I really wanted to get in the gym tonight and test out on 225lbs. - NFL Combine style. I hit 225lbs for 21 reps a week or so ago, after my working sets. I thought I was going to go in there and murder it for something in the high-20's/low-30's. Not so much. I only got 22 clean reps with it. I really thought I'd get it for more; I guess my muscular endurance isn't quite there yet. I'll try it again in a few weeks. Aaron Curry was the first linebacker drafted into the NFL in 2009. He benched 225lbs for 25 reps at the Combine. Not too shabby. I think I can do better...
