Bench press

If you are an athlete and this is a major part of your workout, you are wasting your time and energy. I don't know why it is tested at the combine, and i don't know why the meatheads and retards on this board are so obsessed with it as an indicator of the quality of LSU's S&C program. Any excercise that doesn't use the base and core muscles is not very functional for athletics. This is lost on the bird-legged workout warriors.

It has to be due to a lesser chance of injury.
Can you imagine squatting 305 for max reps at a combine? Or cleaning 225 for max reps?
It's probably the biggest muscle group they can test which has the smallest chance of injury.

Then you have NO IDEA how to lift properly. When done effectively, the press lifts are whole body lifts. I'm sure you knew that though....

you most never have played oline. bench press builds your upper body and develops the brute strength needed to man handle someone. bench press is an overall measurement of how strong a person is. put someone in a wrestling match between one person that can only bench 180 vs. someone who benches 325 and see who wins that one everytime. bench press means a lot. if it didn't, don't you think the NFL would've thought of another way to measure someones strength?
