On Saturday, Poursoltani, a senior at Pilot Point (Tx.) High, bench-pressed 700 pounds. The weight was a new Texas state record, not to mention a personal record, topping 670 pounds, as he lifted 700 pounds. Yes, 700 pounds. To put that in perspective, the top NFL bench press mark is reportedly 705 pounds, as lifted by former Dallas Cowboys offensive guard Larry Allen.

Before anyone even consider whether Poursoltani has benefitted from performance enhancing substances, the powerlifting lineman wants to make sure that everyone knows he is committed to competing clean.
“If you need something to help you work out, you need to get out of the sport,” Poursoltani told the Morning News. “If you can’t drive yourself that hard to come in here and work out, then it’s probably just not for you.”

Impressive natural competitor
-
Handsome bench shirt, needs a few more layers though, it hasn't given him the cute 1930's zombie arms out in front walk yet.
-
natural ::)
I bet he beleives he is natural because the coach that injects him daily claims those needles are filled with B-12.
-
Redneck of peace! :D All tacos and whataburgers.
-
Not impressed, since he uses a bench shirt

Yup, and the way that article is written. The general public doesn't have the slightest clue what a bench shirt is or how much it is cheating helping save his shoulders :).
-
fucking stupid. he can't even move his arms to celebrate.
-
Looks like a combo of a bear and a caveman. 17 yo? Geez - thats retard strength right there.
-
Obviously a strong (to say the least) kid, but his shirt likely gives him a few hundred. And the natural claim? Possible, I suppose, but highly unlikely.

Thats 525 without the shirt!

This kid is strong, no doubt about it. However, this modern day powerlifting shit is getting out of control. Suit, ultra wide grip, back arch, 6" ROM. ::) I'm not taking anything away from him, he's stronger than 99% of the public. Now, take away the suit, give him a normal grip, normal arch in the back, elbows out instead of in, lower the bar straight down instead of dipping it to the belly. Do all this, and this kid would struggle with 495.
The coaches, and everyone boosting his ego are doing him a disservice. He thinks he's the stronger than the strongest NFL players, and the reality is, they're only teaching him how to cheat.
This is much more impressive:

Says the guy wearing a bench shirt.
He should just get a forklift as a spotter then bench 2000 ::)
-
Looks like he brought the bar waaaay low.
-
Do you honestly think that kid has enough experience to get 200lbs plus out of a shirt. He's strong, and has the balls to get under 700lbs. Some guys can do it..props to that kid.

Reminds me of "Chip Block, All American"
-
not hating on kid, lift is very impressive, but you got to be real native to think he is natural.
-
That's still about a 500lb raw bench for a teenager!!! Kid looks natural (but could be using) so regardless of shirt he's monstrously strong not only for his age, but for a human.
-
There's lots of strong mofos like this. Growing up a friend of mine in highschool. Complete country boy. Tall big dude. His wrists were fucking thick. Big strong joints. Can lift anything and never worked out. Throw him in a gym and he'd be doing the same thing.

Unfortunately, there is no real way to even get a rough idea about how much "or little" someone can bench raw based on their shirted lift. Especially if it is a multi-ply shirt. Some people get insane poundage's out of their shirt while others much less.
-
Still though gravity defines this as 700 pounds. Most people's wrists would snap under that weight.

Is Siegler 17 years old there?

Well, true, if you want to put it that way. However look at it like this. Most shirted lifters when they bring the bar down it slows down to a trickle as they get about 2-3 inches away from their chest and they often have to actually pull down on the bar to get it to touch. Hell I've seen it before on a few occasions where they can't get it touch no matter what they do and they bomb out. That means at that very point the shirt is literally supporting the full weight of the bar. Sure they still need to balance it but think about how much pressure the shirt is putting on the bar; especially at the lowest part of the lift.

strong obese farmboy build, all BBQ and anadrol milkshakes
but yeah, you can get 200+ out of even a single ply modern shirt and it doesnt require that much to learn it.
-
All of you talking shit on this kid....feel free, right now to use whatever gear or equipment you want. Go do a 700lbs bench (today) and post the video. And oh, BTW, if your 17, 18, 20, it would be more impressive. I will be waiting. idiots

