Does anyone know the record for benching 225 lbs the most times

Dont tell me you do bench to ful lockout. You're supposed to stop just short of that.

one full rep is lockout, in competition it has to be locked out. During regular training sessions it is good to include what youv mentioned also.
 
Well... I'm sure the NFL record is way over 40.. I went Nike recruiting camp in highschool and there were a couple high schoolers who did 46, and 41, 39.. And they are pretty strict..
 
Adam Archiletta trains by lifting the weight and 'dropping' it...he doesnt test like that...The NFL and college are pretty strict when it comes to that...AA uses some odd methods like chains and micro weights, but my friend in the AFL does the same with his trainer and it seems to work well for athletes...

There is usually 185 and 225 for testing in college and prob NFL too...DBs and the 'small' guys use the 185 and the linemen and bigger guys use 225. Our D3 def. end benched 225 for 38 so I am SURE D1/NFL and even Ronnie can do a shitload more...

I dont agree with it really, and I think it should be like how many reps heavy for 2-5 can you do for the linemen etc...football is all power generated so why do a strength endurance test? But it looks good...but doing 405 for 5 or whatever seems to be a better upper strength guage to me...

PLUS...anyone who played will tell you this...numbers hardly ever really translate to how good a player is on the field...Some AWESOME ballers can hardly bench more than a decent HS player, but would make u look like a fool in pads.

Tony Mandarich did something like 44, 45 or 46 reps at 225 lbs. about 15 - 17 years at the NFL Combine when he came out of Michigan State when was on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
 
Lets do some math

YOur reps with 225/your max
Desired answer /A record holders max bench

Set up the proportion and you should get a close answer.
 
I was just reading flex magazine this month and they said Jermey Freeman benched 225 for something like 54 reps at the strongman competition. I don't know how strict their form is but that is pretty impressive.
 
Someone told me Big Ron C. held the record at like 51. But I alway's only believe half of what I hear. Then again it wouldn't suprise me considering the man can leg press 2,300lb's 8x with ease. That's power.

At well over 300lbs s in the offseason he should be able to do 60 reps....these are guys are easily giving up 60 plus lbs in weight..
 
someone told me the NFL combine does not do full lockout reps. He said they should do touch, pause, lockout, but he said what they did was touch and go with no lockout. I guess he seen it on tv....
 
Right out of high school grad my buddy did it for 32 reps,clean(no juice clean) and after a FIVE mile run weighing only 230!!Player university football as a centre for 5 years.
N.F.L er Tony Mandrich did 43 back in 1988 but he was on somthing which makes my friend seem that much more impressive.
Not 100% but Ithink Jeremy Freeman did 53 reps at this years Olympia.
