Question about athletics

BAck in my glory high school football days. Yes, those days. When Al Bundy once rushed for 5 TDs in one game and SupBro made all-county with 13 tackles for loss.

Our coach on first day of practice had time limits for the mile to see who had/hadn't participated in off season workouts.

Backs/Receivers - < 6 1/2 mins
Linemen - < 8 mins

Not sure how scientific that is in realtion to benching 150% of body weight but those were his numbers.

you really cant compare. when i weighted about 150 i could run a mile under 5 but could never bench more than 200 despite lifting regularly.

simply, some bodies are predisposed to stamina while others are to strength and power.

Which one hurt the most to do? I think the run is utter hell. The lift which I can't come close to would be over before you felt it or does it hurt also?? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I was in pretty good shape during undergrad from being on the club Ultimate Frisbee team.

I was 160lbs and could bench 150% of my weight by senior year.
I was sub 6min mile but not by much.

I'm not sure which I worked harder at, lifting or running. It was pretty close. Maybe lifting by a tad.

So I would say x=5.5min, for a 5'8" Asian male, age 21, in college. Dunno how well that would generalize.

On a side note I'm now 24, can still lift 150% of my weight, but probably do more like a 7min mile.

X is about 4:50.

An adult who can bench 150% their weight is in great shape. I think equivalent to a runner who can do about a 4:50 mile. I'd say between 4:50 and 5:00.
