does anyone remember back in the day in the WSM they used to bench press for strength? why don't they do that anymore, it would be cool to see what some of these guys could do

they've never flat benched in WSM, the only time they had anything resembling a flat bench is like 1984 or something when Sigmarrson, Geoff Capes and Ab Wolders were competing they had a log press while lying flat on the floor.

Last time they did anything bench like was in the early 90's I believe. It was actually an incline log bench.


As a brave 200lb kid once said to Scott Mendelson, "benching is for pussies."  ;D

I saw in one of the grand prix tournaments where they had a bench press set up,the way they have a bar attached to a car,and it was for maximum reps.I think Samuelsson won.
