Just a guy is the national bench press champion

**maddog1** · 03-30-2004, 12:09 PM

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

**nikegurl** · 03-30-2004, 12:30 PM

damn! that's crazy at 15. i only starting squatting over 400 lbs this year and i'm a lot older than that.

**Dale Mabry** · 03-30-2004, 12:44 PM

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.

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....

**Alaric** · 03-30-2004, 04:34 PM

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.

**PreMier** · 03-30-2004, 05:05 PM

LOL!!!

**PreMier** · 03-30-2004, 05:53 PM

That kid is FUCKING HUGE!

**derekisdman** · 03-30-2004, 05:55 PM

Heh yeah, most of the guys on that site are pretty big, strong, and impressive.

**PreMier** · 03-30-2004, 06:03 PM

Stoney is pretty impressive 19yrs old http://home.t-online.de/home/Klaus.D...ies_stoney.htm

And Shane from BB.com is insane.. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hreadid=240902

**Alaric** · 03-30-2004, 06:08 PM

Look at Jeff Hughes on Kevin Rice's website, 345lb bench press @ 167lbs (touch and go).....

**PreMier** · 03-30-2004, 06:16 PM

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

Gyno??

One more... This is big, so here is the link. http://web.mit.edu/kevtrice/www/pict...hesRelaxed.jpg

**Yanick** · 03-30-2004, 06:18 PM

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

Did you give him a cookie?

**camarosuper6** · 03-30-2004, 11:18 PM

I cant say for sure, but those guys look a bit "overly anabolic" to me.

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.

**Deeznuts** · 03-31-2004, 05:52 PM

Shane's friggin amazing. Makes me look like a pussy!

lol no, i gave him a protein bar

**gr81** · 03-31-2004, 11:17 PM

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

what are you tryin' to say

....that i don't squat 985 for reps, deadlift cars in the parking lot and bench 800? is that too hard to believe

Oh yeah, I do overhead presses with semi trailers for reps and thats just my warm up.

**Flex** · 04-01-2004, 02:38 PM

damn bro, but thats still nothing compared to some high schooler's on this forum

**derekisdman** · 04-01-2004, 04:30 PM

Yeah, I can lift some cars too, but i'm still weak. See, the cars i'm referring to are hot wheels.

**X Ring** · 04-01-2004, 04:34 PM

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

**myCATpowerlifts** · 04-01-2004, 05:33 PM

i squat Bulldozers man...ill be moving up to cranes pretty soon
i tell you what

**JerseyDevil** · 04-01-2004, 05:36 PM

There is a big difference between a bench press in a sanctioned meet, and a touch and go in the gym. Some of the numbers I hear on the net do seem unbelievable. Go to the Criticalbench.com forum and you'll quickly see if you can 'only' bench 350, you are a friggin pussy. These guys claim benches in the 400-500 lb range and insist no juice. Mmmm...k.

Anyhow, I do know of a high school junior in my gym who really can do 3 or 4 clean reps with 320. I know because I've spotted him on a couple of occasions. I'm guessing he weighs about 220, and I seriously doubt he juices. He is a linebacker on the high school football team and the last I heard, both Virginia and Florida were interested in giving him a scholarship.
