For maximal reps:

Bench Press 225 lbs

*Use a proper warm starting with the bar, start working your way up to 225 lbs on the bench press.
*Perform max reps of 225 lbs
*You get 2 chances to perform the test. Rest as needed between the 2 maximal efforts.

*The bench press is a test of strength -- 225 pounds, as many reps as the athlete can get. What the pro scouts are also looking for is endurance. Anybody can do a max one time, but what the bench press tells the pro scouts is how often the athlete frequented his college weight room for the last 3-5 years.

*If you are an amateur please use 135 lbs or 185 lbs as the needed scaled weights.
