Here we go again.

Probably a solid bounce-press with somewhere between 325 and 385. Still a good press for a guy who wasn't ever more than, say, 225.

He had muscle, but he was never huge. Muscle is not size or mass.

As well, developed pecs aren't a good indicator of superior pressing strength. If it were, Arnold would have been a huge bencher. He wasn't, relatively speaking. At his very strongest, early-to-mid fours.

Top shelf strength is much more about nervous system conditioning and training specificity.

Tyson is big, but Phil heath is so much bigger.   

You'll notice Mike Tyson has never had the courage to get in the ring with Big Phil.

Mirrors what Bob Kennedy told me. And like Ric, Bob was present for many prime-era Arnold workouts.

Years ago, a guy who was connected with various boxing camps as a S/C coach mentioned that he'd seen Tyson get a hard mid #300's bench around the time of the first Holyfield fight, which is believable. As an aside, Lennox Lewis's claimed best was #380 at around #240 which is believable too.

I wonder about Serge Nubret and Sergio's? Especially with this Serge Nubret pic.

He's taking an ultra-wide grip (severely limiting distance pressed). and I'd bet several hundred dollars he was doing partial reps, at that.

Of course, it's also entirely possible he unracked the barbell for the shot, only.

This kind of deception in bodybuilding photography is as old as the sport itself.

He was an advocate of partials. But partials with weight and a wide grip like that? Here is pic of Franco with more weight

I think that was before his loss to Danny Williams ,towards the end of his career.Note the facial tatttoo.

Tyson did not have huge dimensions,compared to many bodybuilders. Very compact,in fact.

I'd say that's far less shocking than a lowercase njflex post :o

Who cares how much he benched? He was the best in the world at boxing.

I think he incorporated barbell squats,incline presses and curls into his routine, after serving time for rape. Maybe,he started lifting,while in prison?




The young pristine version of Mike just used body weight exercises.....
(pectorals look less developed than later in his career)
