At this year's NFL scouting combine, the max number of bench press reps with 225 pounds that any player did was 39, done by Louis Vasquez, a 6-5 330# guard from Texas Tech. Second was 37 reps, by Terrance Taylor, a 300# def tackle from Michigan.

Looks like only 17 players out of about 330 did more than 30 reps with 225 on the bar, and all of them were linemen except for one 227# safety from USC. Three linebackers and one running back got 30 reps; for each of them 225 was less than body weight (though not by all that much). Tight ends topped out at 28, receivers at 27, QBs at 26 reps.

Clearly not the fittest people on the planet, at the scouting combine.

Classifications of Gin

London Dry Gin is the dominant English style of Gin. As a style it lends itself particularly well to mixing. London Dry Gin is the dominant Gin style in the United Kingdom, former British colonies, the United States, and Spain.

Plymouth Gin is relatively full-bodied (when compared to London Dry Gin). It is clear, slightly fruity, and very aromatic. Originally the local Gin style of the English Channel port of Plymouth, modern Plymouth Gin is nowadays made only by one distillery in Plymouth, Coates & Co., which also controls the right to the term Plymouth Gin.

Old Tom Gin is the last remaining example of the original lightly sweetened gins that were so popular in 18th-century England. The name comes from what may be the first example of a beverage vending machine. In the 1700s some pubs in England would have a wooden plaque shaped like a black cat (an "Old Tom") mounted on the outside wall. Thirsty passersby would deposit a penny in the cats mouth and place their lips around a small tube between the cats paws. The bartender inside would then pour a shot of Gin through the tube and into the customers waiting mouth. Until fairly recently limited quantities of Old Tom-style Gin were still being made by a few British distillers, but they were, at best, curiosity items.

Genever or Hollands is the Dutch style of Gin. Genever is distilled from a malted grain mash similar to that used for whisky. Oude ("old") Genever is the original style. It is straw-hued, relatively sweet and aromatic. Jonge ("young") Genever has a drier palate and lighter body. Some genevers are aged for one to three years in oak casks. Genevers tend to be lower proof than English gins (72-80 proof or 36-40% ABV is typical). They are usually served straight up and chilled. The classic accompaniment to a shot of Genever is a dried green herring. Genever is traditionally sold in a cylindrical stoneware crock. Genever-style gins are produced in Holland, Belgium, and Germany.

That's why combat sports have weight classes. To protect everybody else from the skinny guys.

There are so many things wrong with this kind of attitude towards healing.

I actually like a lot of the shit that Cultfit Oneworld does but fuck you are going at your own liver with teeth and finger nails taking this man NSAIDs when you are "tore up."

Rather than treating the pain why not treat the actual cause of the pain.

My problem is CFFB is causing me deep internal shoulder pain with all these power cleans, thrusters, power snatchs, etc, done virtually everyday. I would dismiss is as my own problem but my workout partner, another ball player again no stranger to olympic lifts, is going through the same thing. Sometimes it gets bad enough that we cant complete the workout and neither of us has ever had ANY shoulder problems before starting CFFB. It doesnt surprise me that have shoulder problems with the lifts (and frequency performed) of CFFB. Does anyone have any thoughts?
