Title: Bench Press World Record

Imagine if this guy had a huge ego and just posted his lifts everywhere and got into arguments with strangers.

So, how much can he really (raw) bench?

Put his shirt on the female beast and let her have a go while you’re at it.
::)

Impressive in a way but also entirely ridiculous.

Like, it isn’t even really powerlifting, the sport, is it.

I bet all my money this beast of blubber would be chopped in half with much less than half that weight without the support gear.

Maddox ain’t making eight at this point. His time has passed. Even still, his presses close-to aren’t NEAR as impressive as Sarychev’s 738.5. That lift is picture-perfect. Zero compression rebound and with a legit pause.

Kirill, for my money, is, as of 2023, the bench press KING.

a 1400-pound lift is simply nonsense. It’s a circus sideshow spectacle at best.

It's hard to tell, he's been a shirt guy most of his years, the only raw bench contest number he has is #450ish done as a teenager. But then he posts something like this, that shows there is power out of the shirt -

.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was in the 6s for a raw lift.

I’d guess around 630-660.

Just a bull shit lift. Be a fat guy, take a wide grip and arch your back. Push the bar two feet. Congrats you're now an athlete.  We were better off when we had the clean and press. Most big bench press guys couldn't clean half the weight they are pressing.

You mean push the bar 2”.

Two feet is a LONG distance to press a weight.

And …

Some need to quit with the arch-criticism. Yes, absurd contortionist arches are ridiculous, but if you’re interested in bench pressing correctly and to minimally chance injury, to pinch your shoulder blades and properly-biomechanically secure an arch to your spine is the ticket.

All spot-on, as always.

I feel there is bench pressing and shirt benching. They are not the same thing.

Question for you, Fortress: what's the opposite of making you frisky?

Because I believe this "1,260-lb squat" will make you feel that way.  ;D

Ever seen the distance Arnold pushed a bench press? That's a long way to press. His 440lbs bench max is way more impressive than a big fat guy pushing 600lbs less than two feet.

I’ve never seen Arnold press 440, no.

I doubt he ever did, to be honest.

These "bench press only" guys always look like shit, but I guess the fat helps in some way.

That bullshit bench shirt he's wearing is seriously more than DOUBLING what he can actually lift.  Jesus fuckin Christ.

Imagine if this guy had a huge ego and just posted his lifts everywhere and got into arguments with strangers.
