Title: Max Bench Press - Kevin Durant and others Post by: dystopia on June 08, 2007, 01:00:08 AM This story is a little late, but I heard it discussed on the radio earlier today.
So Kevin Durant can't lift 185 lbs at the NBA draft camp, but which of these numbers do you believe? George W. Bush benches more than Kevin Durant http://100percentinjuryrate.blogspot.com/2007/06/george-w-bush-and-lot-of-other-guys.html Quote President Bush: 5 reps of 185 lbs. Brady Quinn: Max - 350 lbs. and 28 reps of 225 lbs. Yao Ming: Max - 300 lbs. Former Cowboys offensive lineman Larry Allen: Max - 700 lbs. Former NHL hockey goon Tony Twist: Max - 405 lbs. Refrigerator Perry: Max - 465 lbs. LaDainian Tomlinson: Max - 430 lbs. The Rock: Max - 425 lbs. Reggie Bush: Max - 335 lbs. Matt Leinart: Never did one (Somehow I'm not surprised).

Michael Vick: Max - 335 lbs. Tedd Ginn Jr.: Max - 250 lbs. Former wrestler Lex Luger: 5 reps of 405 lbs. Actor Jack Lemmon: Claimed Max - 300+ lbs.

The lengths you guys will go to to make George Bush look like a *humid grotto*.

But I bet most are although I have no idea how much badasses can bench. I'm more in the Matt Leinhart territory. :'(
Title: Re: Max Bench Press - Kevin Durant and others Post by: Aske on June 08, 2007, 07:54:19 AM a few years ago aske 1x225 did 195x4
sadly aske hasn't touched weights much since :-\ Title: Re: Max Bench Press - Kevin Durant and others Post by: Spanky on June 08, 2007, 09:53:35 AM I once did 5 push-ups and I weigh over 200. Does that count for anything?
Title: Re: Max Bench Press - Kevin Durant and others Post by: spacey on June 08, 2007, 01:09:04 PM I know a guy who worked out with Karl Malone a few times. He claims Karl could max upwards of 500 lbs. (Knowing this guy, he inflates everything by about 10-15% so I'd guess real-life was somewhere in the low to mid 400s, but still...)
Back when I actually worked out religiously, my one-rep max was about 210. Not that Impressive I realize, but hey, at least I tried, so screw you! Title: Re: Max Bench Press - Kevin Durant and others Post by: stegerman on June 08, 2007, 07:13:19 PM That Malone stat wouldn't surprise me, he's friggin huge.
Back when I was a gymnast in college (insert joke here) I benched 240 X 1. Not bad for a short guy. Title: Re: Max Bench Press - Kevin Durant and others Post by: Seamus on June 09, 2007, 01:11:05 AM We're actually wondering in Seattle if this isn't one of those pre draft rumors that you hear about, it's almost like someone is trying to scare another someone from drafting this kid.
Even if it's true we have to draft him, he definitely needs to bulk up and hit the weight room (not necessarily in that order), the kid just might be a franchise player, and for a team that desperately needs a superstar to maybe save the franchise, besides he's not done growing yet.

A long, long time ago I saw Jimmy Osmond try to bench press an empty bar, and he needed help from his spotter! [sm_shock] Wouldn't have believed it myself had I not seen it with my own two eyes.
