OMG. The most impressive lift i've seen after training for 4 or so years here in London, at a variety of gyms, is a bench press of 7/8 reps on 315. I saw someone attempt a 485 deadlift once though. He failed.

Maybe i'm going to the wrong gyms?

Tom Prince doing a 365 lbs military press, for several reps, on Gold's in 1997. Magnussen leg pressing 1800 lbs at Power Gym in Miami, in 1998. These were the two most impressive lifts I've seen, in person.

This guy used to go to my gym, maybe 6-6'2" - 260 is what he claimed to weigh (looked to be all upper body, always baggy pants)

He would rep out 365 on the incline bench for several sets. After mid 400's on flat bench for sets. He would then finish with wide gripped chinups and take a leisurely walk around the indoor perimeter track. No flexing or talking shit, just come in and hammer out the same workout twice a week, occasionally would see him doing leg extensions and low rows but not often. Big as a house up top.

How about the day BDB entered the gym doing backflips, knocked out 350 reps of 900+ lbs upright rows, then exited the gym by backflips.

Are the traps and deltoid caps beefing up man? How about tricep kickbacks what you got on them?

I know this is some redneck shit, but I saw a guy pick up a Dana 60 front end with tires on it, clean and throw it for a bet at a garage when I was in high school.

I didn't have a cherry picker so I picked up the engine out of a diesel rabbit one time.

big fat hoss I used to train with used to do 315 seated overhead for 5+ reps, fullrange of motion and total control - AFTER doing about 20 sets of laterals and DB pressing

guy would pause 405 for reps on the incline like it was a feather. Looked terrible but amazing strength
