Common Misconception
Common Misconception
[W]hen Justin Ernest of Eastern Kentucky set a Combine bench press record with 51 reps in 1999, he wasn’t drafted. And Ernest’s achievement has been forgotten to such an extent that when Oregon State’s Stephen Paea hit 49 reps last year, it was widely reported as an all-time record.

41 is amazing.

Awesome... & a bummer
Awesome... & a bummer
That is amazing, but I suspect he's a bit disappointed. He said in the ESPN story on he and Martin that he'd done 39 reps after an entire workout. I suspect he was hoping for a bigger jump. Still, amazing. I hope his potential is seen and translates to an decent draft position.

When lifting a weight so much
When lifting a weight so much
When lifting a weight so much less than what you train at you really don't notice as big of a difference between rep #'s fresh than after training. Hitting 39 after a workout does not necessarily mean you can do 10 more fresh.
41 reps is freaking crazy though.. Congrats! Goodluck to MM.

Exactly, the theory is flawed...
Exactly, the theory is flawed...
Just like if you go rep a 50 lb bench press to exhaustion. Eventually trying to lift just 50 lbs is just as hard as lifting 500 lbs.

Misreported record
Misreported record
The record is actually 51. This is from FOXSports.com:
Justin Ernest of Eastern Kentucky repped 225 pounds 51 times in 1999, but he wasn’t drafted. Ernest’s record was nearly forgotten last year as Oregon State’s Stephen Paea hit 49 reps last year, which was widely reported as the new all-time record.

Believe it or not, Girl Scouts of America changed the name of those cookies from Samoas to Carmel Delites a few years ago. The good thing is that they did not alter the deliciousness of said cookies.

AA.com has an article up by K. Meinke.
AA.com has an article up by K. Meinke.
It contains the following:
For comparison, Wisconsin center Peter Konz posted 18 reps in the bench press, and he's projected to be a first-round pick. Konz said shortly after the lift that at the center position, too much shouldn't be made of combine measurables such as bench-press reps. "There's so many variables, I don't chalk it up much," he said. "I try to use my technique, but that's something I'll work out." When asked about Molk's 41 reps -- more than twice what he posted in the same event -- Konz said: "It'll translate a little bit (to NFL play), but at the same time, you need to know what kind of football player a guy is."
Yeah, Rimington, All American, played the Sugar Bowl on one foot. What a silly attempt to cover for the difference in their strength. All truths, to be sure, but weak.
Ooh, I feel emboldened and embiggened today!

February 24th, 2012 at 6:24 PM |

Yeah...
I agree with Konz. Strength isn't a big deal for Centers, and especially "pushing straight out with your arms" strength.
Wait... what?

Molk is a beast and hopefully
Molk is a beast and hopefully he goes somewhere with the opportunity to start within the next couple of years. Also, I really hope the Lions don't draft Mike Adams like I have seen some Mock Drafts projecting. First, he went to OSU which makes him undraftable and Second,19 reps at 225 for an expected first round offensive tackle is pathetic.
Wasn't the record 38?
