#9

Ben White
White excelled as a powerlifter specializing in the bench press before he earned his IFBB Pro League card by winning the 2007 USA Championships. In 2003, he bench-pressed 605 raw in the 275-pound class.

This is the ninth-best raw bench press of all time in a 275-or-lighter class. (Efferding’s 606.5 is No. 8.) That same year, he deadlifted 705 raw. Equally impressive as White’s one-rep bests are his high-rep barrages.

There’s a YouTube video of him bench-pressing 100-pound dumbbells for a preposterous 50 reps! White won a pro bodybuilding contest in 2010, but that’s about it. Even if he never qualifies for the Olympia again, he’ll still be one of the lightest men to bench-press 600 raw.

A strong bodybuilder is like a muscular powerlifter. It doesn't matter.

The world's strongest classically trained violinist is a more impressive title.

Beefy, you are not full of shit. I trained under Rory in the early 80's and i think the only BB that I met and trained with a few times that was stronger than Rory was Bertil Fox. Rory was incredible strong.

I've done that so it is possible, especially for a shorter man on a ton of drugs.  Platz was very strong on legs.  I have watched him train and while my inspiration was J.C. Hise, Platz is a worthy role model for those looking to get bigger and stronger via the squat.
