How many times can you bench press 2 plates (225lbs) with perfect form non-stop?

[iloverachel]

The NFL combine's highest numbers (watch someone do 51 reps)

Some facts I have gathered
-4 is lowest in NFL combine
-51 is highest in NFL combine
-2 plates for reps is rare at most commercial gyms
-Even more rare is someone who does it and is not high bodyfat or powerlifter type physique

I find 2 plates strong and respectable. How many reps can you do?

I believe it has to be completed within 30 seconds also unless they changed that. I did 27 once in 30secs back in my 20s, I was never a strong bencher.

I don't remember back when I was younger...but now at 61 I can bench 225 for 8-10 reps...

I spotted by buddy Jason, he did 49 reps with it, and 23 reps w/ 315. (He weighed about 280 at the time).

Define perfect form.
The combine guys literally free fall the negative
Doing half the lift IMO

 

[Alvie]

30 reps

 

[ASAPBlocky]

^^^these replies are always funny to me

..as if you'r going to "take credit away" from the strength & endurance required for these athletes to press 225# (..in any capacity) for those numbers

.

I hear ya and agree.
Only mentioned that cause OP said “with perfect form” in the title of the thread.

The combine guys use sloppy form...some day one of them will tear a pec...

Billy Price from Ohio state tore his 2 years ago at the combine

I believe 26 reps is my best with 2 plates. Weighing around 240

They must have used dominion to count

One more than you...

 

[lookslikesausage]

what's the deal with lockouts at the Combine? are they counting only locked out reps?

 

[goback2013]

Just did this the other day.. 20 reps

 

[hawkeyes56]

I am not going to claim perfect form but my form is pretty solid and I stroked out 40 on my 49th birthday about a month ago, was hoping for 49. Goal is to hit a 500# bench this year and then leave the heavy weights for the youngsters.

Personally hit 56 at one point when I have a private workout back in the day with the Titans. The first 30-35 reps were always with one single breathe...then rest at the top bang out a few more and so on. Have to keep the weight moving and keep that time under tension low. Im gonna have to try a rep out with 225 again to see what I can do now. Maybe 30-35 the first try. It’s all about the rhythm
