am arguing with some idiot on fuckin Youtube of all places about it! He swears he could because, are you ready for this, "it said he could in Muscle and Fitness" ha ha ha
425-440 was probably his heaviest ever 1RM attempts from what i can gather
-
I did 440 once. Christ, i was stronger than arnold? That does it, i'm cracking out my SUPERMAN T-shirt tomorrow!

haha, the comments on youtube are gold, u can tell when its a getbigger straight away.
i reckon 450 - 500. for i bouncy rep.
-
Arnold's chest was gigantic. He also had some huge arms. It would not be a stretch to give him 500 for a rep ::) He had a massive bone structure, and was strong. But, since we are talking about Arnold, the detractors will claim he would be lucky to get 225 for a rep, with pecs that looked like balloons.

you never did 440, anyway, i agree with Schimowser, Arnold never benched 500.

arnold could do whatever he wanted.

I think you and squadfather are right. I think arnolds arms are to long to handle 500 at his size.
-
Arnold benched 455-475. Touch & go, butt on the bench, solid hand-off. Solid BP... approaching double bodyweight.
-
Arnold has 7 Olympia titles that say....WHO CARES?

Arnold is the Govenor of the largest state in the union.

7 Olympias!!!
-
Arnold had arguably one of the biggest egos in BBing history, and his fvucking workout partner was a powerlifter. WTF do you think? He just sat back and conceded to Franco. Get a fvcking clue lol.
I dont want to talk about this again.
D
-
I could believe it, he was on juice. I did 405 for one at 22years old, natural, looking nothing like Arnold. He was juicing for years, so im sure he could.
-
Hasn't any of you assholes ever read anything Arnold ever wrote? He stated many times his best bench was 460!
-
Arnold had arguably one of the biggest egos in BBing history
With a kick-ass physique to back it. 8)
-
I read in his encyclopedia that he benched 500.
I read in the recent musclemag that he benched 440.
Either way he trained his chest with impecable form and volume plus enthusiasm that not one of the many bodybuilders today dare to replicate.

ronnie coleman destroys arnold's training. you have quite the crush on arnold.

Training wise maybe. Strengthwise yes. Arnold retired at an earlier age then Ronnie even started bodybuilding.

You know chick can put up 500lbs. Arnold is great, but he is a senior citizen.

In his bodybuilding encyclopedia, it says he benched 405 for 8 I think. That would put his 1 rep max in the low 500's, which is believeable. His pecs, along with biceps were his best bodyparts.
-

no
Ronnie WON 1990 Mr. Texas at 26. Arnold competed after 26.

IN CASE YOU FORGOT ITS ARNOLD, AND HES FUCKING HUGE

epic hams

Whatever son, you simply don't know the power of ANADROL! Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaa aa! I had a few back zits but i could shove that weight! yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaa!

i just bought last week the Muscle Mag special edition with like half of the magazine dedicated to Ahhhnold, and if i remember correctly he says exactly this, that his best bench was around 440 or 460 (i can look on the magazine and tell the right number later), and i think he even mentioned that he almost never did singles or 1rp max.
giving the fact this is not a small number and that he was the king of the 'go after the pump!!' i think its a great bench

It is 440 but I wouldn't doubt him if it turned out to be 500. Either way he was the best and strongest bodybuilder at the time.
-
(http://i9.tinypic.com/49lff6b.jpg)
I guess the guy was pretty strong, 500 is believable
-
Franco was stronger, wasn't he?
Yes that is what I heard but Franco followed more of a strength routine that is why his arms where tiny.

Him being a great deadlifter proves nothing about his benchpress.
In fact, it only suggests he's a weak benchpresser, since long limbs are helpful in the deadlift, but hurts the benchpress.

With the size and thickness of his chest (at his peak) I don't doubt it.. .the man has the best chest bodybuilding has ever seen, hands down.

when I was training to be a buddhist monk at the Dharmshala, I noticed the same phenomenon happen with the Dalai Lama. He would come in from the rain, and even his sandals would not be wet. Whenever I tried to ask him how it happened, he would say that such things were unimportant.
And on 90 degree days, we would all be sweating buckets while he didn't sweat a drop.

