One of the highlights of the Arnold Classic 98 was the "bench press" challenge by Jimmy"Iron Bull" Pellechia.Ronnie Coleman took up the challenge and benched 225 pounds for a total of 79 reps as compared to jimmy's 59 reps!Even more impressive is the fact that Ronnie put in a heavy chest workout just a day before at World Gym.I watched him do incline bench press with 6 plates for 8 reps followed by benches with 8 plated for 8 reps.This effort had to have weakened him somewhat for the bench press contest the next day.You cant trully appreciate the size and shape of Ronnie Coleman unless u meet him in person.

Ronnie is superhuman. Period. Granted he has a gut and all... but in the grand scheme of things, we are probably looking at one of the most massive and naturally gifted human beings we'll ever see in our lifetime.

I think Alexxx is more gifted

i believe the 79 reps that Coleman did with the 225 but i think when it says "six plates on inclines" i think it means 6 plates total because there is no fucking way that Coleman or anyone else did 585 on inclines for reps or 765 on flat benches for reps.

Stavios · « **Reply #4 on:** March 28, 2006, 08:35:20 AM »

well if the guy mean 6 plate total it isn't really impressive for ronnie

315 for 8 rpes on the day of or before a contest is pretty damn good no matter who you are all things considered but there ain't no fuc.king way that he inclined even close to 585 for a single let alone 8 reps so it has to be 315.

i believe everything except the deads and squats, i would have to personally see that and probably load the weight myself to believe that.

if Ronnie did full reps there they were a hell of a lot different than his videos where he goes all the way to his chest but only comes half way up.

I am watching ronnie's "on the road" dvd right now, he is doing full reps, really good form but he use no where near the poundages he is using in his 2 other dvd.

I was there and saw this 1st hand. Ronnie did full reps, w/o a warm up and could have kept on going.

Jimmy took about 30 minutes to "psyche up", got some wacky 80's hair band music blasting to "pump up" and eneded doing did half reps. I think he was wearing a bench shirt too...

i just cant believe this "assisted fork lift" pellachia bullshit guy is still around...

do you remember this 2000lb benches

he's right up there with valvalino

It's almost as if he's not human. Ridiculously BIG and STRONG!

ronnie did not compete at the 98 arnold.

i'm pretty sure the guy means total plates, not per side. its pretty obvious.

Ronnie's the one in a million guy who was born with amazing potential and fully realized it.

followed by benches with 8 plated for 8 reps.

Yea right. Did he mean 4 plates each side? He probably benches 500lbs for 8 and when he's over 300lbs in the offseason.

Even more impressive is the fact that Ronnie put in a heavy chest workout just a day before at World Gym.

This is also bullshit.

The natural Jamaican lifter deadlifting 765 is a good joke too. hahah

If only Ronnie would'a learned something about symetry.... than he'd be the greatest mr. Olympia!

brianX · « **Reply #22 on:** March 28, 2006, 10:00:54 AM »

What's so great about Ronnie benching 405 for 8 reps? Getbig's own "onlyme" did 23 reps with that weight. There is a 210 lb guy on the Monster Muscle Forum (Gunny Green) who can do 405 for 15+ reps.

OMG, I can't believe how much some people lie and expect us to believe this. This is a blantant lie. The 79 reps with 225 is unlikely but possible. However in the COR video, he benches flat 495 for about 5 half reps and struggles with the 6th rep. That does not equal out to 79 reps on 225. It doesn't even remotely come close to = reps on the incline with 585 and it obviously doesn't equal 765 for 8 reps. That would make Ronnie Coleman make Scott Mendleson look like a little girl literally and would put Ronnies max 1 rep raw bench somwhere in the mid to high 800's.
