thats what im sayin none of the other guys locked out and they also stopped in the middle of their reps which wasted energy, which larry didnt and went 100% until he couldnt
Jerry Cole youre strongest at the top of the motion the hardest part is getting it off your chest. locking your arms increases the range of motion but it also gives you a rest at the end of the press. if you dont lock you keep the tension on the muscle and off the joint which makes for a more intense set. these guys have all likely been lifting like this since high school.
If you look at world strongest man contests, there are quite many winners and elite challengers in their mid or even late 30s. Strength is the last motoric trait one loses with age. So i think he rather had an advantage here because of his age.
@@maciejguzek3442 Those men competing at the world strongest men contests are also on a lot of steroids as well. All of those WSM competitors are juiced up so it's not a good comparison. A juiced up Larry Allen at this age in this video would be insanely stronger than this. This man has insanely great genetics along with insane athletic abilities just like the men competing in those world strongest men competitions, but without the steroids.
@@BlackWhiteBeast strongmen don't actually give a damn about bench press, some absolute world elite strongmen asked how much they bp said 'i don't even know/ i don't care'. I'm not arguing here about Larry's potential. I get that in NFL there is much more money and therefore genetic freaks choose pro leagues and not strongman.
@@maciejguzek3442 At the end of the day we both gave a damn about this bench press video, and with Larry Allen's performance in this video he displayed a fraction of what he's able to do. The man was an absolute unit on the football field as a run blocker and pass blocker. I do watch WSM as well and they are absolute units in their venue. Its extremely impressive to see large men perform with tremendous athletic abilities. Have a good day.
Really sad to hear Larry Allen passed away today, I had to come back to this one more time, RIP Larry most likely the strongest man to ever play in the NFL.
Damn, this is beastly, doing 20 225lb reps it's already impressive for an average strong guy on a regular gym, can't even tell about doing 43 with almost not stoping
@@hendrikseils5699 It's the pro bowl they make up their own rules. If they say it's fine then it's fine just like a powerlifting meet or strongman competition even if it's against the opinion of some kid on the internet
Rob Alder are there not stated rules for a reason? It’s to level the playing field in every way possible. They literally state at the beginning of this video their set of rules, which was not followed at all.
@IamGrandMagus lol I respect it. I admit I was naive in saying that “‘most” people could push that much weight, tho I do believe people with above average genetics could if they had decent training and bulked up to 270+ at least. I’m able to hit 29 reps of 225 at 225-230 lbs and I don’t think I have that good of genetics
The fact they called Lorenzo Neal small is a testament to how the game has changed in this day of age. Neal in today’s game would be considered a really big guy.
Yeah, no. There are people spotting them and its only 225 pounds. All of these guys are at least 300 minimum. Where's the danger in being crushed besides them dropping the barbell from full extension?
nitschke9 Regardless 225 is a completely safe weight for anyone in the NFL. People in college are able to handle that weight just fine. And that's without spotters.
Here's my solution for all of the locked elbows arguments.... Have them bench an empty barbell and hold it up and mark its height of when the person's elbows are fully and properly locked out... and that's the height they gotta reach for all the 225 reps to ensure the legitimacy of each rep
jim efwards For hardcore lifters 50 reps isn’t that big of a deal. I bet Harrison could hit the 50 mark. Larry Allen is just naturally a beast but Harrison with his powerlifting background and form on bench could knock out 50 easy.
Based on this video, to his 705lbs bench, to his epic run to prevent a pick six, as well as the words of just about everyone he played both with and against... Larry Allen was just on an entirely different level than everyone else. The man is the literal definition of the word freak
Lorenzo Neal has incredible bench-press form. That back arch, the whole foot on the ground, the bar to the upper-chest. woo That is textbook. (also he was like 80 lbs less than most of these linemen.... dude was a fullback)
Fred Smerlas did 56 reps with 225 at Boston College pro day. Smerlas also did 405, that is405 lbs. for almost 2,reps with an overhead press. He was a 5x pro bowl NT for the Buffalo Bills in the 1980s. A natural amazing athlete. Arthur Karelas
Yea but the guys at the combine had trained weeks to be able to do those specific drills as well as possible. These guys haven't done those drills for years.
They need to bring this back. They could even replace the Pro Bowl for this. I'm sure people would much rather watch this, myself included.
aolerma you got my vote
Nah I like the pro bowls but I would not find this before the pro bowl like the day before or in the morning
I am From the future and this hasnt happened in years since this video was release
jacobo martinez lmao
I know I would rather watch this..
43 reps with a Rolex on lol
M C maybe 4 reps, not a single guy did more than 5. At the start the shower rules and said must lock out to count.

Not only did Larry Allen do significantly more reps, he actually locked out way better than all the other participants.
Sort of.
Joey porter never locked
thats what im sayin none of the other guys locked out and they also stopped in the middle of their reps which wasted energy, which larry didnt and went 100% until he couldnt
He was pretty old here too. Not old enough to lose a significant amount of strength but the wear and tear on your body def slows you down a bit.
@@SteveLeicht1sorta of ? he locked out moron
why can't the pro bowl do stuff like this now? I'd actually watch it again.

should have put clips at the end of the plates.
youmadbro951 its so the spotters can lift it off easier if its dropped
cs40660 what are you talking about?
+youmadbro951 if they get tired and the bar starts crushing them its easier to get the weights off
Matt G the spotters will just lift the bar off, they won't try strip the weight as fast as possible!
Matt G you dumb af fam
these skill contests are better than the actual pro bowl
Or the veterans' Combine.
I think it's crazy how a full back held up with all these offensive and defensive line men.
Chase not that surprising, fullbacks are the meatiest players on the team
+Ricky Bobby pretty much, more athletic lineman. Said it perfect.
Fullbacks are just big men in the back field
Plus he was like easily one of the best fullbacks in the nfl
Not really fullbacks are just faster tight ends
Larry Allen is the strongest O Lineman in NFL history
Stephen paea?
Haha Clinton Dix #21hunnit #bighitter #picksix offensive linemen
True didn't read that part.
Lol that's kinda what he just said.
Haha Clinton Dix #21hunnit #bighitter #picksix can he bench closer to 700?
I love how Osi just peaces out after a few reps...such old school Pro Bowl action...
My favorite line is "he was lifting it like a salad fork". As if Larry Allen be eatin' salads...
Brian
Lmao.
what happened to locking the arms lol
LuxoFTW ikr

Larry Allen did 43 and was the only one besides Osi that did FULL REPS! Beast.💪😮
My man Larry Allen was a MONSTER!!! 700Ib max bench press the strongest Ever!!
David Hunter
705 lbs raw on the bench press actually.
David Hunter He had 3 spotters that helped him
David Hunter Jj Watt can do that and the strongest man did over 1000
Elaine Coger kid I bet jj can't even bench 600

And none of em locked out their elbows, Larry Allen almost did.
LeCharles Bentley definitely didn't lock out his arms 😂 he didn't even try to hide the fact
haha i know right. not saying a thing though imagine those dumb assistants trying to say the reps dont count
because you're not supposed to lock out head ass
Ryder Washington actually it's harder not to lock out because your chest never gets a chance to rest
TheFalloutShot96 dont matter, rules say lock out.
Dude was a beast, and athletic. If you’ve never seen it go check Larry Allen’s rundown after an interception, saving a pick six.
Can Kevin durant do 1 ?
No
