And also, how did Ford do the same amount of bench reps as both Faulk and Longeran.


His arms are likely shorter which gives him more leverage...it's harder for long armed people to bench press.

That doesn't really have anything to do with it for him. He's a workout warrior. He was top 5 of the team in bench max and I think he squated the most as well. He also was one of the strongest for power clean.

Also, it's not unusual for leaner athletes to have more explosive power. The bench press is an explosive movement.

I'd actually expect a lean, but stocky, 220-pounder to be able to outrep a bulky 300-pounder at 225.
