Exactly. The guy doesnt know what he's talking about. Lifting for football is different than lifting for swimming or soccer.

They lift for soccer?

They lift for stamina, cause they keep running for 90 minutes with insignificant breaks.

Thats because he is after quick burst strength (which is what is involved in football). Same principal as is used in powerlifting. You train HEAVY weight w/ low reps to gain strength. Doing high reps is more for muscle endurance
please ellaborate on why the NFL prefers rep maxes.........this is rhetorical.
you are correct on form-related injuries, but injuries most certainly still occur due to overload.

Nobody on LSU or any other football team has ever benchpressed 640 or even in the 600s. The world raw bench press record is held by Scott Mendellson where he pushed up 715lbs. All Scott does is train BP and that is his life's work. Football players training their whole body and only really lifting heavy in the offseason are never going to approach this number.
There is a video of Larry Allen benching 700 but it is a joke. Allen has 3 spotters and they all have their hands on the bar when he presses. Allen is probably in the high 500s if I had to guess but there is no way to tell after his cheating video.
The only way in the world any College athlete is benching close to 700LBS is if they are lifting shirted and that is very unlikely.

.jordan did 26 but with a wrist injuy; however, even in that case he should've been over 30 as a 600+ lb bench presser.
Steroids have positives and negatives. Negatives included propensity for certain injuries.

Jordan could take whatever he wanted but he never pressed over 600lbs on a legitimate lift I assure you.

yea that was back when steroids were legal

I don't know why we always start this shite..but in the weight room is a plaque with Jordan's name on it with "Bench Press 610", my sister-in-law went on the tour and Moffett himself pointed out the plaque, sorry DanTiger, I am going with Tommy Moffett over you..

I guess he is damn near the world record holder than PianoMan. I believe he was in the 242LB category. That is an amazing accomplishment since he was not a professional powerlifter and took half the drugs and had half the time to lift that these powerlifting pros have. In other words it is B.S.
