‘How much do you bench bro?’
One rep max bench presses are also a potentially dangerous exercise for contact sports athletes to attempt.
RugbyPass have put a list together of the bench press records of elite rugby players.
Here we look at, according to that list, the three strongest players to ever play for England.
BENCH-PRESS RECORD:
#4. Maro Itoje (Lock) – 187.5kg
18st 2lbs. 6ft 5in. Fast, strong, agile, intelligent and super fit. If The Pearl wasn’t an elite rugby player, you’d half expect to see him crushing skulls in Lord of the Rings.
