He gets kinda stuck mid-rep, but doesn't appear to be getting much help if any in raising the bar.
I'm not sure if the spotter really touches the bar.

Spotter helped quite a bit IMO.

The spotter doesn't have a firm grip on the bar though,
to me it appears as is he's just guiding it up.

agree.

If you are benching raw with heavy weight like that and the bar starts sinking down on the way up, it's very very difficult - not impossible but very hard - to turn it around and get it going in the right direction without some assistance.
Also, they didn't jump up and do the customary fist pumps and head butts at the end, which leads me to believe they all knew he didn't get it by himself.

True. Zack need to learn a lesson from Kevin Levrone and Craig Titus. 500lb + bench presses are risky to a bodybuilders career.

what the hell does that mean??
if the 'spotter' wasnt there = him not 'getting 6 plates up'
fck whether he had a 'good grip' or not...same thing as wearing those 'shirts'
powerlifting is bullshit, just waiting for a tendon or muscle to tear and having an excuse to be a fatass

look closely, the bar DOES reverse directions before the spotter gets to it. no doubt he got some boost from the spotter, but i'm really not thinking it was more than a fingertip pull. nothing crazy, the guy didn't have to upright row it off him. take 10 or 15 pounds off that bar and he'd have gotten it, but obviously the six plate push just feels more substantial than five plates and a 35.

even taking 6 plates OFF THE RACK and holding it is extremely impressive, just find it funny how a guy who's arms probably shake benching 275 isn't impressed with a guy behcing almost 600 pounds raw, hahaha, some little queens and princesses are never impressed. :D

maybe if he was a fatass he wouldnt have to have someone 'not grip the bar that tight but just guide it' :o :o

i did 405 for a negative last november and it felt like my shoulders were going to blow off. i can't even FATHOM 585. i'd bet any money not one person in this thread could even get that on a two inch lockout.

Strong as a Gorilla

Very impressive weight and did handle it well. Thought the actually finger assist did help a bit, the important psychological factor of just having a helping hand ( or fingers) near, not even touching the bar it's self, can give a mental boost to any lift. Always thought lifting may be just as much a mental effort as a physical one.
Khan's first language was more than likely not English. Lots of first generation accents in SoCal.
Side bar to Magoo, take it or leave it...don't care: if you include more short range (2 to 4 inches) heavy partial lockouts in a workout you may find the total ROM bench getting stronger. Have to get use to handling a much heavier weight overall.

For a bodybuilder, there is absolutely no reason to bench 600s lbs. A powerlifter, yes...but not a guy trying to make money from bodybuilding.

Debussey wonders how much cash "Zack Khan" will make from BB anyway. He = big, but he talks like a doofus, looks weird and will probably never win a big big contest.
His best bet = to score a supp contract with a mediocre brand, which ain't much.
He might be better off Bbing for ego satisfaction :D

You are an idiot, Chick. The two bodybuilders with the greatest pecs ever, Coleman and Arnold, organized their entire pec workouts around benches, and regularly did doubles and singles, all to failure. Ronnie didn't even do flys, smith machine or isolation machine work in the off-season. He did three exeecises: flat bench press, incline bench press, with a free bar, and flat dumbbell presses.

Wrong. I did bench 600+ lbs raw for a single - with the aid of a benching shirt - years ago, when I was on the sauce and weighted 330 lbs - at a height of 6'4.

My uncle destroyed 600lb back in '99
He lowered the bar super slow and rested it on his chest for 5 seconds.
We all thought he'd bottomed out, but all of a sudden his arms just flew up like a hydrolic lift.
It was as if 135lb was on the bar.
3 clean and controlled reps followed.
Not a spotter in sight either.

I'll always love bodybuilding and consider myself a bodybuilder, but the people and events surrounding this sport are less than palatable. There's a reason why it's considered a fringe sport.

which one's your uncle? in the 1999 area i see beau moore and bob hickey. since you're claiming four reps it's probably bob hickey since he got 650 in a meet.
that's cool that you're related to a legend, dude.

No,
he's not a powerlifter.
He was a marine, Congressional Medal of Honor, the whole nine yards.
Benching 405 for reps as a 16 year old
comfortably handled 600lb on numerous occasions just wearing a t-shirt and some old flip-flops
He'd even make jokes while under the bar

So what? Nothing wrong with pushing heavy weights if you can and like to.
Life would be too boring if you only did what you need to do and not what you want to do (as long as it's not affecting someone else adversely).

Older i get more i realise most bbuilders who are huge and compete use shit weight
less than 300lbs and do lots of reps and sets in 8-12 in short space of time.
big muscles in most cases is not built with big weights

That is true, plus, most guys don't even have enough training capacity to go heavy. Most people around here base their training 100% on drugs. When the juice is over they don't even train, plain and simple. But they forget that the best bbers always trained with more intensity and heavier than all the other bbers...

