Rumor at the big money poker rooms here in Vegas is the JR Bellande has made the following prop bet: Bench Press, 10 reps of 365, by next July 4th. He apparently laid 8-1.

Good luck JR!

win-win for him.

if he wins, he wins.
if he loses, he can't afford to pay.

ridiculous bet, do not think he has the human capabilities to pull it off.
nfl players who lift everyday cant do it, and they are humongous human beings and sick athletes who dedicate their lives to being strong.

I remember on the Survivor program, JR looked very masculine, very strong.

Also, this could be good publicity for the reality show he is pitching.

Depends what he's starting at. If he's anywhere under 225x10 already there is no chance in hell. 365 is huge -- 3 plates + 25 on each side and 10 is a hypertrophy rep. Anyone doing 365x10 can easily push 400 for their strength range. I'd bet my last penny against him.

Can he juice?

JR is a pile of lard IRL. His 10 rep max might be 175. And even that might be a stretch. I've been lifting a long time and the idea of anyone adding close to 200 lbs to their bench (not to mention 10 rep max) in 8 months is laughable.
IF he juiced and trained his arse off, I might find something like 250 x 10 within the realm of reality.

EDIT: the more i think about it, the more obvious this bet is nothing more than a publicity stunt (you're welcome for bumping it again); 365 x 10 is impossible. Doubt there's a player in any of the 4 major sports that could do it. I'd bet against him even if it was a single rep at 365.

p.s. obviously using a bench press shirt would not be allowed.

It depends how much he weighs, JR is 6'6 and not a thin 6'6 so he could easily weigh 260+, so it would be less then 1.5 times his body weight, so it should be doable with training.

Gotta be able to juice and use HGH right?

First, the dude who said the bench press shirt is "obviously" not allowed, uh I didn't see it listed in the OP so I guess it's not the obvious. My guess is he plans on using this.

Second, he's a tall guy with some long arms which makes this so much harder because those muscles are so much longer then someone who has short little stub arms.

I don't see him winning this bet even with the shirt.

NVG lol

You're out of your mind. So is anyone who thinks this is possible.

being tall hurts him for this, it doesn't help. If he has serious money on this and doesn't juice or get on the HGH train he is crazy.

no chance in hell he can in 1 year. has more to do with his height than anything else

Depending on his current max, it's definitely possible if max is @ 250, 260. Otherwise, its very difficult.