Using a shirt requires practice. I knew a kid who had over 100lbs against a kid in raw benching at their previous meet, they did a shirted meet and the kid came back and beat him by 75lbs. Its a fucking scam. All suited lifting is. It is for jokers. It's like bodybuilding with implants.

doesnt require than much practice tbh, I got 600 off a 2 board the first time I used my single ply and I got 675 a couple of weeks later. I wasn't even close to being as heavy and androgen bloated as this kid either.
OTH's seen a vid of me doing a shitty gym lift with 715 in my single ply
shirts and suits are retarded. but raw PLing is super dangerous so it's not like one is better than the other

I disagree on that part. I think equipped powerlifting is much more dangerous. Also I don't really see too many people here talking shit about the kid, it's just that there is a TREMENDOUS difference since he is using a multi-ply shirt. A fact that the article doesn't even acknowledge.

exactly. whats the difference.
and Larry Allens bench was very questionable

Fixed it.
Kid is an absolute beast, suit or no suit.

That's putting it mildly. The video I saw was so horrible you could hardly make it out and it looked like he definitely had spotter help.
-
That was my problem with it, the boy's holier than thou attitude, and the lack of clarification in that the article. Strong kid, but not the almost World beater they'd have you believe.
On the Larry Allen lift, it use to be hard to find a clear copy, but a few have been put up in the last few months -
.
-
Dang, some of y'all can't stand people being stronger or bigger than you. That kid is stronger than me on bench and I'm just fine with that LOL. Quite trying to "reason away" his bench.

Why if the reasons work? You lose a sense of the sport and its history when you allow dodgy articles like that one a pass.
-
Impressive lift regardless!

Yes, many a hater on this board. However with that being said, there are some that actually compete and do rather well in powerlifting here too. Good raw lifters get particularly irked when people use a multi-ply bench shirt and they see an article written that doesn't even mention that fact and then tries to compare the kid to someone else who didn't even come close to a 700 bench either "major spotter help." :).

bullshit. And he could have done more if the coaches would have let him.

his guy had hands on the bar, so sure it was a little questionable. he is inhuman strong though..

Are you mad at your son Coach? Did you not love him enough?
-
Damn 17 yr old kid with that much strength is rediculous...plain and simple.....
-

All I want out of a trailer park is a fat ass hoe.
-
Bottom line, hands on the bar=no lift. Period. Even with 635 he was getting some help. Anyone who knows powerlifting knows hands on the bar I don't care who you are is no good.

I hate those fuckers. When I started working out it was just me and a buddy of mine. We were around 15-16. A new guy joined us two years later, not particularly big, but fucking solid. Never set foot in a gym before. At the time we were repping around 220 on the bench. This guy, shit form and all, threw 220 up like it was nothing. A few chest workouts later, he was approaching 300. He quit a few months later but I wouldn't put it past that fucker to be repping 440 or even top at 500 within a year if he comes back to the gym. Even after a 12 year lay off. Some guys are just built for insane strength.

Exactly. Those presses were BEYOND not legit. If you know pressing, just watching the video you know this. He would have gotten smashed under much less than 635 if he was lifting without assistance.
-
the kid must be taking some of Jay's new shit...lucky him!
-
GH15 says you don't need more than 225 lbs for big tits.
i won't bother to try beat record....not that i would be able too
i just want big tits
225lbs - gh15 - big tits
-
Change the title of this thread to FATASS in multiply suit barely gets a 700lb bench.

Ha I think Fortress knows a thing or two about weight/powerlifting
-
No. You?
i am not jealous of you......all you do is trash the people you used to interview.....you bag on lee labrada......you are a joke.....lee is one of the best bbers in the history of the sport.....you are a so called powerlifter......mr 290 pounds!!!
you were just bagging on the kid who benched 700.......your posts tell me that you are a negative dude......my 2 cents.
