Yeah, especially since I did 18 reps at 225 as a senior in high school....

did 24 at the combine. Nothing like a QB being stronger than his supposed protector.

These SOB's these days is utterly ridiculous. Trenton Richardson makes me feel like the laziest person in the world and I get a few workouts a week in the weightroom and on the track. I first started paying attention to this Combine stuff a few years ago when Vernon Davis was coming out of Maryland; if I recall he put up 42 reps on Bench <--- Totally off the top of my head. I was simply amazed at that, as I couldn't do a single rep @ 225. These athletes are man-bear-freaks now-a-days.
Edit: Yea, why is everything Bold ??

Must be genetics to have this type of muscle strength. Doing 120 lbs, 30 times is difficult. In college I could do 6 to 7 reps of 225, now over 25 years later I'm lucky to do 1 or 2 reps at 225. The strongest kid on our varsity football team could do 12 to 13 reps at 225. Getting over 40 reps is just amazing!!!!

I was able to do 41 reps @ 225 over a two week span.

Here's another AA.com story about Molk's performance:
It's the best performance by a center since online records began being kept for the position in 2005. And what was Molk's reaction as he rose from the bench at Lucas Oil Stadium? "I came off the bench, and I was pissed off," the former Michigan center said. "All the other guys were just like, ‘Oh man that was incredible.’ I was just like, ‘(to hell with) them, it was too easy. Shoulda got way more than that.’ "Everyone thought I was crazy, but it's true because I was slipping around on the bench. I ended up sliding and sliding and sliding all over the place, which killed me, because the more stuck you are on the bench, you can do way more reps. "It’s driving me nuts."
