What level did you play at? I played at a fairly high level and we did indeed do high reps to increase muscle stamina. Granted it was a long time ago, and things, I'm sure have changed a bit, but to say doing high reps does nothing for muscle fatigue is at best ill informed.
Not only does it help with muscle fatigue but it builds muscle.
I wasn't contesting the muscle endurance statement. I was specifically contesting the priority of bench press training for a football player.

Which insinuates if not outright says you do not think muscle endurance is important for football.
Is this what you are saying, or am I misunderstanding you?

Let me clarify what I am saying. I am not arguing that it is a great "event" for the combine. I am not arguing that a player should have his draft position greatly affected by what he does on the bench press. I am saying that it is an indication of upper body strength and muscle endurance, which are important factors for a football player. I suspect we are on the same page, but missing each others points and misunderstanding what we are saying.
