Title: Bob Sapp strength claims
Post by: Scimowser on March 20, 2006, 09:40:52 AM
OK, at his biggest hes 6"4, 375lbs with abs (officially). He said that at his peak he could do:

close grip bench with no shirt - 595lbs
deadlift - 800+ for 3 reps

thats some serious fukkin weight, but is it accurate? He sure as hell has the size............

Jerome LeBanner says the most he ever benched for a max was 353lbs. Get this though, Mighty Mo claims that when he was a defensive Lineman he was benching 575 and squatting 700 and thats how he got his nickname "Mighty Mo"

How close the grip is a matter of interpretation.  It could have been shoulder width, which in fact would be considered a medium grip press.  Some people are stronger with a medium grip vs.  a regular grip.

Jerome LeBanner only benches 353lbs. Kinda makes me think about what everybody else claims their bench press poundage to be. It does surprise me though because LeBanner is a very muscular man. Never been a fan of him though, can't take a punch. I'm not really a big fan of mighty Mo either. I've seen him fight a few times and I wasn't impressed. Apparently I'm also not that impressed with his physique, because I forgot what he looked like.
I'm not really sure what to think of Bob Sapp's strength claims. He also claims to be a natural, now I have an even harder time believing that! (The article in which he claims to be natural can be found at the metabolic diet website) On the other hand Bob Sapp may very well be a freak of nature, so maybe both of these claims are actually real. He does seem to have that Andre the Giant like quality that just radiates "genetic mutant". Let's be honest, when you first see Bob Sapp he looks a little different from other tall, really big men, such as WWE wrestlers. Almost as if his looks are actually in his genotype. So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I think it was that kick to the liver.  The left hook wasn't necessary.  You could tell by the pain on his face it was the liver shot that caused it.  A shot to the face would KO the guy, not make him wither around in pain. That can only be a body shot and direct hit to the liver.  The pain is unbearable.

Bob Sapp CAN do what he says. Just a few years ago, he used to be trained by Bill Gillespie (former UW, then Seattle Seahawk strength coach) Bill currently hold the WABDL Masters world record drug free bench press record....800...age 45. Sapp has obviously decided to go the "other route". With that said, yes......375 lbs of muscle can easily close grip 595.

Bullshit. Guy's who have to claim for this and that can't usually prove those claims. Guy's who have the real potential for those claims, just show how it is done. So simple. You can talk what ever you like, but only showing what you can do you can prove something...  ::) :o ;D
Title: Re: Bob Sapp strength claims
Post by: CT on March 22, 2006, 06:05:24 AM
Sapp's close grip isn't really a close grip press... more like an "intermediate" grip (shoulder width).

"Bob usually benches using a narrow grip. That's because with his relatively long arms, and massive triceps and delts, he can move more weight and gets more of an effect going narrow as against going wide with his grip."

Tyson didn't challenge him. It was Sapp who challenged Tyson and Tyson wouldn't have stood a chance in an MMA match against him in his present old age. I personally believe the guy's strength claims. Anyone who has seen Sapp in person, like me, will realize that this guy is a freak of nature. Hell, his bones probably weight 150lbs, more than half the fruits who post here. The man is a freak, and for a guy who is almost 400lbs of bone and muscle, why is a near 600lb bench so unrealistic, especially with gear. I've seen videos of college football players sub250 deadlifting in the 750lb range and benching 400-500lb. add another 125lb and it doesn't seem that far fetched.

You clearly are another mma fag. Tyson would'a torn Sapp to pieces! I got that video and just by the way Tyson was behaving he already had Sapp beat!

There's too many variables here.

I don't what he cycles or how good his genetics are.

I don't know how good his form is, if those are sloppy reps or regulation reps.

Check the current world bench records......the 165 class and up (181,198,220,242,275,308,supers) ALL bench over 600...actually 665 is the record at 165. 242 and up is over 800. 4 guys have bench pressed over 900 and 2 have gone over 1000 in OFFICIAL competition. SO.............a 375 pound monster such as Sapp can push 595 quite easily. Get informed before you spout off.

Bullshit. Nobody in the 165, 181, 198, or 220 classes has ever benched 600 without equipment. We're talking about raw lifts, since it's unlikely someone like Sapp would be using a bench shirt.

no he doesn't, the only ones he weighs twice as much as is the 165'ers, maybe, and i would even doubt that, i would put his weight at around 315-320.

