How much can you bench?

Good vid.

[Humble Narcissist]

Not as much as he can.

I like when weak people say, "I cant bench, my arms are too long", then 6'7" Magnus Samuelson comes out with his long gorilla arms and smokes everyone.

And when he snapped Nathan Jones arm (who outweighed him by 80 lbs and was a known dick-head at the event) that was pretty good. Of course Magnus went on to 'gas up" much more in weight later on.

I saw Ben White vs. Johnny Jackson in Rochseter NY......315 for a many as possible..........both got 21 good reps.

Magnus is a freak - he's also on the very small list of people who have closed the number 4 captains of crush hand gripper.

Yup, that's an amazing feat. No one's done it since 2004 it seems. Unless Randall hasnt keep up with this list.
He still looks good/stays on shape today. (Down-sized of course).

I've got #1-#3.  I can't even imagine closing a #4.

[Body-Buildah]

I never got the #3 closed, stopped trying

I never closed it, I just have it.

[Darren Avey]

21 reps with 315!!!!!
He should go to UFC. He'd beat everyone

[Body-Buildah]

21 reps is very strong.
My buddy did 23 reps with 315 (T-shirt and inzer elbow sleeves).

One of those barrel-chested guys with the skinny legs. Lifetime drug-free, doesnt even know what Superdrol is/was.
He doesn't follow any of that stuff.

Did 225 for 49 when I spotted him as well.  Freaks are out there.

I told him to jump on the sauce and start squatting, nahh, bench and cardio only.

Wes to answer you honestly - and given your lifelong passion for weight training, it's relevant - I'd simply say this: it's a thread about feats of strength, that's one of his, few have matched. And put even more simply - who cares about strength - well do you know of a single getbigger who wants to be weak?

[wes]

I hear ya.just had a bad week in all honesty.


I love feats of strength actually, as long as they are perfomed strictly with out a lot of the silly shit that goes on today like monolouifts,squat and deadlift suits ridiculoouly excessevive arching on the bench spotters helping the lifter or touching the bar etc. etc.

I know lots of folks  like this but to me it` not an indication of true strength.


My first love was AAU powerlifting......did about 7 or 8  meets and plenty of odd lift contests.

Never had a bad thing to say to or about Fortress and still dont so I`ll keep it that way even if he decides not to as I have always respected him and I still do.
