Dear behrang10-ga:

This does not provide you with a definitive answer but it‘s the best
verifiable information I can find. I posted it as a comment but if you
are satisfied with it as an answer let me know and I can repost it as
an answer and close your question:

According to a recent articles on the “Askmen.com” and “Muscular
Development” websites Shaquille O'Neal has this daily workout that he
observes without fail:

Legs
Leg Press: 2 warm-up sets of 20-15 reps, then 3 sets of 12-6 reps
Step-Ups: 3 sets, 8-10 reps
One-Legged Press: 3 sets, 8 reps

Calves
Seated calf-raise: 3 sets, 12 reps
Leg press calf-raise: 3 sets, 12 reps
Standing calf-raise: 3 sets, 12 reps

Chest
Dumbbell bench press: 3 sets, 6-12 reps
Dumbbell incline press: 3 sets, 6-12 reps
Dumbbell flyes: 3 sets, 6-12 reps

Lats
Cable pull-downs: 3 sets, 6-12 reps
Dumbbell or machine rows: 3 sets, 6-12 reps
Pull-ups: 3 sets, 6-12 reps

Biceps
Barbell curls: 3 sets, 6-12 reps
Dumbbell curls: 3 sets, 6-12 reps

Triceps
Triceps cable push-downs: 3 sets, 6-12 reps 
Lying triceps extensions: 3 sets, 6-12 reps
Machine dips: 3 sets, 6-12 reps

Delts
Dumbbell military press: 3 sets, 6-12 reps

OR

Single arm military press: 3 sets, 6-12reps
Front dumbbell raises: 3 sets, 8-12 reps
Lateral dumbbell raises: 3 sets, 8-12 reps
Rear delt dumbbell raises: 3 sets, 8-12 reps
Dumbbell shrugs: 3 sets, 6-12 reps

Shaq can bench press more than 1000 lbs. His strength and conditioning
coach, Jim Cotta was quoted on the “Health and Inspiration” website as
saying "I'm not trying to kill him, but we need to go heavy enough to
get something out of it."

Simply amazing isn’t it?

Best regards;

Thanks, but thats not what im looking for. If you look at it carefully
its under his leg workout. He can do over 1000 on the leg press. It
says that in two of those articles.
Thanks alot though for the info.

Still looking his max bench though.
