1010 lb bench press

I don't know if he actually did it and if that is really 1010Lb's? But that man can barely move his arm..

 

yeah he doesnt use steroids

 

That's nothing, Pat Robertson can do a 2000lb leg press.

 

I only count 5 45 lb plates on each side which would be 450 lbs plus bar. Looks like 495 lbs to me.

Here's a guy on Men's Health Magazine website benching almost 700 lbs and the dude only weighs 170

You know...that looks like Guy V. Lewis!

Guy Lewis could easily do that! He could also chew the leg off a mountain lion, use the lion's tears as antiseptic and sew the leg back on using the lion's whiskers.

To BILL BRASK...errrr...GUY LEWIS!

 

Well then I guess I'm wrong. I guess I figured a 100 lb plate would look bigger than a 45. Pretty damn impressive!

 

Can somebody tell me what that weird little half shirt thingy is that powerlifters wear and how it helps/works?

 

I don't know what to say about that...except...that unitard is damn sexy.

 

I think that keeps you from ripping your shoulders apart.

 

It's called a bench press shirt. It comes in different styles, I used to wear a full one when I did power lifting a long time ago.

Usually it takes a couple of people to put that shirt on for you, very tight elastic materials. The purpose of the shirt is for injury prevention and performance enhancing.

Imagine lifting weights as much as half of a small car, it puts a lot strain on your soft tissues, torn pecs , rotator cups, biceps and triceps injuries are very common.

When you put that shirt on you can actually lift more than your normal max.

Hope that help Sam.

FYI: My max all time bench was only 475 lbs at a body weight of 198lbs.

 

WTF, i dont get it why would you take enough roids to look like that guy?? he looks a little Odd dont you guys think? And the sad part is that probably the guy who he dedicated the lift to, died of steroid usage!!!

 

I would be more impressed if he didn’t have that particular weight shirt on. Some weight shirts are so strong that you could hold 250lbs and still not be able to pull the bar to you chest. When the shirt does the lifting it’s not very impressive.

 

Does he have someone wipe his butt for him after taking a crap because its obvious he ain't reaching himself.

Seems almost like a handicap to me.

Edit: after looking again looks like that without that shirt he can probably move them a bit better.

 

I hear the benchpress shirt can boost your max up to 200 pounds...

 

Impressive. My 162 lb frame at max has done 350 lbs. But when you get to a certain point its all mental.

 

Absolutely right. I don't even bother laying on the bench any more. I just hang at the water fountain and bang out a set of 500x12 with my mind.

 

lol his legs could barely touch the floor
