900lb Bench Press

 

[KataMaStEr]

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

 

[Mudge]

Damn, is this official?

 

[chaznad1]

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

 

[Flex]

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........

 

[Mudge]

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.

 

[chaznad1]

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

[prophet]

haha.. that's some crazy ish

 

[camarosuper6]

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

 

[gr81]

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

 

[JerseyDevil]

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?

 

[Mudge]

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.

 

[naturaltan]

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..

 

[Arnold]

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.

 

[buffed]

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..

 

[HoldDaMayo]

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?

 

[Mudge]

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.

 

[nectron101]

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

 

[plouffe]

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

 

[Mudge]

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

 

[pood]

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.
