Ok, no big deal, not worth arguing. See you from cenla, come to victory gym in Jena. Let you count. If you are satisfied yoi can buy me lunch. If be dont hit 40 again vise versa.

Lol no it is definitely not normal. If dude is really doing that at 18, he definitely has a future in some type of powerlifting or strongman competitions if he chooses to do so.

Most I’ve done is 22, and my max around then was 335-340.

Probably 2 years ago when I did that.

I would do 20 reps with 450 lbs
Those are some OK warm-up sets.

Certainly wouldn't call it normal. That's a ton of reps. What's the kid's weight?

I used to do it every year during the week of the combine just to see where I compared. It didn't matter other than giving me something to work toward each spring.

He was listed at 275 last year. Told me he about 285 now. Coaches want him about 280 when he gets to camp.

anythings possible. just not normal.

I don't work out with a partner and dont have a spot so I can't really go to failure. I tried this a few times after my bench sets a few workouts ago. I only got to 20 but that was after 4 sets and last set was 2 reps at 350. This is on a cut and i struggled. lol. Weighing 204 at 41 and natty

Also wanted to say you can have a pretty strong 1 rep bench and be shite for stamina and vice versa. Depends on how you train.
