Tom Brady impresses fans with personal best bench press in training video

NFL legend Tom Brady can still dunk a basketball. He can also apparently bench press more than the average 47-year-old.

The former New England Patriots quarterback posted a workout video on Thursday titled “My first max bench press in 18 years.” In the video, Brady revealed that the last time he did a max bench press was in 2005 or 2006, when he was training with backup quarterback Matt Cassel on the Patriots.

Eighteen years later, Brady decided to get back in the gym and see how much he could bench press. He managed to bench press 245 pounds, a personal best at age 47.

“If you had told me this morning that I had to do 245, I would say, ‘You’re crazy,'” Brady said with a laugh.

“If I was trying to unretire, I wouldn’t be doing this,” he added.

After Brady’s latest viral video of him dunking a basketball, it appears the seven-time Super Bowl champion is trying to relive his Combine days. So far this offseason, he’s tested his vertical on the court, bench pressed his max weight in the gym, and ran the 40 yards in February, reportedly surpassing his time of 40 when he was 22.

In 2022, Brady signed a 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox to become the network’s top analyst. He will make his NFL debut with Kevin Burkhardt on Sept. 8, calling the Dallas Cowboys-Cleveland Browns game in Week 1.
