I think he's BSing to motivate the Seahawk's horrible performance. But you never know...

So Gillespie admits he sometimes gets lathered up with yells and screams and exhortations of players during their workouts.

I know there are only a few hundred men in the US who can bench 500 pounds. That being said 500 pounds 37 times would come out to be a max of about 850-900 pounds?

Now, that is a shit load of weight. I have never heard of anyone ever benching this much.

What is the worlds record?

benching 500 pounds one time is one thing, but doing it 37 times in a row....my god. I think maybe this guy is exagerating a little?

Greg B · 06-18-2003, 02:55 PM

Heck, I could bench 500. Did it a year and a half ago. I was trying to see how much I could bench and stopped at 475. Then came back and tried again and did it. Freakin' scary.

I'm going back to the gym this month to go for the gold and see if I can hit as close to the world's record as possible.

ONe thing I've found out is strength is one thing, but FORM is the winner.

4 times at 400 and 2 at 500. But 37 times at 500??????

I dunno....

It is a lot of weight, but last time I checked a few years ago I believe a gentleman named Ted Phillips had the record at 781lbs.

You would be suprised at how strong you can get! It's not size either. It's more bone density, tendon strength and 'then' muscle quality plus damn good form or you might hurt yourself.

I shoulder press 200 easy and although I'm 230lbs it was tougher doing that than bench pressing. Each person is different.

To tell you the truth I got stronger on a vegetarian diet. Scary strong on a vegetarian diet and felt better too!

Big E · 06-19-2003, 07:03 AM

Well Greg, I too have benched over 500 (505 to be exact) and I did it eating a lot of steak, so that just goes to show you it has very little to do with diet. =)

Bench pressing is MOSTLY about join/ligament tie-ins.. I've always had to struggle with my bench (it's always been significantly behind my squat and deadlift).

However, I've got a friend who's got the perfect tie-in's and benches as much as I do at a lot less bodyweight. Unfortunately, he's not nearly as strong in other lifts. (shrug)

[Edited: BTW, 37 reps at 500 lbs is bullshit. By my calculations, that would be a 1RM of somewhere between 1050 and 1100 lbs - IMPOSSIBLE!]

Chris · 06-19-2003, 07:06 AM

and i dont really care

BobbyR · 06-19-2003, 07:26 AM

"Drug Free" might be a little stretch of the truth but I believe the guy benched 700 lbs.

playa · 06-19-2003, 07:44 AM

This reminds me of the show on HBO talking about the big NFL lineman are killing themselves by being so big,

i remember over ten years ago in the NFL 300 pounds was considered over weight

nowadays 350 is like the standard

i gonna shit when in another 10 years 450 pound lineman will be normal

[illnet]-Romeo · 06-19-2003, 08:00 AM

Hey BP you sure he didn't fuck you?? He is a tad bit bigger

Theo · 06-19-2003, 08:18 AM

I doubt if he can even bench 300 pounds 37 times

BobbyR · 06-19-2003, 09:22 AM

In that picture he's benching 680 lbs. 15 plates at 45lb each, 45 lb bar and 2 1/2 lb clips.

How could he be doing un uneven number of plates...think about that one

Also, the weight you said...would add up to 721 lbs.

I'd say the plates are 30-35's...and try 14 plates

MaxDent · 06-19-2003, 11:14 AM

Great, when are they going to win a game?

eraman · 06-19-2003, 11:26 AM

I do not know that seems alittle far fetched to me that means he lifted 18500 pounds in one day I think your whole body would shut down for just being flat out exhausted. I am not buying it

I mean to write 14 plates you got me man!!

Those are 45 lbs plates....Unless he's using fake plates.

Big E · 06-19-2003, 12:31 PM

He's benching 675 in the picture.. but I still don't buy his bullshit story of 37 reps at 500, considering his 1RM max (peaking at content time mind you!) is 700.8 lbs.

When I was squatting 675x3 (belts, wraps, no suit), I was squatting 495 for 12-15 reps. It just doesn't equate.

I used to work in a factory opening 40 lb boxes and stacking the contents for use on assembly line. Some days I would move more weight than that, and I was only 16 at the time.

http://www.wabdl.org/world_bench_records.htm

The site listed above has stats on bench presses. There IS a Bill Gillespie from Washington State listed who tops the boards. If it's him he is indeed a world class athlete and I have to agree with his quote in the article posted at the top of the thread about age and strength.

I learned form and diet work best for me and my bench has increased every year.

But 500lbs at 37 reps is like biblical strength.

huey · 06-19-2003, 06:24 PM

Whats your bench?

Sama · 06-19-2003, 06:28 PM

Quote:

Gillespie, the team's newest addition to the strength-and-conditioning staff, is in the unusual habit of wearing a mouthpiece when he bench presses. Not that anybody is going to walk up and punch him. But because otherwise, when straining for that last rep, he tends to break off his teeth.

Hammer · 06-19-2003, 06:28 PM

What they didn't tell you in that article was that he actually exploded right after that picture was taken.

"Yeah, we were scraping pieces of him off the wall for three days after it happened man."

Fletch XXX · 06-19-2003, 06:32 PM

"It's like he's giving us the guide to getting big and strong. He wants us moving a lot of weight really quickly, in a short time, because that's what football is like. My bench press has gone from 360 to 440 in a month and a half. I've never been this strong."

the 'guide' is called steroids eh beefcake!

BEEFCAKE!

Scroll down his son is in there as well......37 reps seems like a lot.
But you never know. As far as all the "formulas" saying 400lbs. 10X = 700 lb max. That is a very flawed theory. I know some guys that free climb.....They weigh 130lbs.....And can bench 135lbs. a million times........But can't lift an ounce over 200lbs max. There bodies are developed for stamina at a given resisitance.(Their body weight) That theory does not fly with me. You can make the same comparison with runners.....If he can do a 100meters in 9.9(his max.) he should be able to run 5 miles in X time....Bullshit. It is all about the way you train, and what you are trying to achieve. He may have developed a new method of training . Who knows ?

True Jason, but the formula I've used with great success is:

Max = Weight + (Weight * Reps * .03)

It's a bell curve, with 80% of the population falling within the parameters of that formula, give or take 1-2%. Now there may be some that fall drastically short, or go significantly above what that formula dictates, but only by 5-7% MAX.

Try it - it's pretty damn accurate..
