Jeremy Wariner bench press

To be fair, you have no idea how many reps that is. He could be doing burn outs and that was towards the end.

That is probably 115-135, but you have no idea what set he is on or how many he is doing, that could be number 18-19-20 in a set.

He's a puss. At 148 lbs I bench 375 x 4. He isn't worthy of gazing upon my impeccable pecs. Neither are you.

Definitely not 135, probably 115. You can use the weights on the rack behind him to compare.

You are not the real Mr Chest (no period after Chest). And there is no way to verify that the person lifting is really Jeremy Wariner.

Has anybody out there ever seen a real sprinter using a spotter to bench sets of 95 pounds? Happens to be my first warmup set. Even a girl sprinter should do better than that.

Sorry, but I call BS on the whole thing.

Well the body looks like him, he's a wearing a USA jersey, and pretty much everyone walking around is wearing yellow and green for Baylor. I'd bet it's him.

I was a sprinter in colllege and no I didn't have a spotter to bench 115 (but my warm up was 135, also), however he is a world class athlete and can have a person trainer watching/spotting every lift if he wants.

Another video which definitely looks like him:

I knew he was small, but damn.

You're right.

... also, neither of you are fit to look upon my impeccable pecs.

I was thinking that he was benching 139, but no that's what he could run the 800 in if he moved up, and only for one rep.

Some good leg turnover:

I have viewed some of Baylor's strength training program perviously. They typically do higher volume, relative to a sprinter, with very little recover. It could be that he was doing 3 x 10-15 with 30 seconds rest. Regardless, relative bench strength is an indicator of only how much one can press. Functional strength is what allows Wariner to destroy anyone in the world over the last 200m.

hey boobs, you don't want to be top heavy and fall over while running.

He can bench 110kg, one of you yanks that has actually evolved to imperial measurements can work that out for the southern's on here who only understand pounds

Unless he looks like Dollay Parton, I don't think he'll have a problem.

How can any of you tell from that small segment of video how much Jeremy can lift? By commenting as such you have just made yourselves look ignorant.

We dont know A) if thats his 1st or 6th set (!) B) how many repeats hes doing per set (ie: pyraminds etc) or C) whether its even his proper wights-workout at all (maybe a warmup?).

Chances are the guy isn't all that strong at bench, or dumb bell curls, but why does he need to be? I can tell you he runs fast. Ideally Jeremy wants to be lean and quick not bulky and awkward, and as strength is directly proportionate to muscle size (in general) why would he want to be benching 350lb when he wants to run sub 43? Makes no sense.

How has this question not been asked...

Where did the videos come from?

Good question. Looked at the guys profile, doesn't say much.

Here's Wariner running the 600 in practice:

Wariner:6-0/155...he has the height/weight ratio of Bob Kennedy and not Asafa Powell, not surprising that he's not a monster in the weight room.
