BOL Round Table

What was expected?

Most people expected about eleventybillion.

30 reps is still an elite number for the bench press. Expectations for our guys always seem to get overhyped—there's nothing to be ashamed about 30 reps. That's good!

Trent Richardson did 25 reps on the bench press and people also felt disappointed. 25 reps for a running back is very good, though.

I read the same posting Rolling read last year. Supposedly, he ran the 40 and hit 52 on bench according to the post by Walsh or someone.

Well that certainly doesn't help but everybody knows he is strong. Isn't there a big difference between raw explosive strength (max) and muscle endurance (reps)?

That just does not add up to what we have heard over and over again. I wonder if he can actually bench a 1 rep max at 600. Very odd.

Yea to me that doesn't add up to a 600 pound bench press max. I have personally seen someone do 30 reps they couldn't come anywhere close to benching 600 pounds.
