List of pro wrestler's bench presses

[Mr Nobody]

so it's a give or take situation?

True.

[tommywishbone]

The guy that played Ludvig Borga could bench 600 for a couple of reps

Long time friend of mine Tony Halme. He's gone now.  Fought Randy Couture in UFC 5, I believe. Lost via rear naked. No shame in that.

Became an elected politician in Flindland.

 'Total Package' Lex Luger - 530

 Scott Steiner - 525 (he claimed he could do over 600 in the dying days of WCW BUT Steiner was heavily into kayfabe back then and had stated in previous interviews that he avoided the benchpress where possible, owing to injuries)

[chess315]

i just dont see Magnum TA doing sets with 350

[galeniko]

i bench 200maximum

i think all these wrestlers(oh brother,wrestlers)all exagerate by the factor 5.

wresteling is fake so the lift will be fake too.

[The Showstoppa]

Mike Graham 440, Steve Keirn 425 are both bullshit.

I think Kevin Sullivan and Iron Sheik could both do more than what is listed

[ukjeff]

Im at a loss as to all the doubts about these guys bench press claims.

OTH claims 500lb and no one bats an eyelid and these guys outmuscle and outweigh him by a mile.

right now, 500 pounds on the flat bench and 315 for 20 reps  

100lb in your face dumbell curls, 215 preacher curls

7 plates per side deadlifts

LMAO FUCKEN BRING IT

You guys make me laugh.

WHEN THE GOING GET'S TOUGH THE TOUGH GET UKJEFFED...

On the chalk board it looks like he's got the squat record in the gym, too. Sweet gym.

Big E is one thick mofo!

[Dago_Joe]

looking at him now it would hard to believe this guy pushed anything 

Still wider than Heath.

[tommywishbone]

 

[thebrink]

shit lex actually looked great at one point when he was thicker 

most of the guys in the 80's and 90's destroy any of the ones on tv today.
cant see cena standing out at all if he were around back then either.

most of the claims  on there are bullox but some of them are way under. im sure most on here know which those are.

[Rambone]

I once witnessed the Honky Tonk Man bench 750 pounds. He then curled 100 pound dumbbells in my face and squatted his pink Cadillac.

[Andy Griffin]

Mike Graham 440, Steve Keirn 425 are both bullshit.

as much fun as people made of the angle, those "Persian Clubs" were no joke

[BB]

Looks like a ton right? But it's only #245. The plates are the old Kraiburg super thick 25kg training bumpers, they're 5 - 6" thick.

.

I have seen Cena get into the low 400's on regular plates though.
