Fitness enthusiasts and Tom Brady fans alike are buzzing over the NFL legend’s latest YouTube vlog, where he revealed a surprising detail about his workout routine—his max bench press.
While Brady is known for his excellence on the football field, his bench press number might not be what you’d expect from someone who’s often hailed as a superhuman athlete.
In his latest video, which dropped Thursday morning, Brady takes viewers inside his Miami mansion’s gym to showcase his strength. The clip reveals Tom Brady warming up with weights in the 100s before moving on to the main event: a 225-pound bench press, which he handled with ease.
But the real test came when he added an additional 20 pounds, pushing himself to lift 245 pounds—the most weight he’s ever attempted.
The first try wasn’t perfect—Brady needed a bit of assistance to get the bar up. However, after a quick adjustment and a new spotter, the seven-time Super Bowl champion successfully locked out the 245 pounds, setting a personal record in the process.
This rare glimpse into Brady’s workout routine shows that even the greatest athletes have their challenges, but with determination and a little help, they can achieve new heights.
