A 400 pound shirtless bench press by a 165 pound, 15 year old... right

[240 is Back]

I will try and find a link of this for you. I did not witness this as I was born in 86' , but that is what the records tell for Fort Myers High School in Fort Myers Florida. Now there are a lot of strong high schoolers. Look at the high school football combines. Bench Press 185 as many as you can. I got 24 at 209 lbs at UF football camp and the top was something rediculous like 39 or 40. But as for myself , I was my strongest at 17 with a 350lb bench. Unfortunately I think I primed out early as it hasnt gotten stronger in 4 years. Now I dont believe that a 400lb bench by a 165 lb kid is accurate.

hey, i went to north fort myers high school.
what was the kids name/ year?  we had a few NFL players come outta this town.

You two are still newlyweds Joe.

TWENTY FIVE YEARS LATER.

Okay Liar.

Your obviously one of ones on here with severe attention deficite disorder because you read my first post and drew your conclusion by not reading the last post I responded to Hedge with.....get with the program junour, you're falling behind!

[Hedgehog]

you never know. there's a few freaks out there. at my high school a dude hit 385 as a sophomore weighing around 250 and we were hardly a school known for the bigger dudes. let the kid bounce it off his chest and bring his ass up and i'm willing to bet there are quite a few high schoolers capable of it. there's some genetic freaks out there.

A 385 lbs benchpress @ 250 lbs bodyweight, sure I can believe that. Very, very good benchpress at that age.

Now subtract 85 lbs from the bodyweight and add 10 lbs to the bar, and you have the weights Intenseone claims at the same age.

395 lbs@165lbs.

I think you should give benchpress competition a shot.

Training with a shirt won't stress the pec.

And if any of your claims are true, you should easily be able to win any competition you decide on enter.

Just remember to compete in non-tested organisations such as WPO and USPF.

"Ok, I know you've been following these retarted thread's that SF's posted in the years and maybe you either don't remember some of the responses I've given or just don't want to accept them, so I'll go over it ONE MORE TIME.

I have always benched and trained heavy up until 2002 when I tore my chest for the first time, up until then I regularly went to 405 for reps on bench with no problems. After that I was afraid to train heavy on bench or do any straight bar work. About 2 years ago, I went back to bench every other chest workout alternating straight bar with DB's. It worked fine for about a month or so. One day I was doing close grip bench and it tore again.

Today, I rarely bench just for being afraid of ANOTHER tear, I also (as I mentioned in another thread, a partially torn labrum in my right shoulder). No, Zack, the strength is still there, but no more injuries. At my age I would an absolute idiot to train as heavy as I used to.

C'mon, Zack, I know your smarter than that, don't ask stupid questions!"

I have no doubt if I was healthy I would do well.

You ever tried a shirt though?

C'mon, you need to try a shirt.

Get a size 44 or 46 to train with, and perhaps a size 42 for the competitions.



You know you want to.

Never tried a shirt, they didn't have them back then. It's kinda like cheating. How much would it add to say a 405 bench?

You would need to train with it thoroughly, it's like everything, you becomes good at what you train at. Some guys don't get more than 20-30 lbs from it, and it doesn't matter how much they train with the shirt.

But you could probably with some 3-4 months of training reach a 500 lbs benchpress, depending on how much fat tissue you're willing to put on.

You have short arms, a stocky build. Which indicates you would have no big issues with the shirt.

Most of all, you need to be strong at the lockout, and the top of the ROM, where the shirt helps the least.

Joe, how old were you when you did your first cycle? 12, 13?

[joelocal]

15, Dr.Kerr. It was legal back then.

[Hedgehog]

15, Dr.Kerr. It was legal back then.

If it was legal today, what would you tell a 15 year old?

[joelocal]

Of course not, nor would I recommend it to someone who's body isn't fully mature, alot less was known back then.

[SirTraps]

WTF ? Joe you were juiced to the gills as a 15 year old ? 

[joelocal]

Yeah, at 16 I was 5'4 and a  shredded 260 benching 900

[SirTraps]

Joe you might be 6 feet tall if it wasnt for all the aas at age 15, you realize that dont you ?    That will seriously stunt your growth.

[joelocal]

No one in my family was close to 6ft, but then again, if we knew then what we know now.....

Do you have kids? Like, your own ones?

hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

juicing at 15... oh brother what a man.

[Mydavid]

I knew Dr. Kerr and his kids (they were hot)...he used to live off of Roses Rd, right, or at least the kids did?

[Mydavid]

That was in the late 70's/80's...Dr. Kerr was getting it for lots of people in the area and it never seemed wrong.

[no one]

Can't remember, but I broke the BP record at my high school when I was a sophmore, the record was held by a senior at that time who weighed 225 and did 375, I broke it at 165 and did 395.

lol.

lmao.

bwahahahaha.

fuck you are such a loser.

[Van_Bilderass]

Props to Joe for being honest about starting at 15. I don't think it will stunt growth all or even most of the time either. Depends on the compounds used and how far along you are in your natural development etc etc.

Still don't believe the 405 bench 

Anyone know of any 15 year old weighing less than say 200lbs benching that much raw, ever? I mean a verified lift. I don't see why Joe would totally make it up, but maybe it's the truth with a slight modification. Perhaps a hands on the bar spot (Dingleberry style).

[MisterMagoo]

A 385 lbs benchpress @ 250 lbs bodyweight, sure I can believe that. Very, very good benchpress at that age.

395 lbs@165lbs.

oh yeah, that's total BS. i meant the guy who said someone at his school hit over 500. 395@165 is beyond world class. that's the kind of thing that would get him sought after by colleges immediately.
