I find this a great ego boost for myself really...i did 18 reps without a spot with 225 last night just to see. it's hard to believe a natural could even compete with these guys.

i also would like to see powerlifting done RAW but that won't happen. there is a guy at my gym who benches the same amount i do RAW and he's well over 500 with a shirt. i guess i should borrow his shirt and then maybe i'll have a 500 pound bench to brag about!!! awesome!!!!!!!

yeah but he's prolly training the shit out of his triceps with heavy lockouts, close-grips, extensions, dips, etc., you cant just put a shirt on and bench more instantly.

he trains very similar to myself...i've never seen him do lockouts and i see him almost every sunday training bench. he could do them another day though.

Um, 15 reps with 225 is definitely not "weak". That would probably put his max bench at around 370 lbs. I bet most of you punks couldn't bench 275.

Also, Jim Williams never benched 700.

I think you will find he did, unless of course, you are refering to another jim williams and not the rather strong golly to which we refer?

yes he did in 1972 at York Barbell in front of nearly the whole Olympic weightlifting team.

The greatest ever benchpresser IMO, was Big James Henderson. He competed raw against shirted guys in IPF. Still was the best and broke world records.

I have great respect for Mendy though.

Did anyone who watched the O on PPV, see the highlights of the Gakic contest? Is it just me, or was Jeramy Freeman only doing 1/4 reps? I've seen some half assed reps, but his take the cake.

onlyme · « **Reply #85 on:** October 17, 2005, 03:17:09 PM »

Does anyone have the video of Kaz doing 50 reps with 405. Unreal. And these were full reps too not 1/2 reps. This is one of the most amazing bench exphibitions ever I think. How did he look at the show. A few of my friends said hi for me.

brianX · « **Reply #86 on:** October 17, 2005, 03:36:26 PM »

Jim Williams never did 700 in competition. Also, I'm pretty sure he used elbow wraps.

Why are you always name-dropping Kaz? You always have to bring him up.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!

50 reps? 405lbs?

Are you sure about those numbers man? You sure it was four plates (405) and not three plates (315)?

50 reps with 315 lbs would be damn near impossible IMO, but maybe Kaz or you could do something like that. But 405 lbs... That's just too much weight for 50 reps.

BTW, I am not calling you a liar, just wanting to make sure it was 405lbs/50reps.

As far as what I meant by well over is that I am truly not sure what my max raw bench is. I know i am over 600 by alot mid six's to 700 if i was guessing. See why do you guys still need to be bashing me. Did you not read my post at all, i did say that I was planning on competing raw and I agreed the shirts have gotten ridiculous. You dont think bodybuilding has not gotten out of hand with it going FREAK STYLE!!!! Hell half the guys are walking around with solid ass bloated bellys that stickout further then my fat gut. What happened to symetrical pleasing looking bodys. Hell those guys are so doped up now it aint even funny. I know drugs run rampant in powerlifting but I mean damn come on guys. How about SYNTHOL is that not as CHEATING as a benchshirt is in Powerlifting. Oh hell I dont need to work these tris and delts I can put gravy in them and look big as a house. That is just as relavent as me putting on a benchshirt and benching 825. Come on guys it aint one sided here there is shit happening in your sport also that is just like strapping ROCKET BOOSTER to a runners shoes. Dont be so damn 1 sided take a long deep look at your sport before you bash mine. I am on this page because I knew it would be the best resource to a sport that I love but dont take part in and all I get is my ass jumped for it. GROW UP Guys!!!! All I wanted to do was add my point of view. And incase you guys dont know MENDELSON is the man!
715 raw in a contest with a pause and 915 in a shirt in a contest. BOTH ARE WORLD RECORDS!!!!! Wolfy!!!!

Mirz · « **Reply #90 on:** October 17, 2005, 06:15:12 PM »

i totally agree with you wolfman!

gene is the valvolino of powerlifting. combined, they are the epitome of retarted...ness.
and i guess by your own reasoning, you are the heiko kallbach of your sport hahaha, good for you!

skimming through your posts it seems the most you have done is 600 for a triple. so until you press your "um almost probly very close to 700 raw", YOUR RAW LIFT IS 600.

bigbadwolfe · « **Reply #91 on:** October 17, 2005, 06:19:42 PM »

Mirz thanks for agreeing both sports have there ups and downs.But someone please tell me is a 600 pound raw bench bad? If all I ever bench raw is 600 well I think that is pretty damn good.How many others on here can do 600 raw? Wolfy!!!!!

That is damn good, have you ever competed before? "Raw" of course dont wanna get people flustered again! Wolfy!!!!!

You need some grain of salt, or perhaps a jar of salt, when reading Bi G Man.

Just a little friendly tip man...

BIG G MAN · « **Reply #96 on:** October 17, 2005, 06:33:34 PM »

ive never used a shirt before.. when i first started working out i had a 455 bench within the first few months probably cause i was so fat, ive never competed, ive never really had any intrest to, i will if i get my bench up high enough to break records or come close.

bigbadwolfe · « **Reply #97 on:** October 17, 2005, 06:45:56 PM »

No offense but I now know what I would look like if I was a black man. Hairy chest, glasses etc etc. Like I said no offense but I am laughing right now cause that shit is funny. Hold on i'll post a pic of me so they can laugh at us together.

bigbadwolfe · « **Reply #98 on:** October 17, 2005, 06:48:05 PM »

Let the bashing begin!!!!!!

Croatch · « **Reply #99 on:** October 17, 2005, 07:06:51 PM »

Good bench for sure. Anyone who benches 500 for reps, is pretty strong period. At least you post a shot though, unlike most of the pussies who talk shit on this site. If you have no pic posted, you should really shut your piehole.
Croatch on...
