Was this filmed with a 4k camcorder?

Great video, Dorian level of graininess. You’re much bigger than 185 there.

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.

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

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

Do they ever stare up at you accusingly knowing that you let their friend get eaten?

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.

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
