Tank made this video as proof of his bench. He chose a small spotter that couldn't even rack that weight so nobody could claim it's not all him. It's real.

He has a history degree, and he was also the first person to use gloves to protect his hands. He might be an animal, but he's not that dumb either.

Did someone say fake plates?



I brought this point up on MD and got ROASTED!

Those plates are real my friend.  They are Olympic plates though so its not as much as you think.  I think the last set is about 200 at the most.  Kara is actually quite strong as well.

That eventually was settled, yes, but initially people were chopping me up under the assumption that is was 400lbs +/-!

Tank sucks on the ground. He's too stubborn to move beyond his current game. He's not very fast with his punches either - but if he connects it's lights out.  ;D

i think its been confirmed on another site that some of those weights were fake.

they also showed him doing upright rows with 315.




No big deal. Jaejonna handles that weight. ;)

also, if he really could bench 600 he wouldnt haven been thrown around so easily by belfort and severn. 

I don't think Tank being able to bench 600 equated to his fighting skills. He tire VERY easily. He couldn't wrestle a lick. All he could do was punch. Vito could punch and could move. Severn could wrestle.

Yes the footage is real, bounce or no bounce it's a lot of freaking weight.......yes, you are right about Tank.......I've said it before, he's been 86'd out of just about every bar in Huntington Beach. His problem was he liked to train heavy and had to convince him that kind of training wasn't condusive to UFC fighting!


Didn't you bench 600 at 181 pounds? You blow Tank away pound-for-pound!

He is defintiely built for it.

Yup, He had short arms and a barrel chest. Not much of a range of motion.

Tank was NEVER the man in MMA, he had a good rep as a street fighter and its still beyond me how he managed to get his "Legend" status. His record is pathetic and hes had a shit load of quck victories against him.

Don Frye, Vitor, Paul Buentello, Kimo (ha ha ha!!!) and Frank Mir have finished him in around 2 minutes or under

I think his "legend" status stems from his 200+ victories in his bare knuckle fighting days.

yeah agreed, Kara is strong as hell.


People not familiar with bumper plates would see it as 45's on there which definitely isnt the case. So, Real weight just not as much as he thought