Exactly. I think that's one of the main reasons why bodybuilders looked a whole lot better in the 90s - back then, we all heard plenty of stories and saw clips of insane lifts by guys like Ronnie, Dorian, Kevin, Marcus, Cormier etc. I haven't seen anyone from the current crop who has a rep for lifting heavy like that. Seems like they rely on drugs and Slin a lot more now, to look muscular, rather than get that look from heavy lifting.
Guys who lift heavy ALWAYS have a look of thickness, density and maturity that the guys who lift light and get pumped up on juice will never have. That's why guys like Milos looked paper thin next to guys like Ronnie and Dorian.

Excellent post. Dorian and Ronnie are two of the three bodybuilders from the past 25 years who didn't rely exclusively on drugs to build their physiques. The other was Mike Francois, but unfortunately colitis got to him.

thing is, dude, that's james henderson, arguably the greatest raw bencher in history. he's not just some guy at someone's gym that no one's ever heard of. i mean, if you happened to see brian siders or jeremy hoornstra benching then yeah people would believe you, but to claim that a random dude tucked away in a gym in buttfuck nowhere is smashing 585 raw is like saying a guy down the street from you runs a 40 yard dash in 4.3.
-
wsup Magoo...
so let me ask you something what if before gym Henderson was "known" he was benching 5 or 6 wheels in a gym somewhere everyone has to be unknown before they are known. Or is that its only when they are well known that these kind of feats are feasible...?
think outside of the box....
i am by no means exceptional at bench .... you have people who are... and if i can move 4 wheels...
what would an exceptional bencher be moving??? ... cut back on the cynicism..
i have seen with nmy 2 eyes 6 wheels been benched... have no need to lie

a 19yr old in my gym was benching 400lbs at 210lbs easily and drug free
He was just great at it. I beat him on everything else apart from them. Some people are just gifted

only you know if that's true or not and frankly i'm not here to debate it. i'm just explaining why people would be skeptical. once you get into a certain realm the odds of one being capable of things without competing whatsoever is increasingly slim.
someone ripping 4 plates in the gym? totally feasible. i'm almost there and i'm a noodle.
a dude hitting five plates that doesn't do PL meets? not impossible, i know two (although they're pretty gassed up and one MIGHT have done comps).
six plates? now you're starting to talk about the 1% of the 1% and someone that DOESN'T compete obviously isn't trying to peak, which means you're sitting on a guy who could ostensibly become one of only fifty men in history to do a certain athletic feat.
see what i mean? the odds start to get more and more remote for there to be a guy hidden in a gym nowhere that plays no sports, does no competitions, and yet is so strong he'd be able to rack up 1st place trophies by the armload if he ever sauntered his way onto the platform.

Zack khan is 300 odd lbs there and 6'2 and on every drug under the sun.
Plus he never got it.
Of course its possible that some guys in teh gym will bench 585lbs
Also you lot are fucking retards. Boots is taking the piss out of you. Normally id let you guys be and laugh at you but you guys are getting wound up. Is it the same uncles that was 'getting teh better of tyson in a street brawl''

I second that excellent post comment.
It used to be that pro's were as strong as well as big. Part of me thinks that's how it should be. It's good to see a guy like Khan attempting a weight like that.
Personally, if i had to choose to be big, strong, or big and strong i'd choose big and strong anytime.

never compared myself with anyone....

magoo... who came up with the figure that its only in the 1 percentile..
not everything falls under a formula .. or statistic...
for instance my mentor at the 2nd gym i trained at benched 5 wheels.. i personally unracked this for me.... deadlifted 7 plates
and what about layne norton..?
or the vid someone posting of someone who posts here deadlifting 700lbs?
it really bemuses me how people can sit behind a keyboard and rattle off figures that governs the 6.7 billion billion people that live on planet earth....

50 men have benched 600 or better in a competition. statistically that's .00000000083% of the population. so do some adjusting for 585 instead of 600 and a gym bench rather than a meet lift and i'm still being generous.
and what about layne norton..?
well-established bodybuilding competitor, sponsored athlete, has done powerlifting meets.
or the vid someone posting of someone who posts here deadlifting 700lbs?
jason pegg, veteran powerlifting competitor, also a sponsored athlete (i think). again, proving my point that you just can't find people doing those kind of absurd feats unless they're competitors.

