And if there were one, it would be many, many reps (certainly > 50, I'd
say).

50? Yeah right! That Texas University Offensive Linemen did 41 reps of 225 at
the NFL combine. The record has to be more than 50.

You should rephrase that as "would be if it existed" which it does
not.

That would be because it is unofficial...which is what I am trying to
say...and being official does make a difference. We would need to
know if there were judges there to make sure the individual was
touching his chest everytime...preferably pausing...on each rep. We
would need to know that they kept their butt in contact with the bench
the whole time. We would need to know if they kept thier feet on the
floor the whole time. See the need for judges? This is why I
differentiate between official and unofficial records. Official means
the record was done correctly.

The above link is his bio page on the website for his gym. BTW, anyone who
remembers me posting my BAWLA Powerlifting Grading results back in
february, this was the guy who adjucated (not sure what the proper word
is, umpire? judge?).

NFL record is either 51 0r 52 reps... Then a non NFL person (a bodybuilder) went to the NFL weight room and busted out 54. There's a dude who claims he did 80-82 reps, it was decline though.
