How much can Ronda Rousey benchpress?

[Metal_Daze]

She can bench the bench where Tank Abbott benches teh 400.

 

[TheWolfsHowl]

She can bench the bench where Tank Abbott benches teh 400.

She can bench two benches with two Tank Abbotts on them each benching teh 400.

For the record, Liz carmouche doesn't bench 225 x 6, willing to bet my life on it.

 

[hagestad]

Thank you. These idiots don't have a clue.

I seriously doubt Rhonda could press 135.

This number is fishy indeed.. If she does then we have to ask serious questions about her "supplements" stack.

Yeah, not a buyer. World record for 148 pounds is 309, which she would almost be capable of.

Muscle Mag says she can do 100 Lbs for 15 reps.

http://www.musclemag.com/the-ufc-all-strength-team/8/

"According to Leo Frincu, the California-based trainer who has worked with Rousey for much of her career, she can power-clean 135 pounds for a single, squat 160 for 20 reps, bench-press 100 pounds for up to 15 reps and bang out 40 to 50 unbroken conventional push-ups."

Ronda said in an interview that she doesn't lift weights.

Just found the interview http://www.webpronews.com/ronda-rousey-strong-is-the-new-sexy-2014-09

 

[Goatenstein]

LOL back to the old whoever lifts the most is toughest eh? Stupid shit like this was debunked well over a decade ago.

100 pounds for 15 is about the functional strength she would need to do her job. Wouldn't be surprised if it's slightly higher now.

I said to her "Jeez you've got a big snatch. Jeez you've got a big snatch."

 

[Master Shonuff]

Gonna go with <200. Not known for strength

Indeed, very highly unlikely. This would make Liz Carmouche close to an elite female powerlifter (ie people who are not drug tested for their sport at all, and who only train big compound lifts). The women's record at 132 lbs is a 300 lb bench press.

225 x 6 assumes a roughly 260 lb max bench. ie 87% of the world record. That would be like telling me there's a fighter in the 205 lb division who benches 500 lbs (87% of 575, which is between the 200lb and 220lb totals for men). I'm not buying that shit.

 

[Spindrift0036]

Nothing, but I never said she couldn't. You seem to be sure she could, and I'm wondering why.

If I'm not mistaken she walks at about 150 lbs + btw. She looks stronger and larger than Liz.

 

[Brettd1031]

Rousey benchs more than anyone in ufc Under the right circumstances

 

[AxekickfromDiaz]

Just wondering if a number has ever been confirmed. Give a good gauge on whether she could take men of her size.

How do you figure that, guy?

Liz wrote on her fan page in 2012 that she'd benched 265 lbs btw ( can't post the link because HTC manufactures the best smartphones )

 

[cshireman4]

one and a half Demetrious Johnson's.

Love that avi!

Benching 225 x6 doesn't mean your max is anywhere close to 309.
