Did u guys see this?

http://www.ninersnation.com/2011/2/28/2019766/2011-nfl-combine-stephen-paea-sets-bench-press-record

Oregon State defensive tackle Stephen Paea set an NFL Combine record in the bench press as he pumped 225 pounds a whopping 49 times. NFL.com has a video archive for the Combine and you can watch Paea set the bench press record. It's a pretty entertaining video. The spotter recognizes early on that Paea has come to work ("We've got a live one!") and then as he gets up over 30 reps the rest of the defensive linemen start cheering for him. Although this record-breaking performance will only help his cause against other defensive linemen, it's a great show of camaraderie (with a bleeped out swear word at around 40 seconds thrown in for good measure).

49! Forty-Freakin-Nine!!!! Holy crap!

Saw a post on PFT about a dude at the combine that did 44 reps yesterday...

Also saw a note last week about a guy that tore his pec at the combine doing it... that really sucks. :(

Thought about this old thread reading those bench press notes...

Last July I was maxing 305 and did 225 14 times with no spotter, at the time I was 6'0" and 215... since my rotator cuff tear and surgery I can't lift more than 5 lbs. until April 15... :(

I'm a year out from this post ^ and 14 months out from my surgery and I have full ROM in my arm and have been back in the gym since last June. I'm back up to where I can get 275 up a couple of times and just yesterday my third set of bench I did 225 10X with no spotter. Very happy that I had my shoulder fixed. :)

I can also do 38 pull ups with out stoping.

That is the measure of a man. I've seen guys in the gym bench 300+ and can't do one pullup. I can do about 12-15 but I'm talking real pullup. Overhand, all the way up and all the way down.

I'm working on trying to do this.

back in high school, i bet i could have hung with most of you guys. and i was a twig (6'0, 160 lbs) i was thisclose to doubling my body weight on the bench. I got 305 on two different occasions.

last time i tried benching 225, i got one rep. that was 2009, so i'll probably get 0 now.

IDK how many total pull ups I could do... every other back day, I do 3 or 4 sets of the pull downs then go do 3 sets of 6-8 pull ups with strict form, no cheating. I could probably get 12-14 or so pull ups if I just warmed up and did it. Not too bad at 225 lbs, but could be better...

Those "muscle ups" are pretty impressive.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
