Maybe I am just being jealous here, but I sense some serious e-stat exaggerations going on here.
Nah, you can say it. It's mostly bullshit. I did 180 reps with 225lbs in zero gravity while I was on the Russian space station Mir. See? It's easy! And fun too!

Not me. I can do about 6 repswow. you guys are some strong dudes! that's impressive. 30, 40, 50 reps??? jeeeezzzz....
Lets see some videos, because most of the talk is bullshit. I have been in alot of gyms in my day and have trained with some real deal jacked motherfuckers and have not seen alot of these claims fulfilled. Post some vids guys, Im very curious who can do more then 25 reps with 225 without bouncing the weight.
I think benching for reps depends a lot on training and anabolics. Anabolics definitely seem to increase my ability to do reps with heavy weight more than they do my absolute strength. When I was in college, I trained my bench once a week and did a little assistance work on another day. Due to testing, I only did two LIGHT oral only cycles in the summer. My bench went from a natural 430 at age 19 to 530 at age 23 after those two cycles, weighing a soft 305. when training for the combine, I got 31 reps in training and 29 in Indy. Obviously i was tested there so i couldn't be on anything. The summer before that was when I hit the 530, and I could only do 8 with 405. That was years ago. Since then, I have juiced my ass off, gained probably 40-50lbs of muscle, and have since done 225 for 39 on incline, 45 on bench, 315 for 23 on incline, 365 for 23 on bench, and 405 for 16 on Bench. I really don't think i still could have done a whole lot more than 530 when I did those numbers recently, unless i had tried to train specifically for strength. ANOTHER REALLY IMPORTANT THING I HAVE FOUND TO INCREASE YOR REPS ON BENCH OR OTHER IS TO TRAIN THAT MUSCLE TWICE PER WEEK INSTEAD OF ONCE. THAT REALLY SEEMS TO INCREASE THE ENDURANCE OF IT.
I HIT 225 FOR 32 REPS LAST WEEKEND AT A LOCAL pl MEET. FIRST TIME I HAVE TRIED THAT IN A WHILE.
I HAVE SEEN JEREMY HOORNSTRA- WHO HOLDS THE ALL TIME BIGGEST BENCH PRESS IN THE 242 POUND CLASS WITH 635- SAW HIM HIT 675 TOUCH AND GO, THEN DROPPED DOWN AND HIT 405 FOR 20 REPS, THEN DROPPED DOWN AND HIT 225 FOR 60!
HERE IS THE VIDEO OF HIS 405 FOR 20:
