Do you mean squat, it's an interesting topic, I don't know if some has info. on that tough.

[Gongshow11 1]

squat i bet they are up there. somewhere around 4 plates one ach side perhaps if nto more

[mnhockey14 0]

i would say more than 4 plates theres kids in my weight room doing more than that

i know kobe bryant can do something like 500 plus

[J-Shera 0]

Isnt 4 plates 550?

[Karly14 21]

again random information, but i heard tuommu rutuu (sp) is one of the heaviest lifters int he league

[Jason Harris 31]

Four plates on each side would be 405 pounds. Each plate is 45 pounds, as is the bar, so it's 9 x 45 = 405.

Bouillon is one of the strongest in the league on the bench press. Koivu is the strongest in the canadiens(before Kovalev arrived) in squat.

I also heard the same about Sakic...

Koivu is the strongest in the canadiens(before Kovalev arrived) in squat.

Before or after the cancer treatments?

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

After, they did a contest before the last season(the one they played) and he won for the squat.

I'd say that most NHL'ers should be able to squat at least 350, and some might go up to the 550-600 range.

For bench press, I'd say that they should be able to do a minimum of 1.5x thier body weight, and some of the really strong guys should be able to do 2x or maybe a bit higher.

I doubt that you're going to find exact numbers for any players. In some of the books I've read, there are experiences of various players squatting 285 or so before the author's program and squatting 400 or so after performing the program for a while - so to me, these seem like reasonable numbers for pro athletes on strength training programs.

[Chadd 916]

That's an awful high number on the bench press.

that means someone like that means bertuzzi a "stronger" guy should be able to beach 2 times his body weight. That means he should be able to bench like 470pds i dout it he is a hockey player not a body builder.

Isnt 4 plates 550?

no its 405lbs 45*8+45(the bar)=405

Sean Brown from the Devils was my Assistant-Coach this year, he was casually hitting the gym with us and doing 290, repping 8 or 9 times. Now I realize that's not too high, but god damn I can barely hit 155.

[Nic#19 0]

Yeah i can get like 6 reps of 180

I just read in "Stength, Conditioning, and Injury prevention in Hockey" that Luc Robitaille had a 485 power squat and a 335 clean pull at the 1999 training camp, he also had a 2.62 near blueline sprint.

I was watching cool shots on espn a few years ago, luc was on, he said when his family and him would travel, when he was young, he would take his squat rack and lift in parking lots and stuff, it would embarass his family,lol. how strong was gretz? anyone know

That would mean Sean has a 1RM of about 370 lbs if I refer to the book Total Hockey Conditionning.

[Gongshow11 1]

290 8 or 9 times ios pretty high. thats like a max of 375 no?

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

From the book it's about 370-375.
