the 300lb bench club

[Man of Steel]

fixed it for you big guy

gracias! DOWN WITH WORST KOREA!!!

[local hero]

The 1st gym I trained at was a tiny council community centre, only a dozen odd lads trained there, we had two 400+ benchers, one of those guys did his own unique version of lateral raises with 80lb dbs too

There was a guy that did bent rows with 500lb and power cleans with 300..... Even all the big bodybuilding gyms I've been in, ive never seen anything like what I witnessed there, especially being such a small place, with so small a membership

I used to bent row regularly with 405 (I'd get 4-5 reps as a last set) and people thought that was insane....never done or seen 500lb bent rows live....only a video.

There are freaks out there I tell ya!!

He used to stand on a 4" block of wood to do this.... I could never fathom why, he said he just always did it that way?

greater stretch?  But with 500lbs I can't imagine a tremendous "extra stretch" happening.

[Hulkotron]

I actually believe you

my 500lb bench claim was ironic

I'm also joking, my best is only 405 for six.

ive done 405 for an unassisted 15

not sure I could do 500 for more than 4 though

Nah, they were performed brutally.....

[SuperTed]

Probably Mike Wolfe is the strongest getbigger. I think he has repped 600 pounds before. One of the funnier guys on here as well.

Him and Dewitt are the only legit +600lb raw benchers I can think of here.

Are there any others?

Lots of getbiggers benching more than a prime Ronnie Coleman.

Lots of guys bench more than a prime ronnie coleman.No suprise there,if you think cause he was a huge means hes stronger than everyone you would need to think again.Although i think ronnie die 500 for 5-6 i never did that so im not claiming stronger than ronnie.

I saw Glen Chabot hit a triple with 650 pounds like a hot knife through butter.


He did 722 at the Arnold Classic one year with a shirt.

I trained a number of times with Ted at Peps in Framingham MA. Coincidentally I would up working with his brother in a cardiac surgeon residents/fellow program. Both smart guys.

Ted was very helpful with technique.

I met Ted once in Springfield at Big Daddys Gym...........eons ago.


Dude was a beast.

No I sold medical products used in cardiac surgery (prosthetic heart valves). Ted's brother was the surgeon and believe me I never want to be one!

Yes one of the Paul brothers owned that one (Ron the father owned Framingham). I often trained with them and they were great squatters.

Too bad no gyms like that around any longer!  I suppose Metro Flex is a similar type but none to be found in the NE.
