Poll: Does anyone believe that Hugepecs benches over 500 at 195 bodyweight?????

This is not the guy I was talking about but is very similar...

Awesome arch.  he almost turned that into a deline press.

Out of curiosity, what would a bench shirt add on, say for instance, a 300 pound max lift?

Depends.

If you're fat, like Gene Rychlak, or Mike Wolfe, it will add extreme weights.

Fat in itself will add lots to a raw lift too.

I'm talking about Rychlak getting maybe 400-500 lbs out of his shirt.

Eg, now with Wolfe getting down in weight, I am positive that he would stand no chance to get 700 lbs shirted if he got down to 10% BF.

But at the same time, it's not as simple as adding pounds to a raw lift either.

It takes lots of practice to become a good lifter with shirts. The fatter you are, the easier it is to learn it IMO.

There are some ripped lifters out there who are able to get lots of lbs out of the shirts.

And then there are different plys. Single, double, triple plys. And canvas. 

You could probably get 40-50 lbs out of a single ply shirt without too much training though.

In powerlifting, fat = rules.

monster hate crime potential...hahahaha

actually quite unbelievable, this dude sees a half inch by half inch picture of a guy that looks slightly timid and he gets so angry as to want to hurt the guy...hahahah...and it turns out its a straight actor from hollywood...hahahah...wh at a tool you are..hahaha

exactly nycbull, there are two explanations for "KTMckay's" unbridled hate, first, he's a closet queer and he absolutely hates anyone who he sees as being openly gay and happy and second he sees in that guy everything he's not, handsome, successful, while he's still eating bologna sandwiches on the midnight shift at the local factory.

well he does have huge pecs

Maybe he is big_D's relative?

Well it defintiely is possible.  A few guys over here benched close to and over 600 weighing less than 200 or a couple pounds over.  Julian Lee is one along with Francis Silva.  Hell Doug Ortiz benched around 450 weighing around 150 or 160 at my meet.  So 500 at 195 is easily possible.

Benching 450 with a benchpress shirt @ 150 does not even come close to benchpressing 450 lbs raw.

I would be very surprised if this "Doug Ortiz" could benchpress 400 lbs raw.

As for Julian Lee and Francis Silva benchpressing 600 lbs @ around 200 lbs...

I don't believe it.

No 200 lbs benchpresser is able to benchpress 600 lbs raw, to my knowledge.

And you claim there are two guys who are doing it?

No way.

We have a fat guy on our team that gets 530 in a shirt.

Rumor is that he maxes out with 315 lbs raw. 

Ridiculous.

You can alway look in the record books.  I know Julian is listed.  Not sure about Francis.

Just looked it up.  Julian is still the USPF 220 lb. class 2nd place behind Ed Coan.  He did 617 at a bodyweight of 217.  I called Oahu and ask my friend how much Julian weighed.  So I was a little off.  He said Francis did a 607 at 207.  SO I am wrong sorry, but still unreal.

Is a 705 squat at  a bodyweight of 148 good.  I know a guy who does that

[onlyme]

A little add-on to the above post.  I think those are old numbers.  But they are in the record books.  Doug Oritiz also benched 363 at 123 lb.  Julian did a 590 at 198

I stand corrected.

Julian Lee lifted 600.8 lbs in 4-2-1989, using the first generation benchpress shirt. He probably got 10-20 lbs out of it?

Edit: Compare that to todays shirts, shirts that adds 400+ lbs to a guy like Gene Rychlak.

 Gene Rychlak uses triple or 4-ply.
