Your combine - bench press

Most I ever maxed in college on bench was 450 lbs. not sure what that would translate into with 225 reps. I used to do sets of 10 with 225 - 275 lbs.

Squat max was 565

Incline bench max was 325

Power clean max was 315

Today, my max would be about 8 lbs on all those lifts.

At a 450lb max, you were probably at least at 25x 225lbs.

I'm exactly backwards... I'm way stronger now than when I was younger... I didn't really start lifting until I was like 24 or so... and didn't really get into it until a few years after that. I work harder now at 38 than I ever did when I was younger. If I hadn't torn my rotator cuff last year, I think I would be up to at least a 350 max by now...

I changed routines every 4 weeks, actual prefer dumbbells as you can go deeper in the press, also works on those stabilizing muscles more. More freedom to hit different angles, particularly good for getting all three heads of the triceps.

I use to do the same to shock my body.

I use to work out with 210 all the time but never really maxed to see.

I feel your pain ....last time I was at the gym (1/5/11) I was on my last rep of a preacher curl and heard a loud "snap" and watched my bicep shoot up to my shoulder like it was the space shuttle Discovery taking off. Seems my bicep did not like being attached to my bone anymore. Worst experience of my life.

After a $25K surgery that left half my arm numb for life most likely, I now get to go to physical therapy 3 times a week to learn how to do fun things like open and close my hand. In about 3 months I will begin weight training with 1lb. dumbells that will most likely be pink. Yipee!

I will never try to max out in weight training again. Especially not on the bench press....saw a guy detach his pec muscle one time doing that. Nastiest thing I have ever seen.

This is why I do multiple reps of light weights, rather than trying to max it.

Oh and to answer the question - I've no idea, I've never tried to lift 225lbs. Who in their right mind would?!

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By Panther53521 · Posted

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
