Whoa. :o

Is this a record of some sort? I can't keep up with such things.

Very impressive.

It's a raw(shirtless) record of some sort.
It was that Russian for years with 330~ I think and then Julius Maddox briefly with 350 and now this guy.
Tiny Meeker broke the shirted record too a few days ago 510kg

That's a good question, Hulkotron.
Truth be told, there are SO MANY records, that they don't automatically mean a lot. But this one does.
That IS the heaviest bench press ever, but he did it in the gym, and not in a sanctioned powerlifting meet, or a sanctioned bench press meet. But that IS the heaviest raw bench press ever successfully completed.
I am aiming for a specific record, but it would be the Canadian u-80kg record. The thing is, there are so many obscure records, that people can have the 40-45 Master's American record in a specific weight class in a specific organization.
Also, you have John Haack, who has the 200-lb / 90-kg record in powerlifting, with a total of something like 2,000-lb [maybe more], and in the same organization, you have heavier guys who lifted more, yet have the record in that organization, in that heavier weight class.
As Mark Bell said in his interview with John, those are fake records.
How can a guy who is heavier than John but who totalled less have the weight class record [say in the 100-kg weight class], when John is under that weight, and totalled more?
This is why powerlifting records are so confusing.
And for Strongman, it's an even more niche sport, and you have records that could be broken, but just haven't been attempted at people who may have been able to beat them. I think a 260-lb log press would be a u-80kg Canadian record. That's still not impressive by Getbig standards, but it would be nice to do it anyway.
And some of the records, as impressive as they are, have simply never been tried since:
-

Wow. I had no idea Tiny Meeker was still active. He's been at the top of the bench press game for years now.
It's daunting to think about people attempting weight that heavy or heavier for the squat, in case something goes wrong...but bench press is even more risky. I'm impressed that these men even attempt that weight - let alone successfully.
The bench shirt adds a lot though, and in unpredictable ways. You have guys bench pressing over 1,000 with a shirt who maybe just barely hit 700 raw. It's possible some guys who have bench pressed 1K in a shirt haven't even hit 700 raw, but I'm not sure.
As Zach_G85 [classic Getbigger] once said - there is bench pressing and shirt benching, and they are not the same thing.
They are all impressive - but an 800-lb raw bench press would be most impressive [IMO].
Aren't there only something like 17 men who ever bench pressed 700 or more raw?
And only one man who bench pressed over 750 [Julius Maddox], and no one thus far to have hit 800 in contest - or at all. So this is big news for the strength world.
Truth be told, I had never heard of Danial Zamani before today.
-
Seen this guy several times, impressive lifts for sure.
-
thats an insane lift
people normally get a bit less in meets, but he made it look fairly easy

They are not benching anywhere close to 700 raw. Most of them. They are getting 400+ from the shirt.

The Power of Allah.

Hang on...so the 1,000-lb lifters don't even generally hit 600-lb without the shirt? That's incredible. I didn't realize the disparity was THAT significant.

Yes shirted benching is very gay.

Walter Sobchak would like your post. I vividly recall that time he mentioned your anus in five posts in a row while calling you gay. ;D
Regarding bench shirts, I got 405-lb pretty easily using the black Slingshot, by Mark Bell.
I think I could have gotten quite a bit more...I was just worried about it getting injured...but it adds a lot.

Depends on the shirt.
I know Tiny and he can bench 600+ RAW.
I've seen guys who can press 350 and can press over 700 in a shirt.
There are different levels of shirts.

Ha! That's crazy...
I actually met an American Strongman when he came to Canada to compete who said he got 700 in the shirt, but had a raw bench of only 350. I was astounded by that, and I wondered if perhaps he was an exceptional case...but perhaps not?
Incidentally, this is the Strongman who said that:
-
Steroids
-
Steroids
pure natty brah
all "hot stuff and creatine" bro

Definitely not isolated. Big Geordie Lee of castle gym had a raw of 165kg but suited something like 300!!!

Yes Walter is definitely a fan of mens assholes.

