[QUOTE="IE2016ZTR, post: 600203, member: 1587"] Those numbers are not going to be posted. You could look at the NFL draft numbers, google the average 1RM max by position for college athletes - I think a few dated studies should pop up for this, you can also google other strength topics related to college football athletes and checkout a CSCS book. If our defensive/offensive linemen cannot rep 225 - 20 times, that means their 1RM is probably less than 340-350lbs. Someone who can rep 225 - 20 times should be able to 1RM 390. So you do not think I making these numbers up - there are charts for this stuff. Also, you rep max, which I think is 3 reps for the team shouldn't ebb and flow by 50lbs, more like 5-20lbs. Nutrition plays a very important role, here. While benching 350lbs is strong compared to the average man or rower :D, it isn't that strong compared to the defensive lineman bull-rushing you in the 3rd quarter when you are tired and need that push strength and vice-versa on the defensive side for our players trying to get past a 320lb+ offensive lineman. Winning starts in the weight room. Poor strength is not the reason why our defensive looks like it is being manhandled last season or years prior but it does play a factor in the grand scheme of things. So yes, it is uncomfortable that only 7 players can rep 225 - 20 times. [/QUOTE]