If I looked like Arnold I wouldn't care if it was 500 or 5lb weights. Franco said Arnold was a successful powerlifter so I say yes.
-

he had a great chest, but there have been better
Aaron Baker, for one, definitely had a better chest

Arnolder is a BBer, Big Bullshitter. He claims to be 6'2" yet he's only 6' he claims to be natural and yet you guys are gonna belive he can actually bench 500. If he could he would of claimed 550.
-
ok lundgrenisgod. you showed us.
-
Schimowser, have you seem his chest and arms? Now tell me he couldn't bench 500.
The guy was a powerlifter before turning to BBing. He probably did it in his early 20's, too.
-
you are so funny...im 40 years...215lb..way from ripped...my personal best is 410 and it is nothing special....i guess arnold at his best was way stronger ;D
-
yes i believe it, for reps? no way jose.
lets say when i am 25 i can bench 400 naturally. add juice 100lbs hell yea
-
yes i believe it, for reps? no way jose.
lets say when i am 25 i can bench 400 naturally. add juice 100lbs hell yea
no on both points, Arnold never benched 500 and as much as i like you Goudy you'll never bench 400.
-
400 will not be a big deal for me. bear in mind i am 20. 1rm is around 350lbs. have 5 years. and am over 6'3. def possible.
oh and for the ppl interested i have started a bbuilding routine properly. fucking sore all over lol
-
i would guess arnolds max was 450lbs or so.

How much do you weigh goudy?
Àny chance of posting a youtube clip of you benching 350?
-

Try working out off and on in one of his gyms since 1981. He is even more of a wussy than they made him out in Pumping Iron.

you mean all those claims he made in the past weren't true? ::)

I sure did. I must have been counting what I had in my wallet. ;D

Yes. In his younger days ('67-'74), definitely not now. But does it really matter??
-

im 220lbs i have lots of vids on youtube. one of around 310lbsx5 i think aswell.
-
ive never seen pics or clips of him pressing anything near 500, and what i have seen shows me he never went near that weight. So he had an enormous chest, does that automatically mean he could bench 500? Does it fuck. There have been smaller guys who could so alot MORE than that, but bigger guys who could do nowhere near that. Look passed the muscles and use your brains folks. He was never a 500 bencher
-
you are so funny...im 40 years...215lb..way from ripped...my personal best is 410 and it is nothing special....i guess arnold at his best was way stronger ;D
hahahahahaa, another internet poundage liar. ::)

I'd believe low to mid 400's for Arnold. If you look at the PL records for lifters in his weight class, most were only maxing in the 450-525 range.
But we are to believe a man who gave up his powerlifting/WL roots early on, was beating men with far more experience?
Sorry, I'm not buying it.

what are you talking about? everybody benches 500 on the internet, don't you know that?

Aren't there pics somewhere of Arnie benching 5 plates a side? (495) ?

But, since we are talking about Arnold, the detractors will claim he would be lucky to get 225 for a rep, with pecs that looked like balloons.
The "detractors" may be a little more objective, however. Max. somewhere around 425-450.
-
I read in his encyclopedia that he benched 500.
You mean Arnold occasionally makes stuff up? ;D
-
Training wise maybe. Strengthwise yes. Arnold retired at an earlier age then Ronnie even started bodybuilding.
Only an Arnold maniac would suggest that Ron in his 40s would have an advantage over Arnold in his mid-20s.
It is 440 but I wouldn't doubt him if it turned out to be 500. Either way he was the best and strongest bodybuilder at the time
How about gettin offa his nuts just once in a while? You ride em hard. :-\ Never saw anywhere over the years that he got remotely close to 5 plates. Would he still be your hero?
-
Schimowser, have you seem his chest and arms? Now tell me he couldn't bench 500.
The guy was a powerlifter before turning to BBing. He probably did it in his early 20's, too.
This is basic stuff..size like that doesn't immediately equate to big-time strength. He was never known as a particularly strong guy, especially for his weight.
IN CASE YOU FORGOT ITS ARNOLD, AND HES FUCKING HUGE
You can't tell the difference between a BB and weightlifter.
-
Arnold no more than 450 tops and even thats being generous.
What i want to know is what was Olivia`s 1 rep max?
-

