Adrien Broner attempts to bench press 235 lbs

[PureBoxingCEO]

He needs to do some more of those to pack more pounds to face the axe murderer Matthysse

[SCEN3RY]

when he does that chewing gum with his mouth open while talking some dumb **** (amongst a few other things), I shake my head. Otherwise, he's an alright guy. thought it was funny as **** when he got up yelling, "aghh" and then "turn it off." When he tries too hard, it never works, but when it's natural, he's a lot more likable.

For once your sorry ass is on to something.

LMAO.....well thanks

All the broner fanboys rushing in to defend their hero. He's showing off for the camera acting like a jackasss and couldnt even complete the rep and he lied about how much weight it is.

100% agreed. he has natural boyish charm, that of an incorrigible scamp one can't help but like. he doesn't need to force it, but rather just be himself.

Uh, its actually 4 10lbs and 2 45lbs plus the bar which is about 20 lbs

so its about 150lbs

But its about what he should be lifting.

You're an idiot.

Those are 4 25lbs and 2 45lbs weights and a standard bar is 45lbs. Go to a gym bro.

Anytime you can do more than your body weight, props to you.

There's 18 year old kids at my gym around his size I've seen bench 275lb at least 5 reps. I don't think that even looks like 235 TBH.

Two dudes who have no clue about lifting weights......

you don't even know what 235 looks like - how would you know what 275 looks like?

I doubt Broner puts as much into weight lifting as your friend in school. You don't have to be extremely strong to be a good fighter and Broner is proof of that. I'd like to see any of the other 135 or 140 pound fighters post a video of them maxing out. Gotta give Broner props for that.

[mconstantine]

First...it's about 230lbs. Broner needs to redo their math lol.

2 45lb plates = 90lbs
4 25lb plates = 100lbs
1 Olympic Bar = 35 to 45lbs

Second...if you can bench 1.5x your body weight, you are VERY strong. This is right at 1.5x Broner's weight, considerably more factoring his fighting weight. He looks like he could lift something CLOSE to this 230lbs so I would say Broner is pretty damn strong for his weight.

Third...he's a boxer, not a bodybuilder. This debate is kind of silly. Broner is built like a prototypical fighter. Broad shoulders. Strong core. Ripped physique but not bulky. Criticizing his strength based on this video is both reaching and hating at its finest.

235 for a 140lb guy?

Yeah, it's a good lift.