I'm so glad I found that ignore feature.
Sometimes he'll call me Matt Canning on here, as if I'm in ANY way hiding my Identity, lol. He so desperately wants to find something to embarrass me, so he projects his own concerns.
He thinks I must not spend time with my kids, given how much time I spend on here. Because he's projecting his own schedule, being a slave to his 9-5, to pay his mortgage.
And then he talks about your asshole, or calls me gay...not grasping how gay that is. Once again, projecting.
As I said, I'm just glad I found that block feature [thanks to those who let me know about it].

That's an amazing increase, wow.
So we have equipped powerlifting... not to be thought of as being the same as raw powerlifting!!

Correct.
-
Years ago I knew a fella that could hit 365 raw and 585 in a shirt. Told me the shirt only helps at the bottom. >:(

I have seen experienced lifters increase their raw lifts by 200-300 pounds with those stupid shits.
-
I actually am suspicious of this lift. The guy only has a sub 500 bench in competition a few years ago.
See those red 25kg plates stacked vertically? Would be insanely hard to pic up when stacked like that.. The lift looks too fast and easy as well. I don't know.

Good point on the stacking. There was a lot of bend in that bar though.
-
Don't know him personally but I hear he's legit.
-
https://www.openpowerlifting.org/u/danialzamani .
His official numbers. Best Raw in 2016, was #474. Best single ply in 2017 was #760. He was missing single ply attempts in the high #700s, low 8s in 2019. He has put on a decent amount of bodyweight since that #474 though, about #60. It's a head scratcher, I'll wait till he competes again.

That did look very easy.

The only lifts that count are in competition, Otherwise who knows what shenanigans were played.

Could be fake, never really know, but I've seen his videos slowly going up in weight recently and it's quite impressive to watch. I don't think I've ever seen him squat or dead though.

Bro...

The white lettering on real Eleiko powerlifting plates should be raised, not painted.
Danial is full of Shi'ite

That's a massive revelation, if correct.

that is true . it is ridiculous

To this day, the best 700-plus raw press was Kirill Sarychev, with his 738. No chest compression-rebound. Just a supremely controlled rep. Feather touch and a legit pause.
Julius Maddox always hugely compression-rebounds. Like this Iranian filthy Muzzie in this thread.
Speaking of Maddox, his window is quickly closing. No man can survive his bodyweight and drug abuse for any length of time. It’s why these hyper freaks almost always shine for a few years then … essentially disappear.
The life-threatening drug use required to approach the otherworldly poundages cannot be maintained.

i don't know how old you are Rob, but you've been around a long time.
do you remember how strict judging was in the 70s-80s?
big Jim Williams did a 700lb strict bench that was disallowed because of wrist wraps.
Arcidi's first attempt to beat Kaz; he was red lighted for a slightly perceptible uneven lockout.
don't even get me started on bench 'shirts' or deadlifts these days
-
I’m 53.
Without question the standards have dropped, across all but a couple federations.
-

Agreed
The multi-ply bench press world record is currently 1,350 pounds.
The biggest deadlift ( multi ply-suit + straps ) is 1,104 pounds....
What's next ? Powerloading meets ?

The multi-ply bench press has truly become preposterous.
In so many ways, powerlifting itself has become preposterous.
For all Westside offered in ways of alternate thinking, it’s also irreparably harmed the sport. For the legend that Chuck Vogelpohl is and others from that gym, his/their squatting was generally less of a squat and more an exaggerated hip thrust.

last time i was at the arnold classic, a guy attempted to bench 750 with a shirt (they aren't shirts, they are just a semicircle thing they put their arms in at the time)
he was red lighted twice because he couldn't even pull it down to touch his chest!!
third attempt he went to 800, and it made it down to his chest and he popped it up for a good 'lift'.
i was told that whatever you could pop off the racks on the bench, was what your shirted bench would be, the bottom 75% was all shirt
-
My max was 320 in contest. I feel like I may be able to beat that currently. I've given up bringing my shit pecs up, so I'm just trying to get my bench up. I am working to increase it, but training in the 4-rep max range so I don't pull anything.
But speaking of bench press claims - what's with Wilt Chamberlain claiming a 600-LB bench press?
Surely, that can't be close to true? Didn't he have like a 92" reach or something? Did Wilt even bench 405?

I benched 460 lbs for 1 rep, raw, at a body weight of 185 lbs (I'm 5'7''), technically speaking I'm stronger than all
