    There are NFL prospects that don’t put up 8-12 reps at 225 during the combine, and those dudes are borderline superhuman. Like I know this is a joke thread on a meme post, but I just wanted to provide some context on just how difficult it actually is to bench press 225 pounds (really really really hard)

      Completely fair addition. Yeah it’s hard, but probably achievable with consistent and long term training for most men.

      That’s nonsense. I can bench 225 for 8 reps, I am an average human man. To prove my point I will now fight everyone in the NFL. Thank you for your support.
