Yesterday, I guy at my gym that won the Mr. Pittsburgh strongman comp a few years back was doing squats with 765 for a single. But he did it only wearing a belt and knee wraps. NO SQUAT SUIT. He the hung 100lb dumbells from the bar, for a total of 965, and did partial reps. It was just amazing. And he did this with no spotter. Just in a squat rack.

A guy at my gym weighing about 210, squats 550 for 12

I have seen some big numbers in my gym, but i think the most impressive was a 140 kilos (300 lb more or less?) bench press for 6 reps...
I know, this may not seem so big, but have in mind that the guy who did it weights like 130 lbs, and has like 5 foot...He is very cut, so a lot of his weight its muscles, but he is very small, given his height...
For sure, pound per pound, the most strong guy i have seen (he has some other strong exercises too, leg presses, military presses, barbell rows...etc...)

I'll tell you the funniest. Jimmy Pelechia in an under armour shirt on the smith machine close grip benching 6 plates a side with a spotter doing deadlifts to help him.

To be fair to Jimmy, I have seen him curl 100's and he's damn strong, but whenever he'd do bench excersizes I'd laugh my ass off.

Oh yeah, and he's a real nice guy too. I'd run into him in 7-11 at like 3AM sometimes, he'd be baked and getting coffee and he'd always chat me up.

a friend of mine, Norwegian extraction, benches 425 at 210-215 bodweight..........natur al-never touched a steroid in his life.

The football coach at my high school, a former Marine, picked up 200lb kid and threw him like a ragdoll about 12 feet because he was acting like a dick.

The same coach also plays with the football team during their practices WITHOUT a helmet (when he plays at lineman, he still smashes his head on their facemask and doesn't even care).

And again, the same coach also benched 405 for about 8 reps, easily, with no warmup just to show up a loudmouth kid.

POSSIBLE. Not saying it happened...but its gotta be possible. Ronnie hit the 160s in his video x like 12 reps....im sure he could hit the 200's for a few reps....

BigDave81 · « **Reply #121 on:** March 09, 2008, 07:58:03 PM »

The most impressive lifts I ever saw was by one man. He stood about 5'8 at a weight of 240lbs and was only 24yrs old.
455lb BNP for 5 reps

585lb incline bench for 5 reps

120lb dumbbell side lateral raises for 6 reps

150lb concentration curls for 6 reps

Then did drop sets
90lb seated hammer curls for 12
then 80, 70, down to sixty all for 12 reps.

he only did 5 reps with the 160's on his video, even Ronnie couldn't touch the 220's for shoulder presses.
