BOL Round Table

Because the staff said that at Bama's pro day lastyear Jesse broke the combine bench record, and that is why everyone on here expected he would break the bench record. Not like everyone on here just expected that he would do 52 reps because of his max, but everyone did expect it because we have been told that he has broken it before, plus it has been hyped up for a long time. FYI football is an endurance sport and workouts are alternated between strength/mass/endurance. What good is strength without endurance, and what good endurance without strength, being one of the best football players in the country you need both.

Trent also told scouts he was doing 25 and then stopping.

Really wanted the record for jesse though

Didn't somewhere it say that Jesse himself said he would break the combine record? I could be wrong but I thought I read that somewhere.

I think everyone does 225.

No doubt, especially coming from your power lifting background haha. It's good to get a variety i find. I'll do 3 days, typical body part splits, then 2 days of sprinting, athletic drills, then two days of circuit type work. Just spices it up after years of doing the same thing.

I saw a pretty ripped former fitness instructor (his story anyway) come into a body pump class once. He told the instructor he'd never done that particular class. I heard the instructor (female) tell him he may want to put a total of 20-30 lbs on the bar. He had a sort of sneer on his face and loaded up about 60 or 70lbs. He got pissed and left about 1/2 way thru the class.

The reps are extremely intense and designed to hit your lower body large muscles from every perspective in terms of endurance. I was a loooong way from my peak at the time, but still...I was once very athletic and played 3 sports. I put 20 lbs on there and it kicked my ass. Particularly the lower body where you have to take your own body weight into consideration.

Point is, if you train for mass and explosion, it's not likely you're equipped for extreme reps and vice-versa.

Yeah, because Cochran uses such a generic training program, and sticks with 4x10 for everything! I know for a fact that Cochran uses some pretty crazy rep ranges, like GVT with 15 second intervals between sets, that's worse than FST-7, and also pretty sure that would qualify for muscular endurance as opposed to cardio. Cochran is one of the best in world, his routines are anything but ordinary.

The reason Jesse could break the record lastyear and not come close this year, is because lastyear when the season was over he was right back in the weight room training, this year he has taken a big break since the season ended, fresh off of surgery, and his endurance is way down. Has nothing to do with the training program he's doing, but everything to do with the training program he isn't doing.

I stand corrected if true - wouldn't have thought he used those, guess I should know better then to doubt SC lol

If it feels good you ain't doing it right, and that FST-7, Drops sets, and 100's damn sure don't feel good, lol.......

That's for HS

30 is such a round number. i'm guessing he did 30 and stopped on purpose.
