who do you think is the all time best raw bencher? i think there's no one better than super-james henderson. he made once unofficial gym lift something like 730 am i right?
I think Scott Mendelson is the best competition raw bench. As for gym lifts, I don't put much stock in those. Its really easy to claim to do something in the gym...we all know how much harder it is to pull it off in competition!
think about him, 6"5,400+ lbs and he can smash bricks and stuff
what did mendelson hit raw? 713 or 733?
idont know but james made incredible 730+ gym lift, what a strong stud
It sounds like you want to take a ride on hendersons meat pole give the gym lifts up bro, they dont mean shit
Mendy made a 713 at 308...Highest all time GEAR-less bench. TO BE THE MAN, YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE MAN!!!!!!WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Erm
I'm with Erm on this...like Dave said, gym lifts don't mean shit. At the VERY least do it in exhibition. Its not the same as competition but its better than just BSing about what you've done in training.
Anyone remember that dork on the internet who posted he could bench like 800lbs with one spotter doing a one arm curl when he was benching? His spotter was always some guy with huge arms. :biglaugh: Who was that guy?
Isn't that the joker from the Guinness book of world records? He was probably a very strong guy, but gimme a goddamn break. He never competed once, and talked all kinds of shit. I hear that Kaz, Coan, Arcidi etc all challanged him to bench contests and he turned them all down. I guess he's not too dumb after all!
Mendelson, end of story!
Isaac Nesser is the joker from Guiness. I tried talking to him on AIM one afternoon, and he was a real dick to me, no good training advice, nothing. Can't even consider him a powerlifter. Me thinks he's just a joke.
Yeah, thats the guy! What a mar-roon.
what about the "iron bull" pelutcheria(sp???) on his site he had some videos of him bench 1000lbs, he had three spotters helping him lift it.
hahha...I've heard of him but I've never seen the website...post it! **cough cough**doitinacompetitionliar**cough cough**
