the pro day thread on rss has turned into a "how much I can bench" discussion bc too many bros are disappointed in Allens 8 reps

He only did 8?

Edit - I should've kept reading the thread.

Haha. Having super long arms is maybe the biggest disadvantage possible for bench numbers

It's fine to keep bench. It's the measuring of reps that is dumb.

what does this even mean

Most weight racks now in college weight rooms have camera systems on them so they can measure the distance you are moving the bar.

This allows them to measure the amount of work in joules that was done in a set of lifts.

So some short stocky guy with a big chest that moves the bar half the distance has to do twice as many traditional reps to match the work of someone else.

They also have time in these systems so they can measure power in watts.

You could actually compare athletes if they did the lift and then we had a list of how many watts each athlete generated.

e.g.
Samouri Toure generated 12,000 watts in his bench session and CTB generated 14,000 watts.

You would think they could hook something up. Hell, the Tonal that I lift on at home measures your wattage output on every lift. Granted, the most you can bench with it is 200, although that feels like about 225-230.

I know the NFL talked about doing it for the combine but they didn't want equipment getting in the way of TV viewing. It's a silly show for the fans at this point.

Looks like Peru has a leg up on development
