Sorry, I have a really hard time believing that guy did 250, 22 times that easily. I call absolute BS, not appeniv bruv.That was a gimmick we did at the AX booth during the Arnold: get your picture taken benching "585lbs". That's classic these kids are posting it up on Youtube.
The plates are made of aluminum, and only weigh about 17lbs. The whole thing weighs just under 250lbs. The record was 35 reps, made by one of the Arnold Classic competators. Guy was a BEAST.
He's an idiot (doing partial reps and using suicide grip), but he's not a small dude. It's not that hard to do 22 at 250 if you're doing 1/2 of the motion.Sorry, I have a really hard time believing that guy did 250, 22 times that easily. I call absolute BS, not appeniv bruv.
True, it just looked really light in his hands, and he didn't look very big. Maybe I was just hating because of his disgusting ponytail.He's an idiot (doing partial reps and using suicide grip), but he's not a small dude. It's not that hard to do 22 at 250 if you're doing 1/2 of the motion.
I hope no one in here does bench like that....:banned:
You're right, I'll try to tone down the hating a little. I thought you were down with the hatred? Whenever I give people the benefit of the doubt, I'm usually proved wrong, thus the hating.You tend to hate somewhat excessively. I bet that dude is around 230 unless he's a munchkin. The ponytail is not cool.
That's what you got out of this:blink: Onward with the hatred.hahaha the picture of the girl is priceless!!
I'm confused today. The ponytail means that you should intensify the hate. Please hate on me for not recognizing this. :sad: I'm a hobbit. :think:You're right, I'll try to tone down the hating a little. I thought you were down with the hatred?

Normally I'd definitely turn up the heat on the hatred meter, but you're my friend:whiner: and you told me to chill. That last sentence was far gayer than that fag's ponytail.I'm confused today.

Jeremy Hoornstra is a great raw bencher. 675 touch and go flat, Incline 605. I think he did skull crushers with 315 for like 8.Yes the comments people are leaving on youtube are hilarious. Everyone is in shock and thinks it's the most amazing thing they have every seen.
Sadly when I clicked this link I was expecting to be astonished by some "real" heavy lifting.
NickW has some pretty insane numbers. He's up there with the best of them.Jeremy Hoornstra is a great raw bencher. 675 touch and go flat, Incline 605. I think he did skull crushers with 315 for like 8.
Yea Hoornstra is a beast. I read somewhere, I think it was on his website that he is planning to attempt 715 in competition this year to tie Mendelson's record. Have you seen his DVD?Jeremy Hoornstra is a great raw bencher. 675 touch and go flat, Incline 605. I think he did skull crushers with 315 for like 8.
