Man attempts to break all time raw bench press record with 725lbs

[Nails]

Haha what did i just watch?

Brutal equipment, massive build, more technical than a ninja and epic spotted 4 plate reps

Love him for going a quick second time. Delussionitis displayed at it's purest form.

he didn't even lift it an inch off his chest the first time, then he goes in a second time and it caves in his chest a few inches down 

[headhuntersix]

How come I haven't heard about the guy? Shame on me I guess.

Ted went to the same school I did...he must have hated it because we could never get him to come back and he was like hour and ahalf away.

[Mawse]

Shame he didn't tear a pec on the second attempt, or at least fracture a vertebra

here's hoping he tries it again

I trained with him a few times at Peps gym in MA (long gone) and have seen him a couple times in Manchester NH.

Yeah he went to Norwich....and I was on the powerlifting club there. I asked a couple of times if we could get him up there but somebody said he didn't do much with the school. I think at that time he had equipment or supps..or both under his name. The guy was a legend.

[The True Adonis]

Anyone who benches 700 raw is guaranteed to look like absolute shit.  Not that looking a certain way is what they care about.

Yes Peps gym, Ted talks about it once in a while. We go out to eat monthly at our favorite seafood place Peteys - Rye, NH). Ted's like family.
(We go to his yearly Xmas party with his whole extended family as well, talk about an Italian feast.. Ma' Don..).

Great guy and still looks excellent at 54. A pic from a month or two ago. Cropped myself out of course, Im short, fat, ugly

The spotters should have refused his second attempt.    The idiot could have killed himself.

[SF1900]

Eric Spoto benches 700 pounds raw. Starts at 2:35. And the delusional moron with the face paint thought he could bench 725 lol

[anabolichalo]

real bitter fat boy told me yesterday at the gymnasium

that elite bench pressers inflate their chests with saline injections to reduce ROM


i said sure that could be true


if it helps you sleep at nighht

Did you show him your guns?

This is Bench press : Doug Young

[Fortress]

With all sincerity, I probably laughed harder watching this video than I have watching/reading anything else, ever, on Getbig.

The delusional/retarded guy couldn't even hit one rep with 405 and he thinks he's got a shot at 725.

As another says, without the safety rails, "Beast" would likely have suffered life-threatening injuries. No joke.

"You got this, Beast!"

"Get it up, Beast!"

"He's got one more!"

   

[anabolichalo]

Did you show him your guns?

fat boy wears shirts with slogans

I DONT FLEX

I LIFT


and


I SEE WEAK PEOPLE


etc


thinks he is some sort of titan of strength and permabulk



..............


he tells me he thinks it's pathetic the dumbells only go up to 60kg

i ask, well how many times can you press em

he says

"i did 2 x 6 once"

fucking lol


weak son of a bitch, i can do them for 10 and i am not a fat ego lifting sack of smashed assholes of 125kilograms bodyweight

i didnt say that tho, my mama always said dont argue with insane people

[_aj_]

Good Lord, just watched this. What the fuck was that? The bar just fell on him.

[Henda]

Dumb attention whoring sack of shit, even if he actually pressed 405 x 2 himself that somehow equates to a 725 single? Fucking useless cu nt

This is Bench press : Doug Young

   

When I was a kid in Lubbock, Doug young was my hero. I used to see him working at the local sporting goods store. He was the strongest guy on the Tech football team with a bench of 360, as a 215 pound guard. Probably drug free at the time. 

[liquid_c]

At first I though they guy may be mentally ill.  However after a second look and watching him talk I think he is simply extremely delusional.   People always talk about bigorexia or whatever.  However I have seen lately a lot of the opposite.  I don't know a good name for it but it is people who look like a small gymrat and really believe they are huge and shredded and or much stronger than they actually are.

I notice this as well.

Like if gymrat can bench 225x8 then forecasts a 1RM of 405

Young was a beast. Just a mountain of a man. What was his personality like though ? Friendly guy ?

[old-school-lifter]

Arcidi made that look easy

he was an amazing bencher

is he still alive?

[oldgolds]

Strong, silent type, at least around me.
He had an intense look on his face. Huge neck.
I was a shotputter and at one of our meets a guy told me that Doug Young in high school had thrown the shot 60 feet at a body weight of 185...Phenomenal...

Obviously, a lack of makeup hampered his effort.
