What? Nobody could bench 225 100 times. And definitely not a body builder or powerlifter.
Ronnie Coleman supposedly does 225 75 times. And he is a body builder. Please educate yourself. I didn't literally mean 100 but I just meant They would make these guys look like kids in the gymnasium.
Also there is guys lifting at 185 lifting 225 40+ times Aswell. I'm not saying these guys arent beasts. But to compare them to
Guys who do strictly strength training and or body building is foolish.

I'm probably going to get flamed for this as well, but that's not heavy weight considering their size. Don't get me wrong, they are both great players. I'm just not impressed.
You want to be impressed about a football player lifting heavy? Try Larry Allen, he was benching close to 700lbs.

youre comparing two totally different sports. powerlifters are training for 1 rep max's. these guys are doing the opposite, moderate weight till failure reps. they are both difficult, but your training style and program would cater to one or the other. the football guys are doing lifting programs with more endurance and drop sets obviously.

You just said lets see a power lifter do 225 30 or 34? Like you were saying they couldn't do it?

From: HOU - yeah, you know the rest.
I like it when people who don't know what they are talking about argue and additionally they fail at reading comprehension. It always makes for interesting internet debates.

I can't believe you are comparing Cushing and watt to Ronnie Coleman. One is training for explosive movements and endurance while the other is training for cosmetics.
Not taking away anything from Coleman or any other body builder- I've met him once before at the Arnold classic and what they can do with their bodies is amazing.
Still- watt and Cushing are training for a sport that has a lot of physical contact- completely different scenario.

I'm just trying to point out their foolishness. They are completely different goals and or sports. But when you try to compare strength or amount of reps @ 225 you need to be damn certain a competitive body builder or Power lifter would make these guys look like children.
200+ lbs is a lot of weight, i don't care who you are. that combined with the speed at which they are doing this and the fact that this is at the end of the workout is very impressive. keep in mind that the average untrained adult male can only lift around 150 for 1 rep.
sure, i've seen guys lift twice this at the gym but they move slow as dirt and generally look like they're shitting themselves in the process. agility and muscle endurance is just as important, if not more so than raw strength
