633 RAW Bench

[devilsmile]

I hear ya devil, and me thinks that Bill Kaz would agree wit ya

that man was a beast... all I'm saying is that I wanted to make an absurd comment like so many here, kinda knowing it's part true but puting it out in a ridiculous manner... ya know...

when we talk about power it's kinda hard to determine what is the absolute power.... power to move and throw still objects? power to run faster than a gerbard and not get tirred?

Man, Gold's Gym Tallahasee didn't have any fake plates, I don't have any tattoos, and the hat was given to me by Bobby Bowden, just a simple FSU hat...forearms are right at 20 inches now, not sure about the bi's...but thanks for the opinions.

Please don't own our long term posters like that.  Without Getbig we don't have much going on.  Thanks.

Yeah man that is kind of a touchy subject, but I think if you are talking about upper body strength, and in particular in the chest, arms, and shoulders, then white Northern Europeans are the masters. But if you talk about leg and hip power (running and jumping) well then the black man is the dominant force. But you gots to remember dat this is only in general and not true in every single case.

between 235 and 240...I did sprints to keep bw down but wanted to put on the mass so a few months ago I gained to 270 and now I'm cutting down to 240 again, somewhere around 255 now so I won't have to diet before next show.  Wolfe is the man...one of my favorite pics that day was with you and Winters...haha...big bastards..

Lord have Mercy. I wonder How much you bench with a shirt?.......

it's beaten to death everytime too 

whenever I see someone extremely good at something, I allways ask; "train, how long, train what methods..." that's the most important, attitude and genetics play the second role... you saw how mike tyson and douglas got obese by 300lbs when they quit pro fighting? they just blew up like balloons, just like any sportsman who quits fitness after pro career, you can argue about steroids, but if the other one is superior in genetics, it shouldn't matter that much.

Everything I can't do is either fake or all drugs.  Pretty sure that's in the Terms of Use agreement.

They should change the term RAW bench to REAL bench.....


Jeremy, that is freakin' incredible man.  Awesome...

Speaking of bench shirts, JM says that a good shirt can give the bigger guys 150 to even 200 extra pounds to their bench, so a 633 raw is looking at a possible 800 shirt assisted. I remember a 148er who could only bench 275 raw, but when he slipped on his shirt he could get 400.

[devilsmile]

why didn't nobody watch my video link of scott mendelson benching 715 raw 

[dj181]

Probably because he has a 1000 pound assisted lift to his credit BTW, did you check out Ayn Rand?

Nice benching. 20 inch forearms are huge - especially considering your height! My forearms are around 16.5 inches at a height of 6'-2" and 290 lbs. Upper arms are around 20 inches. I have naturally big foreams. I really should start working my forearms again with deadlifts. Although I doubt they will ever reach 20 inches. That's insane.

no You're the fucking idiot.....helping much?? hope so

Awesome raw benching.  Glad to see raw lifting is making a comeback.  I guess the raw rules vary by org as the one I lift in doesn't even allow wrist wraps for raw lifters, just a belt.

I saw a guy bench 800# with gear at body weight of 212, then when he lifted in a RAW meet he got 510. Thats 290# more with the shirt.

[Danimal77]

Pretty amazing.

Guys like Kaz (670), Ted Arcidi (705 pounds) were pushing more weight than that 30 + years ago.
