Hey guys I was wondering who benches what at the club????
I wouldnt mind seeing the whole list to compare size and strength!
Id love to see what Krak benches! I know Rodan is strong for his size!!
If you know how much they've improved over the summer that'd be great too!!!
 
I don't know what the stats are, but a few seasons ago they had a list of who benched the most at each club and our best was Zantuck.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
 
I recall Rodan benched a big number whilst rehabbing from his knee.
 
Not that it means much now, but in December 2003 I managed a sticky beak in the Gym at Punt Road and the white board with players max weights was visible. I distinctly remember the highest and lowest bench presses. Zantuck highest with 147 and Krak the lowest at 82.
 
Pretty sure Rodan gone 140kg (308lbs) at the player Olympics earlier in the year.
 
Think Simmonds would be the best at bench pressing at the Club. Both Knobel and Rodan did 140 kg (with a tiny assist from the spotter) at the Olympics . Years ago (cough - too far back to mention) when I trained in Bennett's Gym at Prahran, Billy Barrot handled BIG BIG weights, Bull Richardson did lat pulldowns with half the weights in the gym whereas blokes like Graham Burgin handled pretty light stuff of about 70 kg.
 
Knob's does 140kg? He is so skinny lookin and 140 is huge for a Rodan he is only a little bloke!!!

82kg is probably right for Krak I wonder what he does now??