Based on the weights shown for his old workouts seemed he had good not great strength, around 500 more or less. Maybe a little stronger but closer to Schwarzenegger, not as strong as Columbu or Sipes who were both smaller guys.
-
What do you think about reg park pumpster?
-
What do you think about reg park pumpster?
Don't know much about him but from what i remember he had pretty good strength especially considering that it was 50-60s ago before widespread roid use. Size might've related more closely to strength before drugs were a bigger factor.
-
supposedly Reg was one of the first guys to bench 500 pounds
-
supposedly Reg was one of the first guys to bench 500 pounds
Reg Park's cable training system.
http://www.sandowplus.co.uk/Competition/Park/Cable/park-cable.htm
In 1954 Reg's 500 lb bench press was the first-ever in Europe and he had thus equalled the standard set by the much heavier Doug Hepburn who was at that time world weightlifting champion. As in all sports, with the passing of time standards have gone higher but even today 500lb is a pretty awesome weight.
In 1953 he broke the longstanding British Dumbbell record with a lift of 258 lbs. His training poundages were staggering:
a.. Incline and flat Bench Presses with a pair of 185 lb dumbbells.
b.. Sets of Squats with 510 lbs. Singe repSequat - 600lbs.
c.. Press Behind Neck 300 lbs.
d.. Alternate D.B. presses with a pair of 120's

Anyone who thinks there is no way AS could have ever benched 500lbs has NEVER been into a REAL gym. You pukes cant imagine it because youve never seen it in you 24 hour fitness centers. Grow some balls one day and go take a free tour of a gym. Youll see 495 or better thrown up daily, by far less athletes than AS. Oh, and dont wear your hairspray, jewelry, or your new track suit.....youll look like a douche.

Hahahahahah he probably has "Its not punishment.." on one arm and "it's revenge" on the other. WAHHHHHHHHHHHH I have im 16 and i hate my father syndrome so i take that out along with all my years of being bullied in highschool out on the weights. Hahahaha what a douche.

Just to clarify then..going to a real gym would allow us to buy the fantasy of Arnold nerds that he could bench 5 wheels? ???
I'd like to know what happens to these clowns' minds when they realize he wasn't as strong as what's in their fantasies. ;)

What a fucking moron. I have seen guys bench 500+ pounds with no bench shirts strictly press that weight. Let me tell you VERY FEW guys who ever pick up a weight can do it.
-
Arnold and Franco, both did 500...
I love the scene in Pumping Iron when Arnold and Franco are training in the weight pit. Franco is benching 315, Arnold cracks a joke, Franco has that shit resting on his chest all while laughing and pushes it up like nothing. 8)
-
Just my two cents...I have met Arnold twice...Once at a grand opening of Planet Hollywood ( just a "Hi,nice to meet you")the second time at a gym that I was training at in Newport R.I.. He was there filming a part for True Lies. Arnold is not 6'2". He is 6'. And , he is not particularly large framed. However...
In regards to him benching 500, I would think absolutely. Not that I can do it, but it is not that impressive. There are a half a dozen guys in my gym that can do that, and I know for fact 2 of them are naturals. Arnold was the "freak" of his time, and I would think that some good strength came with that size.
-
Wait, are you calling me a moron?

In other words, he has no idea and badly wants to believe that his hero can do it.

Hy puppet how are you? Your Master says that it is better to have pubes racing to the neck than having "pubes" racing to the ass, like in your case "Gayjamin".
-

Arnold is NOT my hero...I'm just making an observation...I could care less what he used to bench...

All conjecture yet you're "absolutely" sure he could've done it. Of course you care.
-
arnold repped with 4 plates per side, dont see how he couldnt force one out with 5... ive got to say i dont see what the big debate is about, most gyms have a few 4 plate benchers,, ive seen 550 benched by a 17st bloke and he wasnt in the same league as arnie physique wise
-
why would a bodybuilder do a single anyway? It is pointless. It won't build muscle. It risks injury
-
No doubt here i worked out once in venice with arnold 30 years ago and he was bechin over 500 many times. Just to finish his workout somedays he would max out with 500 plus.
-
I don't think he did... only reason why I say it is because in "Pumping Iron 2: The Women"
The guy training Bev Francis said "She's as Strong as Arnold"
Bev Francis was a powerlifter, but I don't think she was benching 500... That's just my take on it.
-
At his best Arnold could probably put up 500. With all that ciba labs D-bol that they were using back then I bet a lot of them were pushing close to that.
-
Arnold has 7 Olympia titles that say....WHO CARES?
Exactly.
The majority (not including Chick) that are posting in this thread will never reach a quater of the pec mass and shape that Arnold had.
He benched enough to give him the kind of development he had thats all that really needs to be said.
Before he came to the USA I beleive he most proberley did bench 500 or over,he was carrying more BF and was still in that biggest is best mode of thinking not to mention he used to compete in strongman and powerlift meets in Europe,once in the US of A though Arnold concentraited more on refining the mass he had built with HEAVY weights,food and Dinabol.
So in the end who really gives a fuk? Delete this thread and ban the thread starter for such a worthless topic ::)

