According to this dude

Bullshit

I think we all should take the Paki's word for it
-
bullshit no way he did, elite boxers do not bench press
-
NOT !!!!
-
bullshit no way he did, elite boxers do not bench press
When Mike Tyson was in his prime he only did push-ups. He still trained much like the old school boxers. It was in jail when he started weight training such as bench press.
Holyfield was trained by Lee Haney to increase his lean weight from Cruiser Weight to Heavy Weight and did use weights and bench press. He didn't run though and used the stationary bike.
-
Holyfield was a unit. If one boxer did bench that I'd be more inclined to believe it was him.
-
If a 160 lbs Matt C. can bench 315 for 15 I'm sure a 220 lbs Evander Holyfield could bench 375.
;D
-
He did train with Lee Haney.

Bulllshit,I`ve personally seen Ben White and Johnny Jackson both bench against each other and they both got 20 - 21 reps or so with a mere 315 pounds.......Rochester N.Y. mid 2000`s.
Holyfield was much lighter than both of these IFBB pros who were known for their strength and were obviously using gear.
Holyfield trained with weights, but there`s no way he could bench that much for 12 fucking reps.....use your head.

If you count the chain, it's #265ish for a few a couple of years ago -

Article from when he was gearing up for Tyson -
"A year ago, when Holyfield began his run for Tyson's title, he could bench-press 190 pounds. "Today he's 33 percent stronger than he was last year," says Tim Hallmark, Holyfield's physical-fitness guru. "He does 10 repetitions with 360 pounds after his pulse rate has risen to 180 or 190 beats per minute"
Holyfield had high quality help during that run, and I'm sure he was probably one of the stronger boxers in the game, but not #360 x 12 strong. The one caveat is maybe if it was a machine press. Lots of that in Boxing.
-
"translates to a 525 pound max bench".....that`s even dumber......GEEZUS.....g ive me a break.
Great boxer though.....a true legend.

I agree with you.
I don't believe either of the claims I posted are remotely realistic.

Yup, no way in hell "Real-deal" did that.
Met him at a Strongman dinner w/ Dennis Rogers (Dennis brought him) Holyfiled told us he didnt lift heavy.

Agree with this. It's not a stretch to think Holyfield could rep out 12 x 375.
-

;D
At 170, I have done 315x8.
I don't doubt Holyfield could lift maybe 375...but I find 525 hard to believe. 525 is a big claim.
-
I’d believe 275 for 12.

You did it bit we all have different attatchments,genetics,training styles and goals.....your priority was/is strongman...his was boxing....you do the math.
I imagine his first priority was boxing and used the weighs as an adjunt to his boxing workouts.
At any rate I saw Jackson and White benching in person...if I see Holyfield on video doing 375 for 12.....I`ll retract my statements but it would be impossible to film since there`s no way he did it in the first place.
He`s not a better bencher than Johnny Jackson who also was a powerlifter and Ben White was well known for his benching prowess as well.

I stand corrected!

-
If I see the video of Holyfield doing it....fine,...until then it`s bullshit....beisdes he didn`t say it someone else did.....does that fuck realize what it takes to bench that much weight.....very doubtful,plus what gives him credibilty?
Bob Chic is one of many people who was there on that day in Rochester MC`ing so that`s just one of many people that can verify what I said.
-
It was probably 375 on a Smith machine or chest press machine, aka nowhere near a 375 for 12 set on flat bench
Holyfield started off as light heavyweight which is 175lbs so he definitely did some lifting/juicing to get up to heavyweight but no way he did an elite press like that
-
Evander Holyfield benched 375lbs for 12 clean, controlled reps. Move on.

I agree. When I said I could believe Holyfield bench presses 375, I meant for a single rep.
Even that's damn strong, especially for a boxer.
Did you say that Ben White and Johnny O. Jackson only hit 315 for 20-21 reps?
What will Getbig say when I post a clip of me hitting 315x15?
Will that shut up my haters?
-
Yup, 20-21 reps thereabouts at least....not quite certain as there was a lot going on and I had to concentrate on my contests.
-
Don't boxers avoid training chest too hard so it doesn't interfere with their punching? Most boxers I see have undeveloped chests and big shoulders and lats.

