    Huge Bench Press

    You gotta check out my training partner hit a raw PR 585 this past weekend... He missed 600 but I have a feeling that one will be going down real soon!!!

    Ya... I really think if we would of made the jump from 550 to 600 he would of nailed the 600. 585 was a PR so no regrets but I know it took a lot out of him. He will get it at his next meet for sure!!!

    Impressive lift and he looks to be in pretty good shape too. I cant stand it when big fatties move the bar 2 inches onto there fat guts and call it a lift. This is proper impressive benching!

    He would tell you he is a bit outta shape... LOL. His heart really is still into bodybuilding and trains that way most of the year. He has done bodybuilding shows in the past. He looked insane on the stage about 5-6 years ago.

    I agree, Im not impressed by the big fat guys , people like DocSust do, small guy lifts impress the shit out of me.


    Sic raw bench !!!!!! mAke sure you post up when he hits 600.

    I've got 99 problems......but my squat/dead ain't one !!

    It doesnt matter how good looking she is, some where, some one is tired of her shit.

    Light travels faster then sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    Great place to start researching ! http://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-s...-database.html

    Did you guys watch the video? This guy is in the 308 LBS (140kg for you Euro types) category… He is not a small guy…

    This is an awesome bench…. However it is not twice his body weight.

    And don’t get me wrong this is an awesome bench and I wish I was close to that kind of poundage… A few more years of training...

    yes,if i ever find a shirt that works for me again. but equiped press is much different from raw. my best raw press is 425. my best equiped in a meet is 575.

    He's not small that's for sure. but he weighed in at 280... he easily could of made the 275's just not that important to him.

    Thanx for the kind words bro. I'm actually recovering from a minor shoulder strain. should be at full bore in another week or so. I feel fully recovered from the pec tear (around 9 months ago) however, mentally I'm still holding back a bit on chest. Injuries come with the territory... just trying to train smart and heal up a bit... which is really much easier said then done when the only way I know how to train is heavy! LOL

    Man, I wish I could. It's just not in the cards for me this year. I've been doing that contest since '05... it's going to be strange not being there. Hold the fort down for me though... I see big things happening your way!!!
