Skeletor Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 So i keep seeing guys on Youtube doing 100kg bench tests. Can anyone tell me what the goal of it is? Is there supposed to be a required amount per bodyweight or just max reps touching chest and keeping in contact with floor and bench?

AZIDE Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 So i keep seeing guys on Youtube doing 100kg bench tests. Can anyone tell me what the goal of it is? Is there supposed to be a required amount per bodyweight or just max reps touching chest and keeping in contact with floor and bench?remember seeing this years ago also on youtube. isnt it a component for amerian football selction/trials or some similar faggy shit? max reps of 225Ib/100kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phedder Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Yeah, it's part of the combine testing for college football players. Probably the most useless test they do to actually determine the value of a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most useless test they do to actually determine the value of a player. True that. Thought it was some sort of muscular endurance test . Maybee ill give it a crack and see where im at. Would be good to see a few of the bigger guys on here smash out the reps and post a vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundsgood Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 We did have a comp a couple of years back at most reps @ 125kg.HarryB cleaned up that one with like 30 odd reps I think?New comp time? I will sponsor a prize. Pseudonym I'll PM you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Jesus, 30 Reps at 125? Yeah that sounds like a plan ill get in on it. Wont do many but it will give me a benchmark to work on for the next year to try and beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundsgood Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Most reps at 100kg. Winner will be worked out with a Glossbrener formula or similar so bodyweight and age plays a factor in the resultsJust waiting to hear back from Pseudonym before going ahead with it.

soundsgood Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yeah bro high reps so form can be 7/10. Just needs to touch chest not bounced and pretty much full lockout.What do you reckon?I'll throw some Muscle Fuel, Protein bars and singlets into the prize bag. Good lead in to the GPC bench comp on the 15th of February here in Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realtalk Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Sounds very good, though don't know what age has to do with the formula. Body weight and reps formula would be best but I'll do it either or... I'm old now so prob be advantageous lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZIDE Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 dat feel when sore elbows...still will give it a go.anyway, who on here is doing the GPC bench comp thing in hamilton that hamish mentioned? im considering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundsgood Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 The age thing only comes into play when you are over 40 I think Tom. Although bench press is usually a lift you can keep getting better with age.Would love to have you compete at the GPC bench comp Azide. Drop me a line on FB if you're keen. We are hyping up some of our match ups. There will be a great showdown in the under 90s where we have 2 lifters who will bench 170+ Tom has verbally commited. Just waiting for the registration bro!

Rebel101 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi Guys, what about us females, please do not tell me that we have to do 100kg !!!. Do not think I could even get one out at 75kg ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZIDE Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 think the comp you guys just did was instead of this one. i didnt post vid for the 5 min one but got 20 reps first set @103.75kg weight on bar (asymetrical). ppl should just give this a go anyway. f*ck prizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
