I have never tried this.
225lbs x 30 reps is certainly impressive!

My personal best is 22 @ 195 pounds. That was after going heavy too. I think at the time, the workout went like this:
15 reps x #135. 6 reps x #225. 4 reps x #315. 4 reps x #365. 22 reps x #225.
By the way, I think that Tony Mandrich still has the record for the NFL combines. Like 50-ish I think it was.

i could be wrong but if you do mostly heavy, low rep work , i dont know it will make a huge difference in how many reps you get with a moderate poundage. i suppose this is a matter of you get what you train for. i remember an interview with marion jones and a reporter asked her how fast she could run a mile. she responded by saying, she rarely runs that distance, her time in the mile would not be impressive. maybe thats a poor analogy, but its almost 2 am here and my stomach is still queasy!!
yeah I did 36 strict at a combine.
the test itself is a weird deal, I did 30 bb style when I was benching like 385, then 36 pl style when I was pressing 505, so it really is a "skill" you have to work on....it doesn't really estimate overall strength. I know if I did it more often I could do more but it doesn't do anything for me except make me want to pass out so I only do it when I have to.

I read somewhere that Ronnie Coleman was capable of repping 225lbs for 80 reps!!! Of course this is in offseason when he is 325lbs and has 24 inch arms.

Bro, that is the absolute truth, and an excellent post. Case in point..I used to train with a kid named Angelo Poulich. He is a local powerlifter, a young kid, with TONS of potential. He is around #1800+ total now, and is only like 22 I believe. Anyhow, he was squatting 675(I think--it was 6 somethingerather) at the time for a deuce, but could only get #315 for like 7-8 after that on a burnout set. Flip-side of the coin, I was only doing 5 bills for a double, and could get #315 for like 25 reps on my burnout set. We would always do a burnout set at the end of all heavy basics lifts. He however was new to adding that set, where as I had always added the burnout set at the end of my bench, squat, and deadlift routines. So your point is definitely valid brother. Although he was way stronger than me, and could handle TONS more weight, I was doubling his rep output on #315 because of my having trained with that type of routine previously.

I dunno about Ronnie he is a bad ass but he would pump up too much and the latic acid build up wouldnt allow him to do another rep
ALOT of the huge line man cant way to many since the pump up too early..... i know a line man (motherfuckers in the league) (NFL) and he 330 lbs and can only 36 reps. he says he pumps up to easy....big boys bump up so easy........
the badest motherfucker at the NFL combine stats, was my boy from Texas......he has a 42 in vertical jump, ran the fastest 40 yard dash and threw up 30 reps......he won the BIG 12 confercne 100 meter dash......fucking un real he is....
My best is 24 reps with 225lbs on the flat bench blasting it quickly and 19 reps with 225lbs on the incline Im 185lbs and only max at 350lbs on the flat bench BB style.
