I know and Im not really sure why to be honest. Probably because there are other ways of testing leg strength/explosiveness that are actually sports related. (broad jump, verticle, position and drills) There really isnt any other way to test chest strength that would apply to a game situation?
And like I was saying before the only positions that the 225lb rep test really matter (as far as possibly dropping in the draft) to is O line, D line and LB… It doesnt really matter what a running back, receiver or qb puts up in the bench. Scouts care more about 40 time, vert, broad jump, cone and position drills.

other than OL/DL and LB, youre 225 rep number really isnt that big of a factor and not all too many coaches care about it. I play at a D1aa uni and we almost never bench more than once a week
