Questions About Nfl Combine Bench

Richard asks…

Differences in NFL Combine bench presses?

When I watched the NFL Combine players do bench presses, I saw two different styles. Some pressed the bar all the way, so they had straight arms, and some pressed the bar only about halfway. Their arms were bent.

Now the goal of bench press at the NFL Combine is to get as many reps as possible. I would imagine that the people who only pressed halfway would get more than those who pressed all the way.

Am I right or wrong?

admin answers:

I guess, but the players have different size arms. The rep counts are reviewed anyways.

Mark asks…

I am 6'1 195 lbs. How many times should I be able to bench press 225lbs such as they do in the NFL combine?

Also, for my size and wieght, what would be a good max, 1x lift?
I can do 225lbs 10x and max at 285. I have been steadily increasing every week about 1 rep a week on my combine bench. I was just wondering if I was going on a good pace.

admin answers:

You're about the size of a corner or small receiver in the Combine and most of those guys can do 12-15 reps... The guys that stand out and the RBs about your size usually pump out 20+. Im 6'1 220 and my max is 315 2x.
