Max bench:[/B] I don't do 1 rep max. I don't like snapping all my shit up (hodgetwins shoutout)...butttttt....[B]last time I did it I did 285 lbs[/B]. I could do more now. I'm into bodybuilding. I think 1 rep max is fukking dumb though, even for bodybuilders.

[B]40-yard dash:[/B] No clue, but I'm way too slow for my liking. :mad:
Age: 29
Height: 5'10
Weight: 215 lb
Max bench: 335
Vertical: Was 33" when I started high school, but I gained 75lbs. over the 4 years bulking for football...now probably more like 26-28"
Wingspan: 5'11"
Standing reach: Who knows. 7 1/2 feet maybe
40-yard dash: Played Fullback/Linebacker in high school and ran 4.85...bet I can't crack 5 seconds now
Forget the super leapers in here. The amount of guys who weigh less than 175, but are benching over 250 is ludicrous. You can go to the gym and watch 20 guys in a row bench and only 4-5 of them will be strong enough to throw on 2 plates. On ISH that 16/20 can throw on two plates for reps...

LOL Olympic caliber athletes sitting behind a keyboard all day posting thousands of times in a month. Wasting all this elite talent...

[QUOTE=donald_trump]your stats seem pretty spot on, unlike the others.
there were a few. 6 foot tall, 6'6 wingspan and only 175lbs or something and still pushing 250lbs plus.
at a bigger height, longer arms and lower weight, its only going to be harder to get something like that up.[/QUOTE]
I'm 6'1 tall, 6'7 wingspan
BUT I have always been solidly built..I listed my max bench at 120kg/265lb (one rep), which was when I was working out really hard and I weighed around 95kg/210lb at the time.
for someone to be pushing 250lb and only weigh 175lb is a tad dramatic I think, especially with long arms like me.

Well, it's not like you have tons of guys claiming to be 6'10.
Myself, I know I'm personally in the top 3 or 4% of humans in height, wingspan, etc... But that's sounds a lot more impressive than it really is. By NBA standards I'm only a SG or a big PG. On an average day, I'm bigger than the majority of people I see, but I'll see maybe 2 or 3 guys my size or bigger. If you really pay attention, you'll see a 6'8 or 6'9 guy here and there. They're not all NBA players.

I haven't read other people's stats, but I've been weight training for 10 years. I'm not claiming I'm a superhuman.
The only things I'm relatively good at in life are cooking, lifting, basketball, women, and video games. :D

I'm not saying you couldn't be that strong, but I am saying that I've never seen a lineup of short skinny guys come into the gym and throw on 2 plates for reps...the chances all of these guys are telling the truth is small. Especially since the majority of them are basketball players. Most guys who are 5'8" 180lbs. and are trying to push their bench max past 250lbs are Defensive Backs. The average 180lb. guy isn't even thinking about lifting 2 plates and a quarter on bench

Of all the statistics people have listed, I've struggled to believe the bench max the most. 40 people claimed to weigh more than 170 lbs. here. Of those 40, 17 claimed they could max more than 225 lbs. Knowing virtually nothing about bench lifting, I'm not sure how crazy that is or not, but it seems like a high number of people.
Just like the vertical measurement, where most people probably provided their all-time highest running max vertical, I'm guessing most folks took their all-time highest bench for this one (unless their post was noted with something like "I used to be able to do ____ but now I can only do _____.")
Also, when I came out to a InsideHoops average of 218 lbs. for bench, that number was taken from the lowest number of respondents for any of the categories. A ton of folks left a "Don't know, don't lift" message for that one. I'd guess if they provided their real lifting numbers alongside the heights, weights, and verts they mentioned, the average bench number would come [i]way[/i] down.

Most basketball players are the opposite of strong lifters absolutely. They have to be or they'll be too slow.
I would be a much better basketball player if my upper body was much lighter. Being built is a big reason why I'm so slow for my size.
I imagine only professional athletes can 1RM bench press 1.5x their weight and still have a 35"+ vert. Probably ISH is just e-stating it up. I've always been more dedicated to bodybuilding than playing basketball. Obviously I'm obsessed with the NBA more than anything though.

I'm not sure how many folks have made the 1.5x body weight claim. 1.5 of 170 would be 255 lbs. Altogether, nine members claimed a max above 250 lbs. There's also nine members who claimed they weight 230 lbs. or more (16 members 220 lbs. or more).
So theoretically, even if the truth is only 5 of the 9 250+ benches are reality, nearly all of them could have come from the 12+ 220 lbs. guys here.
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 245
Wingspan: 6'6"
Bench: 415
Vertical: not sure, maybe 22 inches
Standing reach: not sure, likely 8'6" or so
40 yard: last time I ran it was 6.1. I'm pretty slow
body fat %: Last time I was tested it was 16%, but i've lost 10 pounds so I don't know.
Edit: I suck at basketball, it's hard to move me in the paint, but i'm too short to play down there. I would trade my strength for being even slightly better at ball.

Practice man. Use your strength as an advantage.
Mix that in with good footwork, a good jumpshot, and good hustle, and you'll be a way better basketball player.
