Scott Mendelson World Record 715lb Raw Bench Press

[greenalex28]

now thats how you bench



[2Thelog]

Ok this is a bench press I can respect. Fucking awesome

[beep43]

real deal right here...awesome!

[kmal2t]

Worst spot ever...he lifts then almost walks away...if he failed he would've been fucked

[phreekgarden]

@kmal2t

Why do you even comment on something you know nothing about? He had 2 side spotters and the middle spotter has to move out of the way for the judge to see the lift. You're an idiot.

[MrGlenn7000]

@kmal2t

LOL he's not spotting you in the gym for your 100lb 1rm this is a competition phaggot

[kmal2t]

@MrGlenn7000 go back to crossfit you backback faggot bitch. Doesn't mean he should leave where he was at.

[rctriplefresh5]

heard scott tried 740 in april any vids? even seeing him fail would be great.

[billubakra007]

What is the meaning of raw bench press?

[muzimuzi]

@billubakra007 RAW = without the use of equipment

[rctriplefresh5]

@muzimuzi the reason people who are noobs to powerlifting ask what a raw fit is...is because noone outside of this fucked up sport would even assume people in a sport that tests their strength would ever wear suits that help them lift ore weight than they really can.

nice work on the curls :)

[elvisflorian]

He benches a raw record and want happened next havent heard of him benching any higher did he quit

[Mitchel1025]

And then the spotter ate him..

[strongsick286]

man im just looking to get that in a shirt shit man thi guys a freak of nature even with all the right roids still thats some hardcore stuff

[TEEKHD]

The spotter is just like watch me curl this shit.

[MyWill100]

OMG I LOVE MURDOCHS HARD PORN

[jaycuda12]

Would have gotten more if he hit his wife back first

[lifter1991]

SUPER!!!! Great Respect from Russia!!!!!!

[fatkat721]

this is still very impressive but this guy takes drugs to get stronger there was a documentary about his family on showtime

[MakeABanana]

@fatkat721 Mendelson himself said that all the top lifters use steroids. There's no way a natural would ever pull off such heavy lifts.

[blooddogg3d]

Ed Coan iz a beast

[leviterande]

WTF HE BENCHED 1030 4 YEARS LATER??????????????

[RandyMattNolan]

@leviterande this is a RAW bench press.. raw means he did not use any gear. when he benched 1030 he used a bench shirt.

[OzzyFan232]

the spotter looks like a computer animation or something. unreal

[iCaughtUdoingSub4Sub]

holy shit the spotter looks like he could bench more

[Njderig]

Why so many dislikes? This man benched 715 RAW (No slingshot shirt) with perfect form. And his range of motion is respectable unlike most of these shirted T-rex 6 inch range of motion benchers. Can any of the 47 dislikers even unrack 715 without it ripping their pathetic frail arms out of their sockets? Yeah, I didnt think so.

[MetaIhead89]

who was the spotter in green shirt?!?!?

[sandnigga2233]

Now that's an awesome bench press!!!

[DragonMan933]

holy crap that spotter looks ridiculous! he probably makes people where ever he goes crap there pants!

[MrDiem2]

I bet that spotter owns a pair of purple shorts

[HulkingBravo]

I don't care about the fatso benching, I want to see the monster in the green shirt bench...

[customxspunjah]

@HulkingBravo He couldn't even hold 715.

[HulkingBravo]

@customxspunjah I'll give ya that one

[davetrace123]

If steroids wern't invented none of these videos would exist

[FuckSR4L]

That Spotter is a fucking monster!

[bjbrown24]

i'm so happy he can bring it down 2 inches and then up again. do some sit ups

[bretchet23]

@bjbrown24 you sound like a jealous old faggot to me

[tuckerjt1967]

@bjbrown24 ok let's see your bench or shut up please. the bar traveled a lot farther than 2". would like to see you even move that much weight 2".

[tuckerjt1967]

@bjbrown24 By the way idiot, Scott happens to have a six pack which is probably more than we can say for your. check out the pick at this sight: criticalbench. com/Scott-Mendelson htm

[UmagaSmash]

@tuckerjt1967 He may have a six pack but he can walk 50 feet without having to sitdown and catch his breath

[tuckerjt1967]

@UmagaSmash Yeah I'm pretty sure that is how his life goes, walk 25 steps stop for 25 seconds.....get real. Who cares and maybe, just maybe, he doesn't want to walk around looking like an pencil necked geek like most of you on here. He holds the raw bench press world record and could be setting the shirted mark today...he is opening with 1081 in Rock Springs. Maybe if you can show your world record in something I, and he, will be impressed enough to care...

[victor1993k]

@UmagaSmash yeah dude don't hate

[VikingII]

I saw these two dudes, they would call each other pussy and fag, when they are bench pressing to bench heavier.........Fags, they were total pussies, but it was really hilarious and gay as hell.

