When you say someone bench presses a certain amount is this the maximum it can lift for one rep or does it have to have a minimum number of reps to qualify as his max lift?

Thanks pal.

Paver:

A true 1RM is just that, the most a person can lift for 1 repetition. However, for safety reasons, and for other reasons, it is often better for the general population to perform say a 3 or 5 rep max. There are then charts which convert that 3 or 5 rep weight into a fairly accurate 1RM.

I looked up one of these charts online. For my 8 reps of bench press at 275 lb the equivalent 1RM is 344 lbs.

I'm sorry but I have seen Tiger at a golf tournament up close. The guy is skinny, not big. Taller than average and lean looking would be the best description. His arm was about half the size of mine. His bone structure doesn't look like it could handle that load. Plus, I can tell you from experience, extra muscle really hurts your golf game. I cannot get a full swing like everyone else because my arm hits my chest on the back swing and on the follow through. I doubt Tiger works with enough load to be able to max with that poundage.

**pavyracer** · 12-15-08, 03:12 PM

Seer it could be possible that Tiger bench presses 350 lbs. If you look at the picture of pool boy he looks skinny compared to Brock Lesnar but I can assure you he bench presses 344 lbs. Pool boy weighs 215 lbs 6'-2".

That's probably fairly close Pavy. People differ so it is not exact depending on the majority of your muscle fiber type. People with more type II B fibers lifting 275 for 8 reps may have an even higher max than 344. You also have to take into account their training level, etc.

How To Swing Like Tiger Woods? His Secret Gym Workout Finally Exposed. - Be Healthy Be Fit Be Strong

Lol, here's an article with spy shots of Tiger benching and everything! I think he's lifting 225 in the pics.

rumor said that Woods was bench pressing about 300 pounds (about 136 kilogram). Many doubt so.

it's possible but not likely. There's no doubt that Tiger has plenty of fast twitch muscle from the sheer force he generates in his swings. However, it looks to me that alot of his power is generated from the stretch reflex also. I would say that Tiger is more flexible than any other golfer which is extremely beneficial on his drives. After looking at him though, his levers are long which is not conducive to heavy poundages on the bench. JMO.

If Tiger's only got 25s on each side on the Hammer Strength shoulder press then I can guarantee you he cannot bench 300 or even 250 for that matter. I couldn't even get a warm up with that.

It looked like he had 225 on the flat bench. He holds his hands in real close together and he has long arms so at this point I agree that he can't bench 350. His max is probably around 275 imo.

**pavyracer** · 12-15-08, 03:42 PM

Sorry guys. But how do you know if Tiger was lifting at his max in the pictures? It's possible he lifts 350 lbs. He is not the average guy that goes to the gym twice a week. He has a personal chef and personal trainer and he fukks a hot wife every morning before he works out. Fukking a hot wife before working out can easily give him 50 lbs more bench presses. Most of the weightlifting is mental strength which Tiger posseses exceptionally. Not all weightlifting is muscle related.

**SlickFazzer** · 12-15-08, 03:44 PM

We will never know for sure. But he does have a hot ass wife, which I bet he does fukk every morning. I hope that they have dirty, nasty sex every day, and that he talks dirty to her while they are doing it.

could Flozell Adams sink an 13 footer on the 18th at Augusta?

Well if he jumps up and down on the green he can make the ball move towards the hole and if he signs the wrong card I dare The Prick to disqualify him.

That got us talking about can he do it, we all agreed that we don't think Tiger can bench press more than 300 tops.
I just don't see it, i don't know if that commentator was full of shit, or it is a real stat that he knows.

If you don't think Tiger woods can bench press 350lbs, you are retarded.

This guys is the most trained athlete in the world, 350lbs?

**Chi_archie** · 05-10-12, 08:30 PM

what's his bench these days?

**konck** · 05-10-12, 09:12 PM

My buddy Art does 560 no roids....but he is a tree trunk

**Chi_archie** · 07-20-12, 09:21 PM

looking thick in the grey sweater

but I doubt he can one hand snatch over 100 pounds

**SteelRain** · 07-20-12, 09:40 PM

the guy is a known steroid user

explains his sex addiction and reckless actions

dude is pure garbage and could never get past 180+ lbs clean

can't wait for his liver/kidneys to fail.

**TheCalculator** · 07-20-12, 10:10 PM

Only if he uses extra-strength, super-deluxe Cell-tech behind closed doors.

**BIGDAY** · 07-20-12, 10:12 PM

245 is my guess. Currently

**BigDeem5** · 07-20-12, 10:13 PM

He can do 315 probably .

**grekos** · 07-20-12, 11:48 PM

Anyone that does alot of weight knows the side affects,getting hurt.I'd bet any amount he can't because he doesn't want or train that much because of what has an can happen when maxing out or going heavy.

**BALISTIK** · 07-20-12, 11:51 PM

i don't know about now, but in 2000 i know for a fact he was benching 300.

**Balco10** · 07-21-12, 12:11 AM

If he doing 350 + then he is on the juice or HGH. No testing in golf.

Gym strength is horrible for a golfer's short game

Some people are just naturally strong. Some call it "retard" strength. I know guys that can bench 300-350 and never weight trained.

Thanks for your in depth analysis dipshit

Because he must have started working out between now and rounds one and two when he played great

He might could do it on coke.

Sumbich would get crushed like a beatle bug.

**Tchocky** · 07-22-12, 06:15 PM

Doubt it. Maybe when he was younger. His body is breaking down every year.

**k13** · 07-22-12, 06:20 PM

Like a 6' stick is going to bench 350lbs

Get real.

**stevenash** · 07-22-12, 06:49 PM

Maybe when he was juicing he could.

**Seaweed** · 04-06-17, 02:01 PM

No chance
