    Who are you to say what is good looking and what is not? I guess you consider the bodybuilding look as good.

    Many people don't care for your favorite look friend.

    Wow...the crazy part is that it looks like he could actually lift more than that and the funny part is that the guy walks around like an action figure cause his cheast is so tight, lol.

    What is his raw bench;with out all the assistance from that shirt?

    No doubt the man is strong as hell, but IMO I don't believe he needs the help of a shirt you could pull a train with to show everyone he's as strong as hell. just my opinion.

    Does anybody know what the world record is for a raw bench.

    The raw bench record seems to vary very little over the years..

    yet the shirted record keeps increasing...

    1050 is an ungodly amount of weight yes, but getting 300+ lbs out of a forklift/shirt just is too much.

    how far did he press? maybe 6 inches. he is huge and its not from fat. outstanding for sure. was this a tested meet? i have a good bro who is a current world record holder in bp in his age and weight class. he lost his world record in dl to a guy from brazil in lv this last month(25 countries represented) but still holds the american record in it. anyway.....he claims 150lbs differance weight in his bp between shirted and raw.

    Definitely amazing because of the poundage...but I somehow feel that it's not a full press cause he moved the thing only a few inches...but either way...VERY VERY NICE!

    He must just hang out in the parking lot at the gym and throw cars around.

    I feel so weak, now.

    it's an amazing lift....

    The one issue that continues to arise is gear... you guys have to remember that as of late, not much has been brought in as far technology. The phenom and rage x for example, the two most popular bench shirts have been around for over 3 years now.. the only difference is that powerlifters are getting more familiar with them and they are getting stronger in the areas to better utilize the shirt.

    Powerlifters are still incredibly strong, yes gear does add a great deal of lbs to numbers but it's not just technology. there is a lot of work, time and effort put in in order for these things to happen.

    Kennely for example has been hitting the top numbers for a long time, first to hit 800, 2nd to hit 900, 3rd to hit 1000, and first to hit 1050, and from the looks of things first to hit 1100.. and it didn't happen overnight.. 2002 he hit 800, then 900 in 2006, 1050 in december 2007 but 50lbs heavier in bodyweight. The man is putting in his time in the gym...

    dont forget about a clark. he technically was the first to hit 800. there was always alot of controversy over this subject. do you know the history behind this? i truly dont

    gene has been hurt and had some health issues. mendelson actually just sucks. he bombs all the time in contests.he is never consistent. he lifts in his own meets. which can be a conflict of interest itself.i think his day has come and gone
