Sorry to dump on you, but you should change your User Title. LOL

I say that the only guys that get a pass on bench press are the tall guys with the huge wingspan. Hardy is around 6'7 so his wingspan is probably 6'7. Kevin Durant is the ultimate poster boy for this. With a 7'1 wingspan he couldn't even bench 185 pounds.

Calias Campbell might get a pass as well because he's 6'7 like Hardy.

It's a well known fact that being barrell chested gives you a huge advantage in the bench press.

Monk is 6'6 so that gives him a huge disadvantage going into the bench press.
