Holy shit! 405lbs RAW bench for 12 perfect reps

[tommywishbone]

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll!!

Good video. Tasty soundtrack.

Nice reps. I think his max raw single would be in the highs 4's or very low 5's at the most. Still an excellent bench press.

I'm think more like 550+

That was pretty impressive.

[Kyle Cavnar]

[dzulboy]

[beatmaster]

I thought I was a strong bencher when I did 315 for 12 just like this guy did for 3 sets. We had a guy at our gym (this was some 12 years ago) do what this guy just did, he slapped the 405's up and down for 8 0r so with ease, then his 2 partners put another 45 plate on each side before he racked it and he banged out 3 reps. I was in awe, but this guy dwarfed me in sheer muscle mass. He was a big dude and I am not talked juice big. He probably was on juice but you could tell that he did not need to be.

lol wtf...so he did 8 reps with 405

and then while hes still on the bench his partners put on two more plates and he does three more reps. 

hahaha...dont know how legit that is...but doing 495x3 right after doing 405x8 seems pretty unlikely...but ill take your word for it

the guy did 8 reps "or so" easily, then just sat there holding it while two guys put another plate on, then kept going. i'm not sure who's supposed to believe that (or the fact that you added that you could do 315 for 3 sets of 12 for no good reason), but it sure as hell isn't me.

hahahaha, exactly, so he goes to near failure with 405 and then they put another 45lb. plate on each side and he does three more, hahahahahaha, ok.

[onlyme]

anyone notice the bar had ZERO bend

Went over this before 405 won't bend the bar much if at all with the hands wide.  Also could have been a really good bar.

exactly, 405 won't bend any quality 7 foot Olympic bar, if that little amount of weight is bending a bar it's made very poorly.

Cmon this is a bodybuilding board, most persons dont care about big lifts.. powerlifting boards -> that way

Really?

  the reason I mentioned what I could do was to prove a point. I thought (at the time) that I was really strong at this lift.............until this guy came in and did what he did.
  Again, I saw what I saw. I have no reason to make any of this up.

  you are a sack of shit.................... .

He's right though. You are one dumb guy.

[Eric2]

He's right though. You are one dumb f**cker.

 what the fuck are you talking about ?

[SquatAss]

what the f**k are you talking about ?

He probably was on juice but you could tell that he did not need to be.

I just saw (live at a bb show) Magnus Samuelsson bench 460lbs for 5 reps with a slight spot. Impressive? Nah...

where was this?

[Van_Bilderass]

Sweden. Magnus was nursing a lower back injury and benched with his feet crossed in the air. He thought he could possibly do 660lbs next year. Today he wasn't that impressive IMO.