He weighed 300 in college while at the University of Washington. He dwarfs his former self. I played football at UW with him.
Yes......the current bench record holders wear bench shirts, which I do not like. I have competed in the USAPL/ADFPA, wearing a single ply shirt, which does help a certain percentage, but not like the 2 and 3 ply shirts many of the open record holders wear. Regardless......why is it so hard for some of you guys to believe that he weighs over 315 or can semi-close grip bench press 595? Have you EVER been around genetic freaks and/or elite athletes? While nearly everything seems to be exaggerated these days.....Sap is a true genetic freak. Some of you genetic pukes out there just don't get it.

i also read that he was advised to get into MMA by one of his football coaches or someone to do with football, because he had the biggest arms in the division. They were said to be around 25-26"

no he doesn't, the only ones he weighs twice as much as is the 165'ers, maybe, and i would even doubt that, i would put his weight at around 315-320.

That sounds about right.

Seems like everyone on this forum take everything to extremes.

A guy weighs over 300lbs, so he is automatically pushing 350lbs....

He's actually 6'5, usually weighs around 165 - 170 kgs when he's not fighting. One big mofo, dwarfs most anyone who stands next to him.

He often trained at the same jiu jitsu club and gym as me in Tokyo and usually went easy, real easy. Couple 3 minute rounds practicing take downs and he was fucked. In the gym he never went heavy and often talked about how he used to lift this and push that.

Hard to doubt him though coz he's a fuckin tank and anything he says, people just nod their heads.

I never see him anymore since he's a big celeb now and training with Sam Greco..

When you are that large and strong, it doesn't matter if you tire out in 3 min.  Who in their right mind would challenge him to a fight in RL?

Remember, he only has to land one bomb to make you sleep.  Like Tyson in his prime.

That's not a risk many people are willing to take outside of a kickboxing ring.

Just look at the photo of the two........Ronnie and Bob. Even if Ronnie is in contest shape in the photo, he would be atleast 275-280. Sapp DWARFS him. I like Bob.....he is freakin' hilarious as well as monstrous. I just hope he doesn't eventually pay the ultimate price for being that big.

Did you see Sapp on Jay Leno.  He was great.  He can talk and he is funny.  And he is huge.  I like the guy.  And on the flip side you had Ronnie on Jay Leno.

Jeff Magruder has bench pressed 600@242 raw

He did 595 raw. I think it's funny that people think Sapp should easily be able to bench the same weight because he's so big. Lots of big guys are weak as shit.

Mike MacDonald went over 600 several times @ 220

Wrong, he did around 585 in the 220 class, which is still a world record to the best of my knowledge.

and 242 raw and was close @198. This was 20 years ago.

Get informed!!!

My original post is still accurate. MacDonald was the only man under 250 lb to bench 600 in a sanctioned contest. A very, VERY small number may have done 600 in training.

OWNED.

The ultimate price.........from AAS use/abuse?

From what I've seen, the ultimate price is looking old and used up.......see Dorian for an example.  He looks to be about 10-15 years older than he is. 

Most bodybuilders have died from diuretic abuse which has nothing to do with AAS.  Only an ignorant bodybuilder would risk death via Lasix when there are safer potassium sparing diuretics on the market.

Only a bodybuilder.....

To a degree that's true.  The arterial walls thicken, though to what degree that affects long term cardio health is unknown.  That is what cardio is for. 

Do your cardio and you lessen the chances of longterm complications.

..so, what's your point?

He fights ina ring with rules... stamina is a big part of fighting, hence his very average record

I think you are wrong Julian Lee of Honolulu did 616(?) at a body weight of just over 200 in competition.  Francis Silva at 220 did 606 or something like that.  I can't remember his name but wasn't there a guy who did 600 at 198.  there are 3 or 4 guys who live here who have done 3 times their bodywight in competiton.  I am pretty sure if I took roids and wore a shirt back when I did 500 at 247 I could have done 600 at sub 250.

Bob Sapp vs The Smashing Machine Mark Kerr if he made a serious return what a fight.
As i have said Bob Sap kills.

You have obviously not seen Mark Kerr lately  :P.
