I thought that was new. I recall Dave Palumbo saying he hit 315x43.

How is he doing today?

he should have kept going and see if he could have gotten 50, even if he had to pause for a bit on bottom on each rep. 

Pretty insane considering 95% of lifters can't even do it once... myself included :(

That ain`t hit....anybody that`s been training for many years that`s worth a shit should be able to do that many reps with 200 pound less than his bodyweight.

I'd like to see him give it one more go on raw-bench against Maddox. I think Maddox has it at 770 (which is insane).
Though he (Maddox) weighs 440 like a freaking elephant. (His heart may not take that for too long).
