes down to things getting dirty, you're the number 2 pencilneck losing to the one legged man in the one legged ass kicking contest.

i never said i didn't train.

i trained very sporadically throughout highschool, and i've been training for the last few months.

and yeah, i know exactly how big 30 inches is.  the thing is, these pros have 30 inch legs while dieted down to ridiculous levels.  the cuts in my legs are visible, but not anywhere near the point of even a good amateur competitor.

also, it's not that i was lying about my weight.  it's that i hadn't weighed myself in a while.  i didn't think approximation was such a crime, especially concerning my body weight, but i guess i didn't count on you keeping a close watch on all my previous posts.

3) Sebastian Zona 43 reps (Muscletech)
4) Garret Downing 31 reps (Weider)

7) Nasser 15 reps (no joke) (Weider)

Premise was good, but seemed a bit unorganized.  Should have been prizes, etc.
* NFL combine record is 42

:o15 reps...that's it?  This is a joke, right?  He's 270ish for god's sake...

Thats because nasser did his reps super-slow, anf with a full contrfaction.  Jeremy Freeman did his with a VERY abbreviated range of motion.  If you watch the video, you would see the difference.  It was silly not to have some sort of "standard" ways set to   have to complete the rep.

I think the comparison is pretty fair. BB'ers aren't known for exceptional strength to begin with (compared to strongmen and powerlifters). And the NFL guys actually have to do this silly shit.

Are you kidding me? Thats all they brag about, Dexter claiming a 600lbs bench, Ronnie Deadlifting 800lbs and the list goes on. There are basically KIDS at these combines just coming out of college or still in. The comparison is apples and oranges.

Alright look, you're basically saying it's unfair for pro BB'ers to compete in this event because they are on an exceptional amount of pharmaceutical enhancement, while the NFL pros aren't. OK fine. I think it's not as significant as you claim. That's my opinion. You look at what top offensive and defensive lineman can do, they are up there in the 40's. They are big guys and they can handle this without crying. Would they do better if they "had the same drugs"? Probably.
