Just a guy is the national bench press champion

Congratulations to IM's own "Just a guy" who says he bench presses 415 lbs (in his sig line) and is in high school (His bench went from 205 to this weight in less a year). That would make him the all time national record holder in the 220 lb class. Way to go, he is just an amazing guy!! wow!!

here is the official list for comparison sake.

While you're at it, there's 15 year old kids squatting in the 400's and deadlifting in the 600's for reps on IM.

Wow, we've been blessed with some strong ass dudes on this board

Who cares what they can or can't lift? I had a friend tell me he could rep out at 500 on the squat and he was only going about half way down. I never said a word until he asked me if his form was good.



If sense were common, everyone would have it.

well, probably cuz its a BB forum. Don't get me wrong, i dont get offended or anything, i just call out people's B.S. when i see it, that's all.

If this were a basketball forum for instance, and somebody said they were a better player than Michael Jordan, i'd say bullshit. that's all....

Just watch out for that national record, someone by the name of Kevin rice is going to be attempting to break that. He has a site, i don't have it at the top of my head, but he has videos of him benching 455lbs (touch and go..no pause).....i think he said the national teen record was like 430 (good form) at 198 class.

Heres Hughes... I wonder, since all of them lift together and are huge, if they use gear together?

Gyno??

If you watch the video of Kevin Rice bench 455, his form is horrible and his lift would get red flagged all the time. He bridges like crazy, and he also grips the bar way too wide (its too much like a bb'er bench).

And yes, that looks like gyno to me (although it could just be genetic, we would have to see older pictures of him to be sure). But its pretty rare for a kid with good genetics and a very low % bf to have that nipplage

Doesn't sound very believable. But, he could lift for a different association. There's tons ADFPA is just one. I know I don't lift for them, or i'd be close to the records right now But yea, that kinda gain is unreal.

Its funny that people feel they need to lie about their weights to impress other weight training athletes! If you are real hardcore and a dedicated intense BB, we will be able to tell that without ever asking how much you bench. You don't have to lie to kick it you bitches.........ha ha

i really can lift an 86 escort a little bit, i would imagine you could to flex

Truth is numbers are important and although it is easy to lie to yourself and everyone else on the net b/c you most likely will never have to prove it, like true lifters know the iron never lies and doesnt care about your feelings
