Question about recruits' statistics

[coUrAgeWins]

I have always wondered, in the Bench Press stat for high school recruits the standard is the number of reps at 185lbs. Is that 140lbs of weight plus the 45lb bar for a total of 185lbs, or 185lbs of weight plus the 45lb bar for a total of 230lbs?

I'm sure the weight is the total weight of bar + weights. I don't know if 185 is the weight used for high school kids, but I'm pretty sure 225 is the weight used at NFL combines.

I also seem to recall a linebacker that graduated during the Shula error that only did 6 or 7 reps at the combine. That should tell you about everything you need to know about the Shula era.

For high school its 185, which is including the bar. For the NFL its 225.

Goodness gracious! Are you serious?
