    this is a silly thread. but was it me or did they sweetney couldn't bench 185? or that TJ Ford couldn't bench 150? i don't remember the exact numbers but it was surprising.

    I think Jay Bilas said Ridnour couldnt bench 185 when he was goin on that rant about how he "couldnt guard the chair he was sittting in". Dickie V kept saying "this isnt the olympics, it's basketball" when people questioned TJ's strength.

    Really? I did 185 8 times today after doing a set of 105 20 times and a set of 125 20 times. That 185 felt like 225!

    Manny-
    You should stop doing those BS sets w/ 105 and 110 if you want to get stronger.

    Your supposed to warm up when benching, I believe he is talking about his warmups before he benches 185.

    I can only bench 160 8 times and I bench about 100 16 times for warming up before. I only weigh 155.

    I used to work with the Rocks strength coach. SF is pretty strong form what I remember, but nothing to write home about. MoT was pretty strong, as was Collier. Cato wasn't bad either. One thing to remember about B-ball players is that taller people typically can't bench a whole lot because of their longer arms. of course you will find anomalies.

    I can hit 405:)
