does anyone know how manny wright is in shape right now? last year he was out of shape at the workout and his lack of upper-body strength with just 16 repetitions in the 225-bench-press was 11 below average for a potential standout defensive tackle... :shakeno: is he stronger this year? for example, brodrick bunkley did 44 and rodrique wright did 31 with his injury at the combine...
 
at what workout did he do 16 reps? its not like he was at the combine or prodays or anything like that...

now I may be wrong on this but, I believe Manny was suffering through the flu when he did those reps, combine that with the fact that he was a little out of shape. If he hasn't lifted in a month or so, you would be amazed how quickly your bench lifts can go down.

But muscle has memory and I'm sure he was back to where he needed to be in a few weeks. So assuming all the above, those 16 reps not what he could have really put up.

I'm sure he's kept in shape through the off season, and is just fine.

now to answer your question, I don't know what kinda shape he is in, but they have team workouts and we haven't heard anything about him beeing in bad shape, so I'll asume he's fine.

Perhaps because we have yet to see him in shape?
 
Last i heard he was down from 332 pounds to around 312 and was feeling a lot more "fit"....

He did however miss the awards ceremony...

it's just because i read that his work ethic isn't the best and that he could have some trouble to motivate himself to get in good shape...
 
well all I could say is that if he doesn't get motivated by the dolphins getting evans, wright and fifita. I dont know what else could. Hopefully he is in shape and ready to go.
 
# of reps at 220 is over-rated. Anatomy plays a big role.... People with longer arms are at a mechanical dissadvantage. The best bench pressers have short arms, not a great attribute for a lineman.
