The BP rep test is huge waste of time.
Most people don't even understand how little it means to this sport.

I agree. If a guy can bench 225 pounds 4 more times than another guy, does that mean he is stronger or that he spends more time in the gym?
Hell, can Darvin Adams even bench 225? LOL.

Incorrect. There is some useful info to be gained from this drill.
From LINK (you can watch an explanation of what GMs and Coaches are looking for when watching the drill)
Bench press
The bench press is a test of strength -- 225 pounds, as many reps as the athlete can get. What the NFL scouts are also looking for is endurance. Anybody can do a max one time, but what the bench press tells the pro scouts is how often the athlete frequented his college weight room for the last 3-5 years.
