Sooooooo close. I loved when the bar came smashing down on his chest and he pushed with all his force. Sooooo close.

Wow that was close. I really got my hopes up after seeing his spotter deadlift 405 for him.

That samoan needs to pack on a few pounds and bulk up more for a 725 lift.    ;D

The man would probably benefit from a terrific chest workout that Lee Priest got from someone on this website.

It easily could have been 725, you can't tell how much it weights from the video :P I don't think it really mattered for the guy, it's not like it made him any closer to that result :D

Go to 24 hour fitness. He'll be doing 1/4 reps on the leg press.

He was the first to bench 700 in a powerlifting competition and bench pressed 705.5 pounds on March 3, 1985.  That and his 718lb record are considered assisted because he work a prototype of a single ply bench shirt which isn't much better than a tight tee.

Haha what did i just watch? ;D ;D ;D

Brutal equipment, massive build, more technical than a ninja and epic spotted 4 plate reps ;D ;D ;D ;D

Love him for going a quick second time. Delussionitis displayed at it's purest form.

he didn't even lift it an inch off his chest the first time, then he goes in a second time and it caves in his chest a few inches down

Ted went to the same school I did...he must have hated it because we could never get him to come back and he was like hour and ahalf away.

Shame he didn't tear a pec on the second attempt, or at least fracture a vertebra

here's hoping he tries it again

Yeah he went to Norwich....and I was on the powerlifting club there. I asked a couple of times if we could get him up there but somebody said he didn't do much with the school. I think at that time he had equipment or supps..or both under his name. The guy was a legend.

Anyone who benches 700 raw is guaranteed to look like absolute shit.  Not that looking a certain way is what they care about.

Yes Peps gym, Ted talks about it once in a while. We go out to eat monthly at our favorite seafood place Peteys - Rye, NH). Ted's like family.
(We go to his yearly Xmas party with his whole extended family as well, talk about an Italian feast.. Ma' Don..).

Great guy and still looks excellent at 54. A pic from a month or two ago. Cropped myself out of course, Im short, fat, ugly  :D

With all sincerity, I probably laughed harder watching this video than I have watching/reading anything else, ever, on Getbig.

The delusional/retarded guy couldn't even hit one rep with 405 and he thinks he's got a shot at 725.

As another says, without the safety rails, "Beast" would likely have suffered life-threatening injuries. No joke.

"You got this, Beast!"

"Get it up, Beast!"

"He's got one more!"

 :D

This is Bench press : Doug Young



   

When I was a kid in Lubbock, Doug young was my hero. I used to see him working at the local sporting goods store. He was the strongest guy on the Tech football team with a bench of 360, as a 215 pound guard. Probably drug free at the time.

At first I though they guy may be mentally ill.  However after a second look and watching him talk I think he is simply extremely delusional.   People always talk about bigorexia or whatever.  However I have seen lately a lot of the opposite.  I don't know a good name for it but it is people who look like a small gymrat and really believe they are huge and shredded and or much stronger than they actually are.

I notice this as well.

Like if gymrat can bench 225x8 then forecasts a 1RM of 405 :D

Strong, silent type, at least around me.
He had an intense look on his face. Huge neck.
I was a shotputter and at one of our meets a guy told me that Doug Young in high school had thrown the shot 60 feet at a body weight of 185...Phenomenal...
