Why?

It's legit the cleanest best bench ever. Next after the russian Kirill Sarychev. If the Iranian had legs he would probably bench 720+

Those paralympics lifts are judged to the highest standards too.

I've seen similar lifts (might have even been this one) get failed by one of the 3 judges

LOL @ one of the three judges failing this.  Please.

Then again, 2 of 3 judges gave Georges St-Pierre round one against Johny Hendricks in UFC 167.  :-\ :-X

Seriously.  If that's a red light, what the fuck does it take to get a green?  Hold it 1mm above your eye balls for 5 full seconds and then press? lol

I saw Glen Chabot in my hometown of Springfield Mass, do a triple with 650..........perfect form.............Dave Mastorakis was with me.

He did 722 with a shirt at the 2001 Arnold Classic.

Kirill Sarychev and Julius Maddox are probably the two most impressive benchers.  However, neither one of them could do 683, without their feet on the ground.  This Iranian is on a different level.  Plus, no lift off?  

Kirill arches is back, essentially making his flat bench, a decline bench.  Julius rests the bar on his chest, and then does a little, "bunny hop" to get the bar started again.  Plus, both of them use spotters for the lift off.

If you notice it's also much harder to stabilize that much weight after lift off without having your feet on the ground.

Ahhh shit   :-[  When I watched him get back in his chair, I immediately thought 'he probably won't be around too long', then saw the last posts. Hell of a mark to leave though and by the look on his face, I'm glad he was able to attain that personal triumph.

Was the 722 with a shirt a typo, wes?

722 with a shirt is strong, of course, but for a guy who tripled 650-lb, I would think he could do much more than 722 with a shirt!  I would think 650 for a triple would be close to 722 for a one rep max.  Maybe not quite, but...you'd think he'd be close to a 700 bench presser even without a shirt!

Did you mean 922, by chance?
