Re: How much can Tiger benchpress?
[ QUOTE ]
lol @ going to health and fitness forum on 2p2 like its the holy grail. you have no clue bro. im an athletic trainer and have seen earl boykins bench 335 when he weighed 145 at eastern mich univ. oh, but thats because he has shorter arms, right? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Tigers Woods is in phenominal shape, and benching 300 for a guy his size is not a big deal, now 350, thats another story. stfu, gg, nh, ul. [/ QUOTE ] lol...oh your a fitness trainer...hahahahahahhahhaahahahahahhahahahahahahh ahahahhahahahhaahhahahahah that makes things a lot clearer.

Re: How much can Tiger benchpress?
I would bet a large sum that Tiger could bench 300.
Some people are definitely more knowledgeable than me on this subject, but nonetheless. I know Tiger had a tiny 28 inch waist 6 years ago (the Asian). He naturally has a fairly scrawny build, to get as big as he is now is pretty amazing (given that he practices golf for 8 hours a day). You also have to take into account that he pushes himself to get better at whatever he sets his mind to, and would have far more discipline than the average person over a sustained period.

Re: How much can Tiger benchpress?

When I started powerlifting, I trained EXCLUSIVELY for strength, I was 6ft 180, and maxed about 250 (this was after a year of training...how long has tiger ben strength training like this?). [/ QUOTE ] That interview quoted earlier was from him in 2000, so I'd say a good 7-8 years. The only reason I can think of that he wouldn't be able to put up 300 is that he doesn't train for a max. It wouldn't surprise me if he could put up 300 if he really needed to. I still voted 260-280 though.

Re: How much can Tiger benchpress?
The better question might be either:
"How many reps can Tiger do w/225?"(IMO 15-20) or "How much could Tiger bench if he quit golfing and dedicated the next few years of his life to building up his one-rep max(no roids)?" (IMO 350-375) Agreed that the only reason that Tiger couldn't do 300 tomorrow morning is that he understands that a pro golfer one-rep maxing out on the bench would be asinine. I wouldn't bet much that he couldn't do it though, and I definitely don't think it would take him long to get there if couldn't do 300 right now. LOL at how people get more emotional over lifting in general & benching specifically than over any other topic. I was as bad as anyone in my day, so I'm hardly pointing fingers.

[/ QUOTE ] I would take this bet if there is anyway to find out this answer, but I am thinking we will never know. There is not a snowball's chance in hell that Tiger can bench 300. I have thought to myself several times, "man Tiger looks jacked out there..." but then I remember that he is wearing a medium shirt to try and look bigger on TV. He is not that big, he just looks big compared to the rest of the skinny pricks on the tour. I would be willing to bet everything I owned that he can't hit 300 on a good day. EDIT: omg I completely agree with guids for once....
