hahahaha, check this clip out, does anyone believe it? watch where he lowers the bar to on his chest and watch the ease of the reps, this clip is the biggest bullshit i've ever seen.

Love how the bar doesn't really bend with over 6 wheels aside. I have more bend in the bar when I bench 5 wheels a side for 6 reps

45 - waist

I can't see the clip from where I am now but I will say this about Dino Bravo. I remember seeing him when he was younger and he was really thin then he bulked up to what you're seeing here. I've got a friend who's "in the business" and wrastles at smaller shows and he's heard that Bravo was strong as hell around the time he "benched 700" or whatever that was, he could rep 500 from what i hear through my buddy. Now this is 3rd hand information so maybe it's a little far fetched but I remember him being pretty damn thick.

He died, don't remember how...auto accident? Or did he kill himself? Anyone?

He killed himself while attempting to do this with real plates

The Squadfather · « **Reply #4 on:** April 16, 2007, 07:25:14 AM »

hahahahaha, no fuccking way is that clip real, watch the way he reps 405 on his first set with ease, i will gaurantee you that only 2 plates per side were real.

Billy Gaham admits in his book that alot of the plates he used for this type of thing were made of wood back in the 70's.

By this post, we now know you never worked out with more than 315. How does it feel to only use the dumbells all the way to the left on the rack?

method - tank top

He's almost as strong as the time Mr Intenseone benched 525 while being taken up the ass by Jim Quinn.

The Squadfather · « **Reply #10 on:** April 16, 2007, 07:30:56 AM »

hahahahah, i'm sure he'd attempt 715 with one lift off man/spotter.

He was shot, and they think it was mob/gang related. Pretty nasty.

yeah he was exectued by gangsters as he was hevily involved in cigarette smuggling etc. He was found with a shit load of bullets in him. They tried to make out he could bench 700, but its been suggested his 1rm was between 525-550

SS · « **Reply #13 on:** April 16, 2007, 10:06:18 AM »

Let me get this straight. The WWF lies about things? And McMahon is such a class act, too.

HUGEPECS · « **Reply #20 on:** April 16, 2007, 10:49:10 AM »

this shit is as fake as The WWE

Scimowser · « **Reply #21 on:** April 16, 2007, 11:23:07 AM »

so if anyone knows about fake plates, what would that have weighed? Are we talking 350-400lbs at a push?

i would say 315-335 probably, how many big benchers have you seen bench 600 pounds for reps two inches above the nipples, hahahahahaha, this clip is faker than Derek Anthony's arms and calves.

Scimowser · « **Reply #23 on:** April 16, 2007, 11:41:51 AM »

it looks too easy to be legit, what would eash plate weigh? 15lbs maybe?
