Oregon State defensive tackle Stephen Paea set an NFL Combine record in the bench press as he pumped 225 pounds a whopping 49 times. NFL.com has a video archive for the Combine and you can watch Paea set the bench press record. It's a pretty entertaining video. The spotter recognizes early on that Paea has come to work ("We've got a live one!") and then as he gets up over 30 reps the rest of the defensive linemen start cheering for him. Although this record-breaking performance will only help his cause against other defensive linemen, it's a great show of camaraderie (with a bleeped out swear word at around 40 seconds thrown in for good measure).

49! Forty-Freakin-Nine!!!! Holy crap!

I could probably do about 10 for now, but I haven't been in the weight room for almost 2 years.

I could probably leg press 225 49 times

Saw that on NFL network yesterday.

Also I think they showed the top bench performances at the combine. Tank Tyler was on the list with 42 I think. lol

The previous combine record was 45 apparently... i'm pretty sure I recall hearing that Kris Jenkins did like 54 one time at the NFL pro bowl contest and LOST... but I'm not positive about that.

Saw a post on PFT about a dude at the combine that did 44 reps yesterday...

Also saw a note last week about a guy that tore his pec at the combine doing it... that really sucks. :(

Thought about this old thread reading those bench press notes...

Last July I was maxing 305 and did 225 14 times with no spotter, at the time I was 6'0" and 215... since my rotator cuff tear and surgery I can't lift more than 5 lbs. until April 15... :(

I'm a year out from this post ^ and 14 months out from my surgery and I have full ROM in my arm and have been back in the gym since last June. I'm back up to where I can get 275 up a couple of times and just yesterday my third set of bench I did 225 10X with no spotter. Very happy that I had my shoulder fixed. :)

I can also do 38 pull ups with out stoping.

That is the measure of a man. I've seen guys in the gym bench 300+ and can't do one pullup. I can do about 12-15 but I'm talking real pullup. Overhand, all the way up and all the way down.

I'm working on trying to do this.

I'm 7'4" 480 lbs. and can bench 100 reps. I also can run a sub 4.2 40 yard dash and have 40" arms. U mad bros? :rofl:

back in high school, i bet i could have hung with most of you guys. and i was a twig (6'0, 160 lbs) i was thisclose to doubling my body weight on the bench. I got 305 on two different occasions.

last time i tried benching 225, i got one rep. that was 2009, so i'll probably get 0 now.

[Darth Biscuit]

IDK how many total pull ups I could do... every other back day, I do 3 or 4 sets of the pull downs then go do 3 sets of 6-8 pull ups with strict form, no cheating. I could probably get 12-14 or so pull ups if I just warmed up and did it. Not too bad at 225 lbs, but could be better...

Those "muscle ups" are pretty impressive.
