Anything is possible with enough drugs.

I am not impressed by these 'roidheads.

Still, unreal strength. I know tons of drug takers, none come close to benching this.
Especially at this bodyweight.

You have to know how to train but without the drugs it's impossible for all but the genetically gifted, of which there are few.

Doug Hepburn, who was natty,  was considered the strongest presser on earth in his day (early 1950s) and benched 500 weighing 290 at 5'9".

A guy at my gym, early 80s, benched 500, taking drugs, weighing about 190, at 5"8. 

Why should this guy impress me?

An 80-something year old guy benching 500 is pretty good.

It was amazing.

He still can put up some big numbers in his 120's.

Excellent pressing, regardless of drug use.

I disagree.

There are many (enhanced) lifters around the vid guy’s size pushing numbers well into the fours.

Only several men have ever ventured over seven. Before Maddox there was Sarychev’s … 738. 

Ever-increasing poundage on the bar doesn’t correlate in symmetry with ever-increasing bodyweight.

Smaller and smaller increments of performance demand correspondingly greater and greater horsepower and leverages.

The sheer ability to withstand 800 in the lockout position is otherworldly.

I agree that just being able to move 800 is insane no question. Yeah I take that back I guess. Strong guy either way though.

I'm not impressed, I benched 460 lbs at 185 lbs years ago, it was touch and go, but no wrist bands and no sleeves, just a weight lifting belt

Be honest about your weight bro. You benched 185 at 450. Not that impressive. But I’m glad you lost the weight.
