I can't do it now, but in my competitive prime I could bench 195 as a 132-pound 14:57 5K runner.

So how would all you Herculean benchers do in a Pump and Run?
I've seen the Arnold one in Columbus a couple of times, and to have a prayer of competing you have to hit the limit of 30 reps of your own body weight (70% for women, and descending with age)
Last year's winner did the 30 reps with a 16:16 for a net time of 1:16.
Could anyone run sub 15 and still do the 27 or 28 reps needed to beat that?
This race looks like fun, I heard about it last year and really wanted to do it, but it fills up FAST. I think it would be awesome for someone to have a negative time (30 reps, sub 15).
Fluctuate between 144-149lbs.
14:43 5000m
Max around 145ish I think for bench.
When I was in my mid-twenties I weighed 182, benched 255, and ran sub-18. I've always been fat and slow.
Weight: 155
Bench: 175
5k: Almost sub 14:00
All of them
I weigh 180
bench 250
5k 22:02
400-51

In summary:
"Think about it Alan, the finals of Penn States's IM Wrestling Champs? that says a lot."
It says that upstate NY is a great wrestling area as Paul was good,but not great high school wrestler. He did not win sectionals or counties in upstate NY.
He weighed 130's in high school.
He was small, and certainly could bench over 250.
He did not weigh 120 in college.
Yeah, I was thinking he was 140-150 with that upper body....which would make a 285 bench a lot more feasible for someone who isn't a powerlifter. Freaks do exist though, so whatever.