before layne was known... he wasn't squatting over 500 pounds or deadlifting over 600. he was a kid on bb.com who did a few local shows, had some potential.
what i'm saying is that (aside from your claim that you'll bench 5 plates natty is even funnier than your claim to be benching 4 plates natty) is that the odds of some dude hiding in your gym with a six wheel bench that has THAT much athletic ability but isn't using it for anything whatsoever are crazy low. again, like saying your friend can run a 40 yard dash in 4.3, maybe it's possible but why the hell would someone THAT good not be doing anything athletic with his life?
the reason it's rare is because usually anyone that strong, that fast, that whatever is actually capitalizing on his ability. it'd be like finding a guy claiming to have a 195 IQ who can solve 5x5x5 rubiks cubes but he works at IHOP as a janitor. sure, people do that, but do you really think someone that naturally talented is mopping puke and syrup up for a living? the guy benching six plates at your gym isn't playing any sports, he doesn't compete, nothing?
meso, you're an okay guy, strong as hell, and you look good, but you do drop a lot of BS out of your mouth man.

I used to life in Tallahassee, FL and i knew a guy who repped 585 on close grips about 5 weeks out from Southern State bodybuilding comp, and regularly went over 600 for reps.
His name is Jeremy Hoornstra. And he will go down as the best in history!

the reason it's rare is because usually anyone that strong, that fast, that whatever is actually capitalizing on his ability. it'd be like finding a guy claiming to have a 195 IQ who can solve 5x5x5 rubiks cubes but he works at IHOP as a janitor. sure, people do that, but do you really think someone that naturally talented is mopping puke and syrup up for a living? the guy benching six plates at your gym isn't playing any sports, he doesn't compete, nothing?
meso, you're an okay guy, strong as hell, and you look good, but you do drop a lot of BS out of your mouth man.
i aleady posted a vid of me benching 4 wheels.. but im not talking about that... .. thats irelevant
i just dont see how someone can sit behind a computer and say thats impossible for you etc... obviosuly there are limits as we are human ... but to say no one is who isunknown can move 5 wheels is silly... or six... like i said i have seen 1 guy in all my training bench 6 wheels he was thick as hell short very stocky kind of fat but thick and muscular... old in his 40's married with kids first time i saw him was at my barber shop he stood out like a sore thumb
why would i need to lie about anything .... what bullshit have i dropped out my mouth everything i have said i can do i have done... and put vids up of it... so because i have stated what i have seen with my eyes... im talkin bullshit .mmmm ok
thats a bit disrespectful...i have NEVER called bullshit on ANYONE because who am i to tell a guy what his pontential is... or tell a guy what he has seen or hasnt seen all im sayin is the world is a big place and different gifts... do not underestimate that concept anyway I'll leave it at that man and i have NEVER LIED ON THESE FORUMS
anyway you are entitled to your opinion...

wsup Magoo...
so let me ask you something what if before gym Henderson was "known" he was benching 5 or 6 wheels in a gym somewhere everyone has to be unknown before they are known. Or is that its only when they are well known that these kind of feats are feasible...?
think outside of the box....
i am by no means exceptional at bench .... you have people who are... and if i can move 4 wheels...
what would an exceptional bencher be moving??? ... cut back on the cynicism..
i have seen with nmy 2 eyes 6 wheels been benched... have no need to lie
at your size only on hormones,, 4 5 6 with your size which is nothign to write home about ..only on hormones
meaning no moving of the wiehgt wil happen unless hormones used at your size

You can list a few reasons why he SHOULD do something like this- personal gratification, little bit of e-press (most likely) but honestly there is a much longer list of reasons why he should NOT do it. He's begging for a torn pec or tricep, and more often than not these are CAREER enders, not minor annoyances. Well, he doesn't really have a career yet so you could argue he has nothing to lose but either way on contest day noone gives a shit how much you lift but they DO care about your torn pec.

Can't Zach G deadlift well over 500?

liquid_c on here reps with 6 plates... and doesn't brag about it.

can you spell correctly?....jeez
sorry hugepecs, i didn't know we have an english major in our mist. ironically i to was an english major at one time but as my body grew my mind atrophied to the pathetic mush it has become. excuse me i'll try harder in the future to spell correctly.

boolshit.
What's your problem fatboy? A bit jealous of Meso? He posts proof of his lifts. All you do is calling bullshit. Time and time again your getting destroyed.
-
what the hell does that mean??
if the 'spotter' wasnt there = him not 'getting 6 plates up'
fck whether he had a 'good grip' or not...same thing as wearing those 'shirts'
powerlifting is bullshit, just waiting for a tendon or muscle to tear and having an excuse to be a fatass
Right moron... Gee, no famous bodybuilders have torn muscles... The internet, voice of the stupid.
Lifting heavy for singles does not necessarily increase the incidence of torn mucles. In fact, I am willing to bet you see a LOT more full tears in bodybuilders than powerlifters.

