i am willing to make the following bet if anyone is interested. not that it matters to the person who might accept the bet, but i've never done this nor tried it, and i train pretty much the exact opposite.

bench press my body weight 300 times in one day, even money.

bench press my body weight 500 times in one day with odds.

to be performed in either dallas or LV for substantial dollars.

Since you said you train for opposite, it means you train for strength. Which means if you weigh 225, then benching 225lbs 13times an hour for 24 hrs (300x) is cake, (unless you can only bench like 240max)

500x is harder but I'd say thats about the point muscle stamina is going to come into play.

Knowing your bench max would make this more likely to happen.

I think I could do this with 75% of my max bench.

current- 415 @ 215 this is what he maxes, and weighs.


Im pretty sure i remember seeing those pro challenges with nfl players, benching 225 as many times as possible before giving out, and Im pretty sure I never saw anyone hit 30. I think this is much much tougher than you are thinking it is. 20 times per hour, for 24 hours @ 215?

i was 213 yesterday morning, 218 after dinner.

i think 2-1 on 500xBW would be a fair line. to put it into relative figures:

i dont train for reps
iirc i'm stronger than 99.9% of all people in bench press
my last max out was one month ago, 415
i've been off for three weeks w/ the WSOP and such
most athletes cant bench press their BW 10x


i'd want the following: elbow wraps after say, 200 reps? unlimited energy/caffeine drinks, 24 hours, any normal shirt, i.e., longsleeve, tanktop, and i get to change shirts if i want, ben-gay and anti inflammatories, no competition style bench presses, i.e., no pause reps, just a normal bench press, a spotter for liftoffs and help racking the weight only, and i'd want to weigh in as they would in a fight, so i could drop maybe five pounds or whatever in a sauna the night before and then start benching the next morning.

i'll be in LV aug. 5-9, and if i can get 2-1 i think $5K sounds like a good price.


willing to negotiate/hear other terms.
