I was watching the episode with Ted Forrest's bet about the 225 bench press 50 times in one day with some friends and we got to talking about it and I said that I bet I could do it 50 times in 10 minutes. They all roundly agreed that I could not, and so, for a wager of 100 dollars from each of them I will attempt to bench press 225 50 times in ten minutes this afternoon. I will keep you updated. I am not REALLY confident about, but I think I will be able to do it. I am 6'1", 220 pounds, 22 years old. I can rep 225 probably 12 or 13 times in one set, but obviously the second set I am not going to get that many and so on. We'll see.

You will have trouble breaking 30. Not enough time to rest between sets.

dumb, dumb, dumb....I'm sure they would have given you an hour if your ego didn't get in the way.

If you can rep 225 12 or 13 times for your first set, you are going to have a very hard time completing 50 reps in ten minutes. Reason being, you will probably only get 5 reps per set from that point on. I think your best choice is to not go to failute on your first set and just do sets of 8 with recovery time in between.

Do 5 then rest for like 35 seconds or whatever....do another 5? May be his best shot...i still hate the bet. |

There was someone a couple weeks ago stating that he was going to attempt to duplicate Ted Forrest's drinking accomplishment, but never reported back... I'm guessing this one will end up the same way.

this is what I would do but I wouldn't have taken the bet in the first place.
Just not enough time. I estimate he would need about 5 hours to do it and even that is pushing the limit. |
