In the realm of basketball being strong doesn't mean how many pounds you can bench
press because sometimes fitness experts with relatively short arms can still be strong
They would have a greater advantage
in the bench press than NBA centers but
once on the court this 120-kilogram giant could easily knock them all over
Of course this does not mean that bench press data is unimportant The greater the
bench press strength the greater the advantage in the paint
In this video we will take a look at the history
The 10 strongest NBA players
Number 10 Rodman
Rodman is 2 meters 1 centimeter tall and weighs 95 kilograms
He looks slim but he has incredible strength
After joining the Bulls Rodman's low-post strength was impressive
He showed no fear when facing taller and heavier opponents
The later part of his career turned the final into a WWE wrestling match against Ma Long
The famous American singer Billy Corgan
Once talked about Rodman's incredible strength in a show
Hahaha
Ninth Griffin
The bench press standard for the NBA combine is 84 kilograms
The average performance of interior rookies is 12 repetitions
But rookie Griffin recorded 22 sets
which is the best performance among the 09 rookies
During the fast break era Griffin often performed powerful dunks
Griffin once said that he was able to achieve all this thanks to continuous core and lower
body strength training which
eventually translated into
his basketball performance He also explained that
Often those big strong roosters appear powerful but are easily pushed around
on the field because they don't actually
have much strength in their lower body
It was obvious that Griffin was not
the type to be pushed around he was the
one doing the pushing on the court Howard had once been a skinny teenager
During high school he couldn't even
bench press 60 kilograms but after
continuous training Howard became a three-time DPOY in the league
In 2008 the Beast once revealed
that his bench press reached 165
kilograms considering the Beast's exceptionally long arm span
This data is truly unbelievable
The Magic's strength coach once commented on Howard
His unique genetics can accomplish any task we give him
His innate power almost like
a monster Howard once said
I used to be thin so I dreamed of having huge biceps
I have been exercising to make my chest muscles bigger
to make my abdominal muscles more defined
building muscle has helped me avoid injuries
so I will keep spending time in the gym
to have a long career
Howard who is now 37 is still striving on the court
This Wallace is considered the number one in NBA bench press His
maximum bench press reached 208
kilograms almost twice his peak weight
Some people are doubtful about this Daben
confirmed this data on a show I think my
maximum bench press reached 460 kilograms
My goal is always to reach 560 kilograms
I have never reached my goal but I have
been exercising exercising and gaining weight
This is one thing I have always loved
This is what I do this is what I recommend
This Wallace was once a slender
teenager but after constant training he
eventually grew into the strongest
player of his era Wallace once said
The shoulder is the most important area for an
inside player to train because shoulder muscles
can help absorb opponents' impact Da is 2 meters 6 centimeters tall and weighs 108 kilograms
Although all of his opponents in the paint were taller and heavier in one-
on-one matchups Ben completely had no
problem and he has won four DPOY awards
Two-time rebounding champion one-time steal king the league's feared Amare
Stoudemire is a real troublemaker always
unable to control his restless emotions
But when the big one stood in front of him
Number six Yao Ming
in the history of the Chinese southern coast
Battal and Liu Yudong are rare powerfully built players
Both can bench press 130 kilograms
By comparison the maximum bench press for a year is about 100 kilograms while the bench
press test data for the cycle is only 60
kilograms but among all the people mentioned above
No one could bench press like Yao during his peak
During his NBA career due to a significant increase in weight and muscle
Yao's highest bench press reached 158 kilograms
This gave him an overwhelming
physical advantage
against all centers except for O'Neal More
importantly Yao Ming's lower body strength
reached historic levels As a traditional center
Getting the best position under the basket is crucial lower
body strength is very important
just look at Yao Ming's thick
legs like water barrels you'll know why Hooper can't gain
an advantage in front of him no matter how the monster collides
Yao Ming was as solid as a rock All
-Star Game Ben Wallace known for his
strength tried hard to push Yao Ming but
Yao Ming remained calm and stood still
Wallace had intended to build some
muscle but ended up making things worse
perhaps he had forgotten the terrifying moment when Yao Ming blocked him
Peković from Montenegro is not
only the top gangster in the NBA his
140 kilograms of muscle also make
countless NBA forwards fear him
Howard once complained to Dane Gundy
that Peković was like a mixed martial arts
champion who couldn't be moved he was the strongest basketball player in the world
In 2020 Drummond also said that Pecović was the strongest
person he had ever met and that
he could knock me off my feet
I'm just like a little kid being played around by him Even if I use all
