impressive though...

I thought a flat back was required for this test of strenfs ? At least it used to be. Oh well...Impressive all the same.

Insane!!!

Wow. There's breaking a record, and then there's breaking a record. Sarychev's lift looked great, and he's looking very big, and a lot more solid than even a few months ago.

Unreal.

What's with the twinkie looking spotters though?

If his arm snaps he's pretty much dead/seriously injured right?

I know what you mean but it's still impressive like you said. Now it's the big inverted U bridge but I still give him props. Maybe a 650lbs bench press guy without the crazy arch?

Nice to see powerlifting move away from these cheat bench shirts and squat suits. Now if we can get the depth down on the current squats that are passed I might start liking power lifting again.

Can someone please explain to me how this works in terms of breaking records in the powerlifting world? It seems like every few weeks a new record is set. If there are MULTIPLE powerlifting federations, and each is claiming a world record, who is right? Its very disorganized. There should be ONE powerlifting federation, which houses all record holders. If you want to break a world record, you should be required to compete under that ONE federation. Since all powerlifting organizations have their own standards, its almost impossible to say who really does hold the world record for any lift.

Can someone please explain how the system currently works.

Just multiple federations that don't recognize each other. At least with boxing they have unification bouts for their undisputed champion of the world. In power lifting they have a raw federation, one that allows only certain bench shirts and one that allows anything like those strait jacket sling shot shirts where you see the crazy bench numbers.

That's why I'm a fan of Olympic lifting. You lift it over head or you don't. Many Gold medalist today don't even wear a lifting belt.

BB · « **Reply #14 on:** November 22, 2015, 09:24:13 AM »

Lol, I'm sure if you had a cleaner view of the side, that arch wouldn't be far off from other big lifters of the last 50 years. The guy is so thick it's hard to judge, I think he lifted in that meet at #380/173 lbs/kgs -

Thanks Obama for multiple powerlifting federations. He's probably behind it all!

Looked like a clean lift that will be respected by most, except a few anti-drug guys

All meets I competed it allowed an arch but your butt had to remain on the bench.

Here is an easy flat back 705.

And Spoto's 722 record from May-13 has fallen.

Thought wrong.

An arch has always been allowed. Butt and upper back has to remain in contact with the bench is all.

Anyone foolish enough to attempt to press huge weight who DOESN'T set up with a decent arch is begging for serious shoulder problems. You want the back pinched and the shoulders behind the chest to protect the shoulders.

If you don't know this, you don't know much about anything pressing-wise.

The all-time raw pressing record (not drug-free) is rarely broken, regardless of federation.

Only three men have claimed the title in the last, oh, dozen years.

Fortress · « **Reply #24 on:** November 22, 2015, 09:17:40 PM »

Now that that's cleared up, let me congratulate this man on his feat.

That press is absolutely faultless. It was smooth, even, no chest compression, and a powerful drive.

Seeing a human bench press that much weight boggles the knowing mind.

This man is a TRUE freak.

I'm just shaking my head ...