It's a topic... a conversation... It's a forum... This is what people do.
It's related to bodybuilding and people are commenting... I see no problem with it.

It's true, who really cares. But it's cool to discuss it. ;)

Exactly.
The majority (not including Chick) that are posting in this thread will never reach a quater of the pec mass and shape that Arnold had.
He benched enough to give him the kind of development he had thats all that really needs to be said.
Before he came to the USA I beleive he most proberley did bench 500 or over,he was carrying more BF and was still in that biggest is best mode of thinking not to mention he used to compete in strongman and powerlift meets in Europe,once in the US of A though Arnold concentraited more on refining the mass he had built with HEAVY weights,food and Dinabol.
So in the end who really gives a fuk? Delete this thread and ban the thread starter for such a worthless topic ::)
Dude, Arnold stated in his own book he benched 460 and he was into building muscles not lifting heavy in itself.

I feel sorry for you queef-licks that live in a cave. Someone post a pic of Arnold, when he was bulked up. Then tell me he couldnt have hoisted 5 wheels. Ill post it again, even though I said I wouldnt....
Arnold had arguably one of the biggest egos in BBing history, and his fvucking workout partner was a powerlifter. WTF do you think? He just sat back and conceded to Franco. Get a fvcking clue lol.
I dont want to talk about this again.

No natural can bench 500+ pounds.

arnold repped with 4 plates per side, dont see how he couldnt force one out with 5... ive got to say i dont see what the big debate is about, most gyms have a few 4 plate benchers,, ive seen 550 benched by a 17st bloke and he wasnt in the same league as arnie physique wise
Dude, that's now vs. more than 30 years ago.

No doubt here i worked out once in venice with arnold 30 years ago and he was bechin over 500 many times. Just to finish his workout somedays he would max out with 500 plus.
Sure buddy. ;)

Good, because you have nothing other than hope that your hero can satisfy your fantasy.
This is hilarious all the kids on here who are "sure" he could do it when the reality is that it was probably somewhere around 450 give or take a few lb.

am arguing with some idiot on fuckin Youtube of all places about it! He swears he could because, are you ready for this, "it said he could in Muscle and Fitness" ha ha ha
425-440 was probably his heaviest ever 1RM attempts from what i can gather
i've saw a guy in my gym bench 405 for 2 a while back and he wasnt even that big, so do i think the Mr O with one of the best chests in the history of the sport cud bench 500?? well i am suprised it wasnt more!

Another beginner on a BB site who doesn't comprehend the difference between training for development vs. strength. You're mired in desperate hopes and projections involving your hero. Dream on. :D

Your assumptions are weak. You have no basis for your desperate hope re: Arnold. ;D
Hope this helps

lol
well i have this to go on
Arnold had an amazing chest
There are BBs with smaller chests with a much bigger bench
He must have been able to lift big weights to look like that
i agree BBs arnt often as strong as they look, but i dont think 500 is that impressive for a guy who had his level of development
hope this helps ;D

Stop flirting with pumpster!

Im 32, and have trained half of my life. Im sure youre the "kid" compared to me. And AS isnt my hero in any sense of the word. If anything I insulted him with the super ego comment.
But you laugh at us that are SURE he could do it, and youre equally as SURE that he couldnt. Jackass. lol

Yes. I always enjoy his posts that are such a mess you wouldn't know wether he is typing with his fingers or toes.

Re Read my post ,I agree with you ,but in his early years he did compete in power lifting and strong man comps,Iv just pulled out one of my early Arnold mags that was produced by M & F it complies alot of Arnolds writings,On his chest development it states At my best ,Ive done 500pound bench press
If you look at pics of a young arnold you will see he has spent alot of time on the big lifts,it was only after comming to the states that he concentrated on refinement