Oh, and that is a great lift, spotter or no. I would guess he can touch and go 550 lbs or so, and that is VERY good.
In terms of what people can do, some huge guy was at the MHP booth at this year's Arnold. He was doing the bench your weight for reps deal. He was lean and weighed in the 270 range. He benched 275 lbs for 50 controlled reps and stopped not because he had to, but because he chose to. Jeremy Hoornstra (one of the strongest raw benchers in the world) was spotting and I could tell he was very impressed as he looked over to Joe Mazza (to my recollection) and just kind of smiled and shook his head.
Long story short, there are some very strong mofos out there.

Lol, you always try. Good job. Tell you what, I will be the resident pusher of garbage supps and YOU will be the resident little pussy who hides behind its keyboard.
Like I said, the internet is the voice of the stupid. I am glad you were born of a generation with the technology to allow you to spew your stupidity for all to see. Now, not just those close to you will know what an ass you are, EVERYONE has the chance. Bravo!

two things:
1) the supps are legit. seriously, i wish i was a better lifter because then i could gun for an AtLarge sponsorship.
2) chris is a tank. bigger, leaner, and stronger than roughly 99% of people on here. i'd argue that outside of pegg/wolfe and the other lifting competitors he's the strongest on the board period.

did Jeremy bench? I know he was injured a while ago, i think he tore his bicep(?).. was he fully recovered? I can see him breaking 700 in competition soon if he was. I swear, it was such a privilege to train with him and watch him train back when, I don't know if I'll ever lift with anybody or even see anybody that strong again.

Lol, how old are you? You do realize that might be a "cool" slam in like 4th grade, but not as an adult?

Yeah, but with a very close grip and he went up to a bit over 600 lbs. He was just exhibition lifting.

Where is the lab assay I asked to see for the Novus bar, Chris? You do realize any legitimate company such as Optimum Nutrition, who I worked for, would gladly provide a lab assay if asked., they have nothing to hide. Your products DO NOT contain what your label indicates. Your company is and will always be at the bottom of the supplement world if it manages to not go out of business. You are a bloated clown and your attitude sucks, those who are successful in business do not portray such an attitude as you. I am old enough to know a shady supplement company when I see one. I have worked for companies such a www.lef.org and www.optimumnutrition.com ,check out their web pages you might learn something although I doubt it. Carry on FOOL!!

Zack Khan is a strong dude.
Tons of lowlife haters here lol ;D
-
zacks got big numbers on all his lifts,,,,,,,,,,, cant beleive some one seriously asked if he could deadlift 500lb????......
And to the u dont need to lift big to get big,,,, name one pro that couldnt piss 4 plates on the bench??
-
Spotter helped quite a bit IMO.
Lol, the guy didn't even lurch forward that much. If he was helping "quite a bit" he would have been working hader than that.
-
Can't Zach G deadlift well over 500?
thats supposed to be impressive? i deadlift 405x2 as natural with 1.5 years training, 500 is not out of sight.
-
Strong dude without a doubt. However to be considered "IMO" a complete "gym" bench press:
1. No pause is required for a gym bench press, however your butt cannot come off the bench.
2. The spotter should not have his hands touching the bar in any way no matter how little.
Spotter touches the bar at all before lockout "not counting if you use a spotter to help you unrack the bar" = no bench press.

It is not a contest press, but that doesn't take away from the lift. Some of the strongest contest benchers in the world have viewed the video and think the man is very strong.
-
he is strong no doubt... but once the bar is touched or held on the ascent... in my eyes you cant do it..
drop the weight and put the weight up yourself

Meso, think about what you are saying. The guy tried a weight and barely missed it. That is called a PR attempt. No one makes them all. I guarantee you he would have gotten 550-560 lbs which is still VERY impressive.
-
yes i agree very impressive.... i think he could get 5 plates and 3 quarters.. fairly easy judging... BUT he didnt get 6 wheels...thats all im saying but he is huge 300lbs + 23 inch guns... that should be within his capacity...
maybe its the title of the thread Zach khan benching 6 plates...

Thanks for your insight on this momentus feat of strength, the world is now enlightened. I wonder how you manage to find your way out of bed in the morning, did you even manage to get a H.S. Diploma, what am I thinking of course you didn't.

He gets kinda stuck mid-rep, but doesn't appear to be getting much help if any in raising the bar.
I'm not sure if the spotter really touches the bar.
so many things wrong in that clip, but the most important one IMO is that HES A BODYBUILDER, NOT A POWERLIFTER...WTF is he accomplishing benching 6 plates for .75 rep (.25 was the spotter) . No wonder why there are so many stupid injuries, guys like him benching wayyy more than they have to . just because you cant bench 6 plates even for one full rep doesnt mean its worth doing if your a bodybuilder...
