he is atleast 400 pounds there
he is just asking for a pec tear
who cares how much you bench
there is nothing impressive about being strong and big WHILE being morbidly obese
Sumo wrestlers have more muscle than bodybuilders and they don't even lift weights

james henderson is the strongest raw bencher in history. he got 705 with a FULL pause unlike mendy's BS 715.

it wasn't caught on film, but he has done it before

i'm counting two reps on his own, one with help on the end, one with his spotter lifting the whole time. even saying he got 495x3 is being generous.

as for "it wasn't caught on film", you have to be retarded. you know i heard ronnie coleman deadlifted 1000 pounds before, but no one had a camera that day. ::)

Tecnically I'm stroger than him on a pound for pound formula as are many good lighter raw benchers.  That however takes NOTHIGN away from the guy.  A 700lb raw bench with a full pause is ungodly strength no matter what you weigh.

u seem to not understand the idea that, as a rule, strength to bodyweight ratios ALWAYS go down. Look at powerlifting, and olympic lifting- this is always the case.

It is ridiculous to compare ratio strength of a 130 lb man to that of a 200 lb man or higher... it is MUCH easier for the ligher man to have a higher ratio.

Once you go over 220lbs lb 4 lb formulas go out the window. Hence teh use of Wilks.

I can bench 1.7x b/w Glenn Ross cant...I can deadlift over 2xbw...Glenn Ross cant.

Let me tell you this...Glenn ross could use me as a toothpick and for anyone to compare themselves to that guy is bizarre and delusional.

This was taken 22/12/2006 and he was way down in b/w as he had knee surgery...saying that he carried a 700lb yoke total distance of 1km for charity.

I am only around 210 there. He is so much bigger in real life you wont believe it. Look at his hands compared to mine. He cmpeted in March and was enormous

Henderson was one of the best benchers ever to be sure.

AXA, have you looked at yourself lately?  Do you realize what you look like smooth and covered in oil?

Look, I am not picking on you, but for you to try to disparage that man for an INCREDIBLE feat of strength is just ridiculous.  We all have our flaws.  Respect the man for his accomplishment.  If you don't want to look like him that is fine, but why knock him?

everyone hides behind "relative to size" because that masks the fact that no matter how hard they try, they can't get as big or as strong as the big dudes.

if you're 150 pounds and can bench 300 and deadlift 450, you're as strong "proportionally" as a 250 pound guy taht benches 5 plates and pulls 750, but you look like a fucking moron if you make that claim.

James Henderson is a true freak.
Without a doubt the greatest RAW benchpresser ever.
IMO, he's one of the greatest strength athletes period.
His weight isn't 400 btw, it's more like 460-500 from what I understand (at least it was a year ago).

This is a funny place because people here always criticize lifts. Not deep enough, bounced off chest, no ass to floor, I lifted more in 1974, have a nephew with Down's Syndrome that can lift more with no equipment, 5 guys in my gym are just as strong, didn't pause long enough, too fat, I'm proportionally stronger, etc...

That's a good lift from a strong mofo. Nothing more, nothing less.

olympic lifting isn't judged on BS simple bodyweight/lift ratios. to do so is retarded. ed coan was a 220 but he was also 5'5". konsantinovs is 6'2" and a 275 and coan looks a hell of a lot thicker. or let's not forget andrzej stanaszek who has a 6x bodyweight squat, but he's a dwarf so his ROM is crazy tiny.

if you're small but lift a lot "for your size", all that means is you're small and weak, you just happen to be smaller than you are weak. i'm mildly impressed by the 150 pound guy benching 295, but i'm a hell of a lot more impressed with the 270 pound guy benching 495 even if it's a lower ratio.
