re: Jessie Williams bench press rep count at the NFL Combine?

Not that many of you will understand this, but this article breaks down why 30 reps at 225 does not take away from Jesse's accomplishments this off-season. It also explains how this is not a dissappointing outcome.

The expected outcome of this experiment is that the subjects who had the highest muscular strength in lab six will perform the worst in the muscular endurance lab because they will be type II fiber dominant.

The data shown illustrates almost exactly what was hypothesized. Subject one produced the most force and was the first male to reach failure. This makes perfect sense, seeing as his training status says that he is an elite powerlifter, and powerlifters are only concerned with their maximal force production (i.e., lifting the most amount of weight possible). He is type II fiber dominant and produced 220 N more force than the second strongest male participant. The time to failure was 3:33, which was about half a minute faster than the next strongest participant.
