**firmechicano831** · 05-20-2006, 12:44 AM

**ProtienShak3** · 05-20-2006, 01:05 AM

wow those are some awesome spotters

**chest6** · 05-20-2006, 02:14 AM

seen the video a million times but never found out..who knows?

**Fletch3138** · 05-20-2006, 04:34 PM

Wow, that looked pretty painful. Damn!!

**Tren Bull** · 05-20-2006, 04:40 PM

haha, i remember back in the day i was doing incline press in my room and the 50 pound plate fell off the barbell and bounced off the edge of my desk leaving a huge gash in it, then it hit my sheatrock wall and knoked a fat hole in that too. haha, i always secure the plates on my barbells now.

theres things such as 50 lb plates?

**stunner5000pt** · 05-20-2006, 04:42 PM

it sounded like a few ribs got broken there

awesome spotters... then again... its kinda hard to slow 500lbs+ from falling down

**USfighterFC** · 05-20-2006, 04:46 PM

Isnt that the same fat bastard who tried to break the bench press record at Mr. Olympia and failed. I think he owns the record too doesnt he?

yea. there not olympic style plates though. i got the bfco 50s with the 1 inch diameter hole. im pretty sure it would be hard to find a 50 pound plate for the olympic size 2 inch hole

the guy who attempted at the Olympia was Gene Rychlak with 1005lbs
I think Scot Mendelson owns that record now with 10008lbs

In the video it's Steve Wong and it was his 832 lb bench press attempt. It was his second attempt.

he survives and actualyl does his third attempt with the same weight and is successful. The third attempt

Very interesting. Before I read your post I was gonna say it looked like he was attempting at least 25-50 pounds too much weight but guess I was wrong. Yeah, that looked painful as shite.

So he can bench his own weight.......I'm not impressed.

**firmechicano831** · 05-20-2006, 05:58 PM

I don't know if I would try it again after what happend the first time.

**l2elapse** · 05-20-2006, 06:00 PM

i saw this once and on the top it said " weight lifter pissed off spotters before meet and they get him back" or something along those lines

haha yea i agree. lifting is supposed to be mostly for looking good. this dude is fu_kin fat as hell. if i were him, id be more concerned with doing sit ups than my max on bench

**firmechicano831** · 05-20-2006, 07:58 PM

lol, that shit is funny. The next challenge is going to be if he can see his feet while hes standing straight.

thats nothing... Jeff Lewis - the guy who holds the world record for squat of 1212 lbs is 6'3" 540 lbs
I almost fainted when i read that

also, powerlifting is supposed to be about how much weight you can push and not a beauty contest
so who cares how fat they are! They pushed a big weight and that's allgood

although i think that bench pressing and squatting.. with the bench shirts and squat suits take awya SOME of the credibility of their lifts
i dunno if deadlift suits play a big role in improving one's deadlift, though

i heard that mendelson attempted 1050 lbs but he couldnt pull it to his chest - a sign of the equipment going out of control

**BlueAndromeda73** · 05-21-2006, 05:27 PM

His wrists rolled just enough at the bottom he lost the grip, also he did live had a couple of ribs smashed an internal brusing pretty badly I think that was it dont quote me on that tho just dredging it out of memory

**juiceboxxx** · 05-21-2006, 05:34 PM

lol shyt that must suck. I bet he lost 10lbs by the weights droppin on his tummy like that

**~fuelforfire~** · 05-21-2006, 05:39 PM

whats the point, wow you can bench that once, so?

**boxingbean** · 05-21-2006, 08:17 PM

you know...thats y i dont use clips...i learn to balance them...so if i do get in trouble, lean to side, and BOOM im free...(*of course my cement has a few gashes in it, and my ears ring...but anything beats a broken chest plate)

**juiceboxxx** · 05-21-2006, 08:19 PM

to solve that problem just use a spotter if you cant it sucks though cuz I usually work out alone

**firmechicano831** · 05-21-2006, 08:59 PM

Do you think the spotters would have been able to prevent it on this one? It just looks like it happend so quick.

nope not when your lifting this much weight. 1 spotter cant do it alone no way. look howmay rushed to him to lift it. by the time they get it up a serious inquiry could have occured.

yea i guess thats true, but wouldn't you rather be a pretty boy powerlifter than an ugly fat ass powerlifter?
