How much can Ronda Rousey benchpress?

[TheScorpionDude]

She can bench press Brendan Schaub

Got to catch him first !

 

[sparkyjohannsen]

I heard she can bench 225 for like 46 reps...not very impressive for a girl her size.

Gonna be honest, not exactly sure what we're arguing here. I don't know the context of what I quoted you on lol. I don't think anyone in the UFC can put up 575 on the bench

If Tank Abbot could bench 600lbs then I am sure there may be some HW's that can do the same.

Also Brock has a reported max Bench of 655lbs, not sure if true though.

What about ppl like Oveream, Carwin, Dufee? would be interested to know.


Edit:
Apparently Bob Sapp, Mark Kerr and Mark Coleman have all benched 600lbs but again i have no evidence apart from interviews and claims.

Benchpress is not a very functional movement. Who cares? Let's see her snatch.

 

[iloveufc123]

She can probably bench 155

Not buying 655 for Brock or 600 for Tank. Would believe 600 for Brock or any of the other 3.

Carmouche can do 225 for 6 reps? Wow thats pretty impressive! Is that confirmed?? And as for Ronda, I was thinking she could probably max out at around 205.

 

[kurtwpg]

She can probably bench 155

So slightly less than Ray Rice?

Well seeing as there is a vid of Tank actually benching 600 which i linked in my post you don't have to buy anything.

Which is why I am lead to believe if a bear guzzling semi-pro fighter can do it y not others.

Good one

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."

Not very impressive for a girl as big and strong as Judo Ronda to be honest...

I'd be more interesting in seeing how she performs on "pulls" like deadlift, max chin ups, all kind of rows.. As a primary judoka her pulling must be way stronger than press based movements

 

[AxeMurderer2010]

I'd say about 6 Courics.

 

[Miiiiiiighty]

Under the right circumstances i bet she could bench Cain Velasquez.

ahahahah this thread is delivering, typical sherdog

 

[24K]

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

Seemed pretty unbelievable to me as well

WAR TANK

WAR TANK

Impressive, no question. But I'm not going to call that sternum-buster a bench press.

 

[opie]

275

Damn you

ah yes

She probably does, inthe same parallel universe where Mike Dolce "squats 500pounds 20 times at under 200lbs and beltless"

The rule is if you tried to do the same thing and it would kill you it counts. You tried to do what tank did and your ribs would be sticking through your heart he couldn't have bounced it that much.

Probably doesn't, but your collateral for the bet is quite worthless too so...
