Strong and he did it without a crazy arch. Strong bench! I wonder if he could deadlift it for three reps?  Seen a lot of bench specialists that were a one trick pony.

His first try with #405 months ago, he played college football years ago at LB position  -

"GQ: Talk to me about the bench press for a second. I played college football. I was a wide receiver. And the most I got up to was about 330, so 405 is…wow!

Jamaal Bowman: It was the first time I had ever done 405 in my life. So I guess I'll start there. The week before, I did 345 for like three, maybe even four, and I was like, “OK, if I could do that for three, I could get 405 for one at least.” So the following week, I just did 405 lb for one. And yeah, man, you know obviously very proud to be a 46 going on 47-year-old person, and being able to do that. I guess I'm even more proud because I haven't been the best in terms of taking care of my body over the last several years, so I've kinda re-dedicated myself in 2023 to just be consistent in the gym. I've been consistent since early January, and to get up to 405 in like two months is pretty cool."

A google search says he weighs 202 lbs.  One-rep max calculators estimate somewhere from 428-440 lbs from 405x3.  An extra 35 lbs on your 3-rep max seems like too much so let's say 425-430, but even then that's a borderline world-class lift if he really weighs only 200 lbs.

In this video though he looks a lot bigger than 200 to me.

Physically strong but morally flaccid, i.e., a Democrat.  Nice bench press Pedo Pal and supporter of Child Mutilation.  Go to Hades.  Do not pass "GO!"  and do not collect WELFARE!

I’ve hit 405, I didn’t need to be a ‘brew to manage it.

202 maybe if he’s 5’. Guy looks 275.

First rep looked very easy for him.

Not Aristotle, Augustine, Descartes, Berkeley, Locke, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, or even a non-western Confucius or Buddha, instead this brainiac looks to Rakim for wisdom of the self:

"If Rakim didn't tell me 'With knowledge of self there's nothing I can't solve,' I never would have pursued knowledge of self which gave me the self esteem and self worth to be standing here before you today," said Bowman (https://rollcall.com/2023/04/27/grammys-on-the-hill-culminates-with-push-to-limit-use-of-lyrics-in-court/).

Amazing, considering he only tripled 345 a week before: "It was the first time I had ever done 405 in my life. So I guess I'll start there. The week before, I did 345 for like three, maybe even four, and I was like, “OK, if I could do that for three, I could get 405 for one at least.”  ??? ??? ???

Hey, Scott!  :D

SMH -- if Sapir-Whorf (roughly, that language determines thought) and Wittgenstein (language delimits world) have any bearing, professors Rakim and Bowman are impoverished fools.

Greetings Kahn!

So the way one expresses oneself or speaks to others influences one's view of one's own reality.  Kinda sorta?

So if a person talks like a fucktard speaks weebeeze their theme song is sung by Cartman:

And let us hope that Rakim and Bowman stay impoverished fools.
