Remember the big guy that could kick anybody's ass but was just a big softie in high school?

That's how McClendon is.

Good analogy, sounds like he'd make a better brother-in-law than O-lineman at this point... hopefully Chaney and Cregg will help him find his inner mean streak.

Also he didnt max out 645, he repped it out with light weight and however many reps he got was suppose to equal 645. Thats not a very accurate way to max, the vols at the combine showed that, I think they were the weakest at the combine.

i would have to differ some with your statement. i would bet that there are quite a lot of people and teams that use that method to max lifts. every trainer that i ever came across had no problems using that method to get a pretty accurate max lift. they may use that particular method instead of putting 645 pounds on the bar over a lifter. if something happened and that amount of weight came down on his neck or chest it could cause some serious injury. even with spotters i would be skepticle to put that kind of weight on a bar. i am sure there are more reasons than that. but just a little different point of view on the matter.

You are dead on with that . You do three reps I believe ...what you can do three times is 80% of your max . sooo.. 515 three times. If you can bench 645 ...conventional wisdom says you shouldn't do it for safety . Just because you can doesn't mean it is good or safe for the muscles , joints , skeleton .

There are plenty of videos on youtube of people trying to bench 700+ and their pecs snap...or at least there used to be, they might be removed now. I watched one of them one time and it sounded like a gunshot, but it could have been the bar falling (or fake, idk).
