Nah, trust me, you won't - I'm very laid back and I always try to get along. Life's too short to be hatin' and fightin'.

Plus, you are a cool guy and a tank, you stud you.

  Wrong. I did bench 600+ lbs raw for a single - with the aid of a benching shirt - years ago, when I was on the sauce and weighted 330 lbs - at a height of 6'4.

any video or pics of this feat?

My uncle destroyed 600lb back in '99

He lowered the bar super slow and rested it on his chest for 5 seconds.

We all thought he'd bottomed out, but all of a sudden his arms just flew up like a hydrolic lift.

It was as if 135lb was on the bar.

3 clean and controlled reps followed.

Not a spotter in sight either.

the thing is though is that James is 6'5" and 400 pounds, he's not claiming ridiculous shit like 19 and half inch arms at 205 on 2 meals a day natural like you, you're the biggest bullshitter on here by far.

He gets kinda stuck mid-rep, but doesn't appear to be getting much help if any in raising the bar.

I'm not sure if the spotter really touches the bar.


            senseless this guydoesn't appear to be too bright. as seen in mti when he got called a wuss by ohotog he upped the weight for a pic. didn't he ever hear of jean fux.

Exactly. I think that's one of the main reasons why bodybuilders looked a whole lot better in the 90s - back then, we all heard plenty of stories and saw clips of insane lifts by guys like Ronnie, Dorian, Kevin, Marcus, Cormier etc. I haven't seen anyone from the current crop who has a rep for lifting heavy like that. Seems like they rely on drugs and Slin a lot more now, to look muscular, rather than get that look from heavy lifting.

Guys who lift heavy ALWAYS have a look of thickness, density and maturity that the guys who lift light and get pumped up on juice will never have. That's why guys like Milos looked paper thin next to guys like Ronnie and Dorian.


  Excellent post. Dorian and Ronnie are two of the three bodybuilders from the past 25 years who didn't rely exclusively on drugs to build their physiques. The other was Mike Francois, but unfortunately colitis got to him.

thing is, dude, that's james henderson, arguably the greatest raw bencher in history. he's not just some guy at someone's gym that no one's ever heard of. i mean, if you happened to see brian siders or jeremy hoornstra benching then yeah people would believe you, but to claim that a random dude tucked away in a gym in buttfuck nowhere is smashing 585 raw is like saying a guy down the street from you runs a 40 yard dash in 4.3.

wsup Magoo...
so let me ask you something what if before gym Henderson was "known" he was benching 5 or 6 wheels in a gym somewhere everyone has to be unknown before they are known. Or is that its only when they are well known that these kind of feats are feasible...?
think outside of the box....
i am by no means exceptional at bench .... you have people who are... and if i can move 4 wheels...
what would an exceptional bencher be moving??? ... cut back on the cynicism..
i have seen with nmy 2 eyes 6 wheels been benched... have no need to lie

a 19yr old in my gym was benching 400lbs at 210lbs easily and drug free

He was just great at it. I beat him on everything else apart from them. Some people are just gifted

only you know if that's true or not and frankly i'm not here to debate it. i'm just explaining why people would be skeptical. once you get into a certain realm the odds of one being capable of things without competing whatsoever is increasingly slim.

someone ripping 4 plates in the gym? totally feasible. i'm almost there and i'm a noodle.

a dude hitting five plates that doesn't do PL meets? not impossible, i know two (although they're pretty gassed up and one MIGHT have done comps).

six plates? now you're starting to talk about the 1% of the 1% and someone that DOESN'T compete obviously isn't trying to peak, which means you're sitting on a guy who could ostensibly become one of only fifty men in history to do a certain athletic feat.

see what i mean? the odds start to get more and more remote for there to be a guy hidden in a gym nowhere that plays no sports, does no competitions, and yet is so strong he'd be able to rack up 1st place trophies by the armload if he ever sauntered his way onto the platform.

Zack khan is 300 odd lbs there and 6'2 and on every drug under the sun.

Plus he never got it.

Of course its possible that some guys in teh gym will bench 585lbs

Also you lot are fucking retards. Boots is taking the piss out of you. Normally id let you guys be and laugh at you but you guys are getting wound up. Is it the same uncles that was 'getting teh better of tyson in a street brawl''

dont be retards. Enjoy his humour without getting a stomach ulcer

I second that excellent post comment.

It used to be that pro's were as strong as well as big. Part of me thinks that's how it should be. It's good to see a guy like Khan attempting a weight like that.

Personally, if i had to choose to be big, strong, or big and strong i'd choose big and strong anytime.

never compared myself with anyone....
I said exceptional benchers....


magoo... who came up with the figure that its only in the 1 percentile..
not everything falls under a formula .. or statistic...
for instance my mentor at the 2nd gym i trained at benched 5 wheels.. i personally unracked this for me.... deadlifted 7 plates
and what about layne norton..?
or the vid someone posting of someone who posts here deadlifting 700lbs?
it really bemuses me how people can sit behind a keyboard and rattle off figures that governs the 6.7 billion billion people that live on planet earth....
anyway.. I leave you all to it

50 men have benched 600 or better in a competition. statistically that's .00000000083% of the population. so do some adjusting for 585 instead of 600 and a gym bench rather than a meet lift and i'm still being generous.

and what about layne norton..?

well-established bodybuilding competitor, sponsored athlete, has done powerlifting meets.

jason pegg, veteran powerlifting competitor, also a sponsored athlete (i think). again, proving my point that you just can't find people doing those kind of absurd feats unless they're competitors.

bemused: deeply absorbed in thought. contrary to what you might think, "bemused" and "amused" are not similar words. please stop.

I did mean mean bemused as in it makes me deeply wonder and analyse where you guys come from with these statistics and i am quite aware of the definition...
..so what about layne norton before he was known.....??
what you are sayin is there is no possible was  unless someone is know or enters power lifting meets they can move 5 or 6 plates...
so at some point in my life when i WILL bench 5 wheels...  or when you HIT 5 wheels what then.... ?
 ???
ok man
i hear ya...

before layne was known... he wasn't squatting over 500 pounds or deadlifting over 600. he was a kid on bb.com who did a few local shows, had some potential.

what i'm saying is that (aside from your claim that you'll bench 5 plates natty is even funnier than your claim to be benching 4 plates natty) is that the odds of some dude hiding in your gym with a six wheel bench that has THAT much athletic ability but isn't using it for anything whatsoever are crazy low. again, like saying your friend can run a 40 yard dash in 4.3, maybe it's possible but why the hell would someone THAT good not be doing anything athletic with his life?

the reason it's rare is because usually anyone that strong, that fast, that whatever is actually capitalizing on his ability. it'd be like finding a guy claiming to have a 195 IQ who can solve 5x5x5 rubiks cubes but he works at IHOP as a janitor. sure, people do that, but do you really think someone that naturally talented is mopping puke and syrup up for a living? the guy benching six plates at your gym isn't playing any sports, he doesn't compete, nothing?

meso, you're an okay guy, strong as hell, and you look good, but you do drop a lot of BS out of your mouth man.

I used to life in Tallahassee, FL and i knew a guy who repped 585 on close grips about 5 weeks out from Southern State bodybuilding comp, and regularly went over 600 for reps.

His name is Jeremy Hoornstra.  And he will go down as the best in history!