my strength I can't move him Now I
will train harder to build my strength
It's all thanks to him
In 2014 Pekovic stole an offensive rebound
Scaring the Kings' bench into fleeing
There will be a killing similar to O'Neal's style
A reporter once asked
What is your favorite Christmas food
Peković only said one word Meat
In 2019 when ESPN asked players to vote
to select the strongest active NBA player
Neptune Adams easily received the most votes
This New Zealand giant earned a famous nickname
due to his strong build and excellent balance
The Unshakable Dance
Adams once said these words
In the gym many people can easily beat me
For example Ibaka
Because he spends all day there and is much better than me
But on the field I could knock
him all over the place and
Adams' strength also showed
up in another way on the field
In 2022 Adams helped his teammate
make a buzzer-beater with a
full-court serve which measured 28.65 across the entire court
Also among the top
three longest assists
in NBA history O'Neal O'Neal's height is
2.16 meters weight 147 kilograms and his
overall power is historically significant
Almost no one could withstand his backboard dunks Also
O'Neal rarely went to the gym to lift weights He thought
he was already tired enough over the
entire season so there was no need to put in extra effort to lift weights
O'Neal said his favorite exercises during the
off-season are bench press and swimming and he also revealed his maximum bench press reached 215
kilograms although the data cannot be verified
But considering the peak weight of O'Neal
during the Hu people's era which reached as
high as 180 kilograms he might really have
been able to do it as Battler once did in a game
A slap knocked O'Neal to the ground
But later the big man admitted
guarding O'Neal for a game
I needed
ten days to recover if I can't stop the boy he'll commit fouls anyway
Sometimes people have told
me that when I play a game they have to guard me and
after that they might need
to rest for three days If I
guard them for a game they
might need to rest for ten days Now I feel like that
At 2 meters 18
centimeters tall
his speed his coordination his
explosive power that's really
something I think
anyway so far
I think he's the hardest to guard among the centers
He should be the hardest
to guard in human basketball
Although body size and muscle dimensions
cannot directly determine a person's strength
attributes looking at Ma Long's huge biceps can
only be said to be true
the iron elbow never lies
In 1985 when Ma Long first entered the
league his weight was only 113 kilograms
but his body fat percentage was as
high as 10.5% After years of training
Ma Long has always maintained a weight of 113
kilograms but most of his original body fat
was converted into muscle
and at his strongest
Ma Long's body fat percentage was only 4.8%
Ma Long once took down Barkley on the
court causing a muscle tear and once
knocked out David Robinson sending
him to the hospital
with a steel elbow
Even the "Smiling Assassin
" had
to be stitched with 40 stitches In 1997 a Jazz strength coach said that everyone was asking me
how much weight Ma Long could bench press
I'll impatiently
tell them 160
kilograms Are
you satisfied But you know they want answer like
230 kilograms to be satisfied
So I would then say he benches 160
kilograms sprints to
the other end of the
court benches another 160 kilograms and
then does bench presses back and forth
It's probably only about 100 times
After saying that
they would be shocked to their core
Schwarzenegger once certified that 47-year-
old Chamberlain could
lift him with one hand
while the Terminator weighed 110 kilograms
and Chamberlain did it solely by strength
You can make the NBA into a quality
player In a game Chamberlain
and KC Jones were tangled up
Angry Chamberlain raised the ball
He made a chest pass with both hands
along with the ball with KC Jones
and threw it out
afterwards KC Jones recalled
he was standing at the free-throw line
his legs still trembling uncontrollably
Another game
Chamberlain slammed the ball hard in front of Johnny Cole
This shot was powerful and forceful
When the basketball went through the hoop and landed
It broke Cole's toe
Cole once said people
were talking about
how strong O'Neal was In my opinion Chamberlain could have
lifted O'Neal I don 't
mean to offend O'Neal but Chamberlain
It really was on another level
A game Gus Johnson tried to
block Chamberlain's dunk but
was hit by the tremendous force
He was forcefully thrown to the floor
Johnson was lying on the floor at the time
with a broken shoulder
in great pain
and was eventually carried out of the arena by staff
that's how it was
Johnson became the only player in NBA history to dislocate his shoulder from a
block the first player in NBA history to
have ever been revealed by Istanbul Rob
Chamberlain once playfully wrestled with two teammates
One of the teammates was too rough
Angered Chamberlain grabbed both of their collars
Like kicking a child
Lifting them off the ground
Rob feared that Chamberlain would hit
their heads together as shown in movies
Knowing that
these two NBA players' weights
They all weighed over 90 kilograms
but in Zhang Dashuai's hands
they looked like two small cookies
In fact
almost everyone who had met Zhang
Chenglin admitted
he was the one they had ever seen
The strongest person in
the world No one else
