How much weight do you think the pros can lift?

[whoopinstick]

How much weight do you think the pros can lift? I feel like tsonga would be able to lift more than everyone else. But I don't feel like Federer could lift that much: his right forearm is huge but his elbow is bigger than his tricep.

Heres my list for the top 10 players and most wieght they can lift with their upper body:

1. Tsonga
2. Verdasco
3. Nadal
4. Roddick
5. Del po
6. murray
7. Djoker
8. Soderling
9. Federer
10. Davydenko

 

[big bang]

LOL not very realistic!

 

[cesarmo03]

1. Tsonga
2. Verdasco
T3. Soderling
T3. Nadal
T4. Murray
T4. Delpo
T4. Roddick
8. Davydenko
9. Federer
10. Djoker

 

[SourStraws]

What about Monfils?

S.S.

 

[raiden031]

Dead lift? Squat? Bench? Curl? I would think the type of lift might make a difference.

 

[Marcus]

I think Murray would be quite strong

Nadal third?

Nadal isn't even in the top 5 regarding this. I can give you many more guys who have way more upper body stregth and are more developed: verdasco,soderling,tursunov,andreev,murray,monfils and many others.

Nadal is a guy with average shoulders,a really big bicep and flat chest. His upper body physique as a whole wouldn't stand out in a crowd if you didn't know who he was.

Delpo is a tall guy, but his arms look like twigs in those sleeveless shirts, no way his in the top 5.....

Top 10 only

1. Tsonga
2. Soderling
3. Verdasco
4. Murray
5. Roddick
6. Del Potro
7. Nadal
8. Federer
9. Davydenko
10. Djokovic

Del Potro is big, but not particularly developed. Nadal has a big left bicep, but nothing else. In contrast, Tsonga Soderling Murray and Roddick all have very well developed upper bodies. Davydenko actually does as well, but I think he is too small to be up there.

 

[AutoXer]

nadal has to be #1 with the steriod rumors.

i dont think federer can outbench djoker.

 

[President]

i dont think federer can outbench djoker.

I disagree

VS

Federer's upper body is more developed.

 

[Deodorant]

I disagree
Federer's upper body is more developed.

i must have to say, maybe you right but ive seen people with pure strength bench more than people with a little better built bodies.

 

[sixone90]

Federer is thinner now than when that photo was taken

 

[defrule]

I see nipples.

 

[JeMar]

I don't think Del Potro is that muscular. Most of his power comes from timing and his legs.

 

[President]

I don't think Del Potro is that muscular. Most of his power comes from timing and his legs.

His legs are really skinny too. I think its more that his height allows him to hit the ball much flatter than most people because he can hit in a downward trajectory. That helps with the power. Although he is obviously strong, just because he is so big.

 

[T1000]

Tsonga
Monfils
Verdasco
Roddick
Murray
Some guy no one knows about who's ripped

In Roger's book, earlier in his career, Paganini got him to a point where he could press either 100kg or 120 kg, can't remember.

I'm not sure exactly what exercise Paganini is referring to, but i'm guessing he's referring to Bench pressing.

It wouldnt be suprised if he could. Roger may have some breadstick arms, but he seems to have a pretty wide upper body and broad shoulders. He only appears weak when you catch a glimpse of his left arm :shock:

 

[GoaLaSSo]

Tsonga
Verdasco
Roddick/Nadal (The roddick from a year or two ago was much bigger and more muscular. linebackerish)
Roddick/Nadal
Soderling
Murray
Federer
Delpo
Djokovic
Davydenko

All of them can probably lift a lot more than we think they can. Davydenko looks scrawny and so does joker but they are a lot bigger in person.

I would be shocked if Fed could bench 250lb. Absolutely stunned. I know for a fact that during his USO run a few years back Ginnepri was benching around 185 (12 reps I think) when he weighed 175. And Neps is way more built than Fed.

Being built has some correlation, but not totally. I'm bigger than my friend but he can bench much more than me.
