1005 lb. Bench Press!
 

Not sure how many care, but yesterday (Sunday), a new world record bench press was set at 1005 lbs. by Gene Rychlak Jr.. Damn. This guy is Hella strong.

Vid! Just click on the picture of him (The dude in the flame beanie and sunglasses) and wait for it to load in the new window.

Crazy.

0.0 I can't believe it!! I can only bench 100lbs myself, and that's on a good day! Just think...this guy can lift half a ton...insane...

Hey, you're pretty strong for a girl! Stronger than some guys I know, actually...^_^

Wow, I just saw the video and thats very impressive.

I dont bench press, because I prefure to work on the smaller muscle groups. Right now I am working on my wrists, so I can improve my punchs and rakeing.

Eh, that was when I was in weight training class. There were plenty of girls that benched more than I could. I can still back squat about 120 though, I tested it out recently. I can probably only do around 85lbs. for the benching now though.

I still surprise people with how much I can lift though...I don't look strong really.

Still...it boggles my mind to see guys lift that much...I mean, damn. That guy could probably lift a car...

Damn, I can bearly bench 100 here. But I don't bench. I curl. And with that, its about 130 lbs. Nerds don't bench or curl. Or at least I don't.

I think the most I ever maxed at was 235. 300 was always my goal, but I've never reached it.

Holy crap. That's friggin' crazy. To think he could probably bench the entire chess club back in my high school.

If we're all posting our maxes here, I have to go with 225 on bench, 315 on squat, 190 on incline. It's crazy that someone can bench 1005 though.
