I am from a town not that far from Silsbee TX. Mark Henry is an ICON there. In school we had weight lifting competitins and that put us up against Silsbee sometimes, so believe me when I tell you that he is not juiced up and I would love for you to take a trip there someday and confront him. That way the tabloids would read retard gets beat by the strongest man.

That was probably 4 real plates.

The way that bar bounced I don't think that was fake at all, what source claims this? I am muy curioso.

Ive heard that shit before that it was fake. Really, who would make this shit up? Honestly, I cant see Tank making it up. He never gives a shit about shit.

And why did this thread come back up?

The one thing that makes me want to believe him is that he was genetically a huge kid. At age 9 mark Henery already weighed in at 220lbs!! So, drugs or not, it is still safe to say that he is a freak of nature.

I met a kid at on a church trip that weighed 300lbs when he was 12. He transfered to our school when his dad got a job at our church. Some friends and I went to the gym after Wednesday night youth church, and we invited him with us. He could bench press 315 the very first time he ever touched a weight. His form was ugly as shit, but he did it. He came out for football, and sucked because he had the most horrid condditioning, then moved the next year, so I don't know what happened to him.

I'll never forget that there are some genetic freaks out there that are superior to me to matter how hard I try. Thats just life.

^ Yes. It is not abnormal that those of us who are NOT gifted and wish we were, to pursue things like weights the hardest. I was never that strong, without training I always benched a little under my bodyweight. So ever since I was a kid I admired strength, and considered being able to defend yourself something highly important. I have a slight paranoia about being victimized, perhaps watching too much Chuck Norris and Charles Bronson when I was a kid!

There is a big black guy in my gym who can hit 405x10 during a working set, which for me is still so up there that its almost to be unbelieved until you see it. Buddy of mine Brian (also a "big black guy") used to be my size a few years ago, now he has ~21 inch arms at 5'11" although my bench is still better than his, he beats me everywhere else.

Ryan Kennelly holds the current bench press record at 1070 lbs. (Though in conscious relation to the original query of the origin of this thread, he is not a professional wrestler)
