To Nasser's credit he was at least doing full ROM instead of those bullshit half and quarter reps.

15 is still shitty for a 300 lbs muscular dude.

I read a review on this, the reporter said Nasser  went first so set the amount to be bettered which is a disadvantage and he was the only one who used proper form. inb4 nassernuthuggeracusation s.  ;D

If the numbers given in his book are correct, then it is Marko Savolainen in his prime.

Wrong- Chris Dickerson could only bench 2 plates!

Dickerson lifted 790lbs in the three Olympic lifts on the day of his AAU Mr. America win weighing about 170. Most bodybuilders today get tired walking the day of the contest. Back in the day you had to Olympic lift for athletic points to prove you weren't a cosmetic athlete. If you can find a top ten pro today that can lift 300lbs off the floor to over head I wouldn't believe it.

Dickerson had serious shoulder, back and knee issues toward the end of his career that was around 20 years of competing. He also trained very fast with light weights toward the end. Most guys who thought he was a pussy in the gym couldn't keep up with him after doing every exercise for around 6 sets of 10 with little rest in between sets.

Milos clearly. 256 reps with 12 pounds on incline is impressive.

Hahahaha

eddie robinson.

the guy had world bench records in his early 20's.

He benched 610lbs at 220lbs bodyweight, which was an unofficial world record at the time. I think he was only 21 or 22 when he did that as well.

I'm only sharing what Boyer Coe told me back in early 1990's, he said the guy used to use really light weights.
As with all competitors, there are some elements of untruth- for sure!! ;)

Brutal syntholled biceps. Also, In my two decades of frequenting gyms, that's the first time I've ever seen one "man" wipe the sweat off of another man's body between sets.  :-X

What about Stumpy and Eddie Ellwood ?
I remember multi pro mr Universe Eddie competing a couple of times at Britain's strongest man around 10 years ago and he wiped the floor with everyone until he injured himself.
If stumpy had been 4 inches taller he would have done some damage.

i cant believe you morons dont understand what nasser was doing

he was making it a point that bb is not a benching for reps like a tard competition

it was the passive agressiveness of nasser coming out as he did really slow full reps with 225 not trying even to get a lot of reps

Stan Efferding has the 275 world record in the RAW Powerlifting Division. J. Jackson has world class strength and Ben White is a top notch Bencher. Their success as bodybuilders, however, is debatable.
