its amazing how much emphasis is put on the bench press, in any sport. its a strength exercise, these guys should have power & endurance, not so much strength.
These guys have powerful looking physiques, especially the smaller one.
They look like they broad jump a fair bit better than they jump vertically? How far and high did they jump?
Also, why do they have a vertical jump test, and then another jumping test where you wear a belt and squat down and jump keeping your hands on your hips?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
first of all, obviously they are strong theyre goin 2 the show. why the fuck do u care how high and far they jump? does it really affect u?...some faggets just grind my gears lol
duh i knew that captain obvisous, even thou i was able to compete with vanriemsdiek when he played in nj. even thou im sure hes gotten a lot better since that was like 4 years ago
Bench was done right after max pushups and with a strict beep you have to follow. No at easy as it seems. Lege can do well over 225 for max. However, we focuse more on "hockey strength" ....core and legs...his squat, deadlift and clean are unreal.not to mention speed. he was top ranked athlete at this years combine. check out article at tsn website cheers
you probably could bench more, but hockey isnt about how much you can bench press, thats football. Besides these guys are not enforcers they need to be nimble and quick
i no i expected them to be able to bench at least like 200lbs without a problem it is a contact sport. theres obvisously power forwards that should work on their strength alot
yes power forwards should work on their strength but again not in the chest with the weight you are talking about. When you have players that rep 200 pounds they get so bulky that its restricts their motion. Football players need high benchpress numbers becuase of the way that they hit/block etc... with hockey bench is not nearly as effective.. but what do I know you competed with vanriemsdiek and I only skated with a handful of NHL players and ex players in my lifetime :)
I have to disagree. I was a defenseman at the D-III collegiate level for all four years and I lifted like a football player. At playing weight, I was 5'9", 205 lbs. and my speed/endurance was never compromised. All my max lifts were at or near an elite level: Bench max: 305, squat max: 425, Hang clean max: 260 and deadlift max: 410. But then again, every athlete is different.
I find it disturbing that nigger bitches are testing the guys.

it can affect your draft ranking. all of the teams are there watching, and if you're pretty out of shape they might think twice about drafting you.

I would think agility and leg strength would be a lot more relevant than what they bench.
