Bench press is just for show


Yep. If they cared about measuring actual strength, they'd develop a squat or even a clean test.

But those aren't logistically favorable like the bench press. And it could potentially impact running drills.

I think it has limited usefulness as a measuring tool. If nothing else, I think it says more to scouts about who has been putting out in the college weight room for 3-5 years and who has not. Had La'el only done 8-10 reps THEN I think it might be an issue.
