Thread: 900lb Bench Press

That’s a lot of weight, funny watching people walk around with a bench shirt

Damn, is this official?

i really want to see this but for some strange reason its not playing,,, i really didnt think 900 was even possible

man, i only close grip 850, but i cant touch 900 lol.

that guy is nuts! its only a matter of time before guys are benchin over 1000........

I shudder to think how much suspension that guy is running, probably injecting 5 times a day

It was not long ago that 820 was the top bench.

ya it just freezes when it comes to play,,, ill figure it out another time,, its 2:30 am,,, and i have a client at 6:00 ,,, this seems to be happening often
sleeping late and awaking early to train clients,,, im really not enjoying this at all

You probably need the latest version.

haha.. that's some crazy ish

Id rather bench 200 lbs then look like that guy...

he sure does have quite the getup on doesn't he. very impressive though. thats a monster bench alright

That doesn't look like 900 lbs loaded on the bar. It's hard to tell on the video, but it appears to be 4 - 45's and a single 100 pounder, plus a 25 on each side. If so, thats closer to 700 lbs.

Prince, who is that?

Those guys dont use 45s hardly ever, anything in a meet will start at 100 pounds. Many guys doing 400+ deadlifts are only doing two plates.

LOL, he's a powerlifter his only concern is strength.

you have to respect the amount of weight these guys move, not how their physiques look.

impressive

Check out this video, thats where its from. In here you can see more clearly that the weights are of different sizes. Much bigger..

that is not the same video, the one I posted was a 900lb bench press.

here is an 875lb bench video:

Hey, I know that guy, he played Mushmouth on the Fat Albert show. He must have that diseadse Michael Jackoson has. Boy has he grown.

My bad... but they are wearing the same cap and their body looks the same. i guess they are both the same person. damn these guys are monsters.. they can bench press three ladies on each side..

I'm sorry, but those guys look like that chick from willi wonka that ate the blueberry crap and turned into a giant blueberry... how do they get in and out of cars?

He was wearing a double ply poly open back shirt.But each ply was double thickness (this is a special edition to fit the rules of organizations that require one ply no matter the thickness and not double ply).
So in effect he was wearing a quadruple ply Phenom shirt.Single ply gives 100 lbs so quadruple gives 250+.
Anything that would make 900 pounds difficult to touch to your chest is giving enough help to constitute this a ridiculous sport.
I can't think of a single logical reason that someone would want to bench 900 in this fashion and not a solid raw 700 (other than being caught in the numbers game)..
This has gone too far.

Haha, good description. It's true too.

WOW!!!!
where can I find BB clips on the net??
want to download some!!!

You that sob was covered head to toe in benchshirts... lol im sure he's pushing like 750 - 775ish w/o shirts/straps

A good set of shirts will throw on 150-200 pounds, some guy who did I believe 825 was only doing 647 shirtless.

wow, crazy, but i bet his tits are like XXXXL cuz his so fat so he won't have to lower it as far.

that guy needs to loose some weight

How does wearing a shirt help your bench?

same concept as wearing knee wraps, it produces a spring-like effect in the chest/shoulders, they usually require two to three people just to get it on.
