Jerome LeBanner says the most he ever benched for a max was 353lbs. Get this though, Mighty Mo claims that when he was a defensive Lineman he was benching 575 and squatting 700 and thats how he got his nickname "Mighty Mo"
Jerome LeBanner only benches 353lbs. Kinda makes me think about what everybody else claims their bench press poundage to be. It does surprise me though because LeBanner is a very muscular man. Never been a fan of him though, can't take a punch. I'm not really a big fan of mighty Mo either. I've seen him fight a few times and I wasn't impressed. Apparently I'm also not that impressed with his physique, because I forgot what he looked like.
I'm not really sure what to think of Bob Sapp's strength claims. He also claims to be a natural, now I have an even harder time believing that! (The article in which he claims to be natural can be found at the metabolic diet website) On the other hand Bob Sapp may very well be a freak of nature, so maybe both of these claims are actually real. He does seem to have that Andre the Giant like quality that just radiates "genetic mutant". Let's be honest, when you first see Bob Sapp he looks a little different from other tall, really big men, such as WWE wrestlers. Almost as if his looks are actually in his genotype. So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
