Stephen Paea Breaks Bench Press Record with 49 Reps! | 2011 NFL Combine

dont be kissing my head after benching 22 49 times.

@danielryjov this is the kind of reps I’m talking about. How many reps can you do like this with 225, certainly not 100. Maybe 50 to 60 I would love to see it.

Extra credit weight bench;

Amazing

2024 I’m still hyped! Lol

An unreal display of pure power

Combine record is 51. 1999

That is 49 divided by 2. He wasn't locking up below 40.

I like the bedroom style soft whispering of encouragement and the hip thrusting of the spotter

Ronnie Coleman does 72

How old was that bloke

That's pretty strong, but I wonder how many reps he'd get if he didn't bounce it off his chest every rep.

I Did 50 Reps 10 years Ago in my Mid 40's ! Congratulations to this Young Man!

Superman

Blake corum could have done 40 if this was his form.

Back in high school the Samoans were always the strongest kids on our team

Still ain’t the record. Give Justin some credit.

Fun fact: My dad lifts casually and in his prime could hit a max of 440lbs (199kgs). At that time, mine was 360lbs (163kgs). We had a 225lbs contest. I hit 225lbs for 23 reps and thought surely he’d have me beat. He gassed out at 17 reps and was shaking violently. For the life of him, he couldn’t hit another.
That is why I am so impressed by this video. Para has strength and endurance. Legend has it that his max was close to 600lbs.

Came and watched again lol. I love the spotter. Gets me hype lol. Especially when he says now let’s go to work

Seemed to be 4 inches above his chest on most reps minima.

Spotter was sus

Thats crazy

I can only imagine the nasty chest pump he must’ve felt

That is just unbelievable

No matter how many reps the next guy does, he's going to look bad.

He was only a margin away from 50

The guy talking to him isn't helping...

I love the fact that the trainer just goes after 40+ reps « now let’s go to work » like wtf

HHHHHHHHHHHmjHHHHHHH

I'm up next.

He did not break it once he got to 43 he stopped holding it for 5 seconds and continuing does not count

Short arms make benching significantly easier. For a tall guy with long arms you have a huge disadvantage. But the tall guy would win a fight. Bench doesn't mean all that much

My favorite part is when the spotter goes from soothing voice to drill instructor

Bro be benchin like there ain't no tomorrah

Made it look easy 🤙🏾

Once I did 12, and that was when I was out of shape. I ran out of gas. In shape, maybe 17 or 18. And that's without really weight training that much.

Is that really his Son doing the reps on the bench

What about Ernst's 51?

;flake.Bye

Imagine being the next guy after that

The record is by Justin Ernest in the 1999 NFL combine where he did 51 reps of 225 pounds!

should have counted the 50th rep

Daym Eddie Hall strongman is 52 reps, makes Paea fkn strong 😂😂😂

Lol I did the bar for 50 and thought it was cool lmao

I'M 215 LBS and rep this for 20 times so i'm happy about that

Go beavs

He looks like Brian shaw

That's coz of ALL the corned beef, kalo & ulu!

Tongan Power 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🐴🐴🐴

This man lifted 100kg more times than I can lift 40kg
