Five-Hundred-Pound Standing Press

[NarcissisticDeity]

I think the last entry there is saying he did a "one-arm dumbbell bench press" 300x11.

Odd that he could to that with 240x40 but only 300x11.

Didn't know they made 300-lb DBs.

It looks more like a three-quarter rep. It is still amazing.

Haha I’ve seen him arguing in the comments a few times one I seen he was telling a bloke who had said something along the lines of “I can shoulder press half my body weight too” saying nobody will know he lifted the bloke was in stitches saying believe me nobody who sees you outside the gym thinks you lift either. How can that fat fuck think he looks like he lifts ffs

Anderson is one of those weird cases. Not much film, lot of lifting on odd contraptions, and a lot of good ole boy "that sure looks heavy" guessing at weights with his lifts, and a lot of "I remember". He got a lot of passes because he was a nice guy and did a lot of charity work.

For instance he gets credited with a #300+ pound shoulder press, but it was really what was known as a side press -

To his credit, a lot of the claims for his strength he never made, they were from neighbors and friends, etc....

Fortress has no issue with a strength athlete being what many on Getbig would call fat (in truth, most of these examples are chunky or “beefy”, not fat), but this feller is FAT AS FUCK.

I've met numerous people who don't train look like shit but are naturally strong af. Genetics.

Wheels did 500 for 5 I think seated all the way to the collarbone which is absolutely insane.
