The 635 lbs military press is BS of course.
If DuVall has incline benched 635 lbs in a smith machine, he's a monster nevertheless.
But when stuff like the 635 lbs military smith press is claimed, I consider it not only BS, but also disrespectful of those who are the strongest in the world, and who don't BS.
I know neither Sandvik, Svensson, Leto or any of the other top benchpressers in IPF are even remotedly close to military pressing 635 lbs in a smith machine.
And I seriously doubt Savickas or Rezazadeh would be able to do it either. These two have more powerful shoulders than anyone I've seen.
Credit to DuVall for not fearing the discussion, and inviting sarc.

I agree with you, Hedgy. I am sick and tired of the MuscleTech corporation and how, through deceit and dishonest advertisement, it has completely taken over bodybuilding. I remember the time when the biggest names were EAS, Weider and TwinLab, and how Guy Gardner managed to transformer his Canadian operation into the complete ruler of bodybuilding, to the point where even the Olympia is sponsored by MuscleTech. Their before and after ads are obvious, but extremely well-crafted, extremely eloquent lies to sell their supplments: by manipulating words and scientific data for the un-educated, Gardner has become a gazzilionaire. This truly pisses me off, because most bodybuilders are poor and uneducated, so they are hopeless against Gardner taking away their little hard-earned money. In fact, even Getbig.com is sponsored by MuscleTech, which shows this Company's power. I hate them for the liars they obviously are, and for how they have turned all of bodybuilding into their personal circus freak show.