Depends, some are doing low weight (50-60% 1rm) speed work now and heavy band stuff. A lot of regular type lifting gets done when they need to go up a class.
Holyfield when they wanted him to get bigger for Tyson, got sent to Fred Hatfield and Lee Haney. Likewise, when Buster Douglas was training for Tyson he got sent Doug Heath, who was a high level powerlifter of the time.

Yeah, it's all suspect until we see the video. On some boxing board years ago someone claimed the Shane Mosley could bench 300. I asked on machine or barbell, and the response was, "what difference does it make?" Idjits.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha ha
Not. A. Frickin’. Chance.

I've done 365 lbs for 11 reps back in the day, I was 185 lbs

^ With every other Getbigger lying, maybe I need to start lying too, to keep up?
The best 185-lb bencher in my city bench pressed 385-lb in the gym, and 365-lb in contest.
You didn't bench press 365-lb for 11. But fuck, with everyone lying, I guess I benched 315x15 already.

English is only a second lanuage to Pamith. What he meant to say was that the biggest guy's cock he ever sucked was a 365lb black man's 11" cock while Pamith was only tipping in at 185 himself.

Ty bro, also back in those days I took prohormone (1 AD) so I wasn't exactly natty :(

I stand correcred...my apologies.
That`s a ton of weight for a guy weighing just 185 lbs.....nice going my nikka.

Lmao I stand corrected ;D

Very impressive

Impressive.

I think he confused his 12-rep max with his one-rep max.
-
Was this filmed with a 4k camcorder?
Great video, Dorian level of graininess. You’re much bigger than 185 there.

Sorry guys but the math works out here. A 33% increase in strength after one year benching 190 is 375 for 12. Nothing to argue about

LOL, this is amazing. Pamith's YouTube channel is just a bunch of clips filming a cockroach being eaten alive and a stack of muscle magazines. He's everything I imagined he was. Getbig hero.

Ty bro, yes I'm a mess just like all of you, lol
-

Ty bro, but i wasn't exactly natty back then. I'm natty now though, if that makes sense
-
Impressive.
Ty bro, I got short arms though and long torso, which helps, plus i used a ton of leg drive and possibly lifting my butt off the bench. Oh shoot you were talking about my squat, tbh I use a very wide stance and I try to reach parallel but I lack the flexibility but in my mind it counts, lol. My deadlift is weak though, I'm trying to bring it up

Tbh some dude videotaped it with his phone back then, then sent it to my email and I somehow managed to save the file and post it on youtube. I was 28 yrs old back then if I'm not mistaken, I'm 45 yrs old now, Idek what I bench now, I concentrate more about bodybuilding now rather than just ego lifting, but without the 1AD and the ephedrine I'm definitely weaker now
-
Butt arch off bench....Bounce...roids. ...phony/fake

If you were truly 185 there, that's an amazing lift.
Something is suspicious. The record in my city for 185-lb body weight is 365 in contest, and 385 in the gym.
There was a 180-lb lifter who hit 405 in contest in 2006, and hit 455 in contest at 205. That's probably close to the Canadian record.
So your video is still suspect. Benching 405 is one thing, but benching 405 at 185-lb is another matter entirely - let alone for reps.
-

Bro..
this makes me kinda sad...

Dude lives in Joes apartment. In the Army my training partner was short and about 190lbs and he managed 425lbs for a rep. Of course, there is a difference between a paused competition rep and a gym rep like Pamith video but still multi reps with 405lbs is strong bouncing with a super wide grip or not

I find a wide-grip more difficult, though I know it reduces the range of motion but the flared elbows also put more stress on the pecs and for my shoulders as well.

Tbh I was on ephedrine, Idk if you remember but ephedrine can make some people have crazy strength, plus I was exploding, touch and go, using a ton of leg drive and most likely lifting my butt off the bench. Competition lifts are usually a lot more strict with a pause and everything

Tbh I wasn't exactly natty back then, I was on 1 AD and ephedrine, so deep inside I feel like it doesn't count

It counts, but I don't believe you were 185.
And if you were 185, you'd be at least a state level bench presser.
Have you competed? If so, how did you do? If not, why didn't you compete?
