Awesome, simply awesome.

Awesome, simply awesome.

Raw is awesome.
Nothing else

I remember when the world record was like 705, i think a lot of these supposed 800-1000 pound bench presses are horse shit.  He must have been wearing a space age polymer bench shirt designed by NASA

they should wipe the record books clean, end all drug testing, and require shirtless benches.

Start from scratch.  800 pounds with no shirt is far more impressive than 1100 pounds while wearing 17 bench shirts.

haha, you probably can't even leg press 1036 unless your hands are on your knees "just for safety". i don't use a shirt any more and i doubt i will again, but no matter what he locked out 1036 pounds and that's fucking incredible.

yep, 715. watch out for robert wilkerson though. his third meet ever and he hit 615 raw along with an 800 squat. i think nick winters hit 665 touch and go recently too.

           I didnt claim to bench 1036 pounds, Dumbass

          I no doubt could add a few hundred pounds to my bench if i added Anadrol, GH, ten different kinds of test and a space age polymer Bench Shirt.     Idiot

[IceCold]

but, brad castelcock (dante's boy) is doing 675.

 

[Peaking at 45 !!!]

Incredible weight ---but it is an artificial lift----this bench shirt stuff is utter nonsense. How much can you bench with just a plain t-shirt on ??     


Bench shirt = 

[chaos]

guys wearing these bench shirts can't even move their arms, they look funny as shit walking around, psyching themselves up, with their arms poking straight out in front of them

[SquatAss]

no one, far as i know mendelson has the raw record at like 715.

Check out Ben White pressing 700.

Bench shirts have been in the sport for thirty freaking years.Yes,they add numbers,but if everyone uses them,what seems to be the problem.I know that synthol,calf implants,t-3,dnp,growth hormone etc. is what makes bodybuilding far more legit,but gear in powerlifting is here to stay.By the way,everytime they try to put on a RAW meet,NO ONE SHOWS UP because they are boooooooooring as hell.

[240 is Back]

Who the hell has ever benched 800 raw?!?!?!

Nobody.  But you take all the brakes off (testing, etc) and someone will get there.  I bet it'll be a getbig regular too.

[wisconsinBB]

Bench shirts are the equivilent of high jumpers wearing inspector gadget spring loaded shoes. 

[BM OUT]

Dumbest thing Ive ever read.Let me ask you this.I see all these "hardcore" bodybuilders DVDs and every single one wears wrist wraps,knee wraps,elbow pads,and everything else they possibly can.Geeze,Ronnie Coleman even wears sissy ass lifting gloves.Along with synthol,implants etc. why would you guys EVER try to bash powerlifting.Again,bench shirts have been in the sport for thirty years,what seems to be the problem?

calm down toothpick legs it ain't that serious.

[BM OUT]

Toothpick legs that can squat 942.Compare that to the "legend of strength" Johnny Jackson or the "strongest bodybuilder ever" Ronnie Coleman.Apparently,squating takes much more then big quads.Maybe those bodybuilders just dont have the nads to push heavy weights and crap their pants when it comes to getting under a loaded barbell.Or,perhaps its not really quads that squat,its glutes,hamstrings and lower back.

[wisconsinBB]

Soon, there will be hydraulic pumps in the sleeves of the bench shirts!!  Bodybuilders wear knee wraps/elbow sleeves/wrist wraps as support for joints.  I dont know anyone who's has elbow wraps that increases their bench by 300 pounds.

[BM OUT]

I thought bodybuilding was about developing the muscles to their fullest extent.Perhaps you could try and justify the use of synthol and implants and how that is legit as compared  to bench shirts.

I wont defend synthol and implants, they both suck.   They suck as bad as bench shirts.  Im wondering if powerliftes could wear knee braces like offensive lineman in the NFL, and springload them to help lift the weight

[BM OUT]

Im wondering if bodybuilders can just mail their placings to the judges before the show and not show up.You know,like they do when they post their training numbers and never actually have to prove or back up their lifts.Like when Johnnie Jackson claims to squat 815 with no gear,but then puts on the gear in a meet and squats 826.Now,correct me if Im wrong,but it would seem an 11 pound gain from your gear would either indicate your gear sucks,or that your  a freaking liar and cant come anywhere close to an 815 raw squat.So maybe bodybuilders can just tell the judges how they look without ever having to enter the show and the judges can place them accordingly.
