How rare is it to bench 225? (NFL Combine Standard)
- Thread starter The Plutonian
- Start date
I mean I'm just speaking from my experience so it doesn't mean that much but those sports you mentioned, I only see those guys getting real about weights when they make it to the next level(college). Once that strength and conditioning coach gets a hold of them that first year and makes them follow a strict schedule is when I see them getting to that 225 bench.
Football though in high school you kind of forced to lift weights in order to compete, but like I mentioned in that other post the skill position dudes just a few of them about that life, others do their best to avoid the weight room
I dunno why yall making such a big deal out of 225. Maybe because I'm from the south and we all strong. 225 was never a big weight to me. Even as a 175 pound sophomore.
Its not a big deal. I was 5'11 and 150 senior and could lift 205 with no problem, but I started lifting before my classmates. I would have been doing more but I broke my leg soph year in football and just stuck to basketball after that. We didn't have to lift weights like the football guys did.
I was just giving my opinion on your high school senior any sport could lift 225. I was only seeing football guys in the gym like that. Shit my brother as a high school senior was 300+ on the bench but he was a D1 linebacker, now that type of lifting is what I see as a big deal and figured them big country ass dudes down south are on that level
My 1rm on dumbbell was 135lbs
But that was last year when I was on that gym life HEAVY. I took time off and am getting back to it but I know I can get back to where I was... just gotta keep grinding and then all at once it'll be back to business as usual
You a big dude right? I thought I remember you talking about having a family member that was a big ass lineman and for some reason I came away thinking your ass was big too lol. I might have you confused
yeah you are ahead of me lol
I got a cuz that played college ball with Lance Briggs at Arizona, went up against Terrell Suggs when he was at Arizona State...
But I'm 6'1, 250 at the moment, trying to get back to 235 but this shit ain't easy at 43yrs old.
This is me when I try to lift
I've done that more than once doing barbells squats..lol
I get my reps in using things around the house not heavy weight. Recess peanut butter cups, Twinkies, chilli Frito bags, I like to keep my workouts rustic!
Can't even lie... I've done it too
work is work
better than sitting on the couch
im like you......i never went past 3 plates. once i accomplished 315, i was done.
niggaz tried pressuring me to do 335 and shit...,...on some...."nigga its still yo mufuckin set".........Oh no the fuck it aint........im good.
I was squatting 4 plates though. I started back working out twice a day 2 months ago. But i restrict my bench regimen to just 6 sets of ten reps of 225.......then the same 205....and 185.
I'd start at the max with 3 sets of ten....go down to 185....and then go back up to 225. My arms be on fire by the time im done.
In dudes defense maybe he was saying he did 73 reps throughout the whole workout
on some german volume training shit.....maybe 7 sets of german volume training
or he's full of shit
It's the latter bro lol.

You know BGOLs get down
Might be truth to this. I go to 24 hr fitness and Planet fitness. Not many people in either of those gyms can do those numbers.
Black ppl are naturally physically stronger, so you all who dont agree are comparing using the wrong metrics.

Hell yeah....b-ball, soccer, track, tennis, most baseball players (exclusive, not football/track, etc) ain't lifting that much.
I think wrestlers can be added to the football players. Those are some strong mufuckas.