[muzimuzi]

i wonder how much money you get from breaking a world record in bench dead or squat... or maybe just the sponsership

[BritishPoliticansex]

huge long pause from a non megalomaniac

[adamscott]

I wonder how much ryan kennelly can get raw?

[300CtheWall]

@adamscott hes done 655 in comp.

[Wiegieboard]

That was a fast fuckin' rep! Incredible!

[rs62873]

that was an amazing lift-------effortless...

Damn strong lifter....

[dabombdigity1001]

How is slapping the shit out of him gonna help him bench press???

[Wiegieboard]

@dabombdigity1001 It'll get him to his optimal mental state which is hugely important in many sports.

[mtalve]

@dabombdigity1001

Emotions, anger :D

You should try it out. When your angry or hyped up over something, you will actually bench press more. At least i do.

[TheBizzle280]

Holy fucking Jesus. That spotter looked bigger than ronnie. His forearms were about the size of my thighs.

[beyondonethousand]

@TheBizzle280

Must you be a jerk and begin your comment like you did.  You are a disgrace.

[TheBizzle280]

@beyondonethousand ?? Okay... Sorry for "using the lords name in vein"... Wasnt expecting to anyone to take offence lol

[beyondonethousand]

@TheBizzle280

That's fine Bizzle but beginning a comment like that isn't appropriate. This is not because you said the f word. That part flies in Youtube like no tomorrow. Just leave God out when you feel the need to curse like that. At least you are big enought to apologize for that.

Peace bro.

[bravemicrowave]

@beyondonethousand jesus is a zombie.

[helisellson]

@TheBizzle280 nothing wrong with your comment mate

[Enanurri]

I think he can bench 800 after a kick of his wife in the balls

[MTLGSE]

This is an asbolutely insane lift. This, Boltons deadlift and Malanichevs squats are the three most impressive lifts I've ever seen.

[Ursusdk]

Damn actually mendelson has a wide ROM compared to other powerlifters, and himself when he's not benching raw.

[thejimmyreedy]

spotters lie " i do this shit in my sleep"

[freekbeta]

why is it raw?

[BryanEKS89]

@freekbeta

He's not wearing a suit.

[beerecan1227]

@steveninthematrix thats actually a good pick up on your part... its supposed to be a pause then press call... Not saying mendy couldnt do that tho cause he smoked it but still when it all boils down you are correct

[dasboot47]

amazing raw 715!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gymguy25]

Can a belt help you lift more weight on the bench press? I've heard it can make a considerable in difference in the squat and DL. Might sound weird, but I've been training pretty seriously for over 12 years and I've never used a belt in the gym (and no I don't get injuries).

[pisswizzard]

@gymguy25 It gives you something to brace your abs against.....although it does require a different technique! I don't use a belt either (even for squats/deads) and you tense/suck in your abs...with a belt you have to blow your abs out, so your weights initially suffer. However, from a bigger base comes bigger squatting and better stability.....plus the safety feature. I guess when I can't lift anymore without a belt, I'll add it in but only for heavy attempts to maintain my core strength....

[chiefs2k6]

spotter is The Great Khali

[JS8700]

@chiefs2k6 Yeah...if Khali shrunk a foot.

[topher54]

I gotta say, I am way more impressed by this than his 1080 with a bench shirt, not taking anything away, I just think this is way more difficult, he's a flippin beast

[Skyoneer2007]

@Ludichris8531 well James Henderson was the natural 710 bencher. my bad

[chodeyful]

Put aside the fact everyone there is on crazy ass roids. He's insanely strong and715 is amazing. I think he could do 725 or more

[SikGix55]

damnnnnnnnnn she bitch slapped the shit outta him

[mocaandduncan]

in this video he looked like he could have done probley 730

[acehead0987]

is that ed coen spotting him?

[SteveTheBull]

I believe he at least could have done another 10 lbs. Impressive to say the least!

[dapowerlifter09]

mendelson is legit

[underdg22]

He coulda lifted more...lol

[Skyoneer2007]

This lift was a drug free lift

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[jsamsonite07]

wow. who was the spotter? looked like the hulk.

[Feon3]

@jsamsonite07 LOL, that is exactly that I though.

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[ocpowerlifters]

Mendy is the shit

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[pocoinc]

does anyone know who's stronger, ryan kennely or scoot mendelson?

cause scott holds the record for raw bench with 715lbs and kennely holds the record for geared bench with 1050 lbs. i know the shirt adds a tremendous amount of strength but on the other hand 1050 is much heavier than 715. so does anyone know who's the stronger?

[zkyggen]

@pocoinc the raw. If he started traning in lifting with a shirt he would reach those numbers aswell

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[hunisbeast]

@pocoinc scots shirted bench is like 10 pounds less atm.

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[Thelog234]

That shit looked effortless. Mendelson must get all the bitches

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[heknowsitall]

he looked like did that easily

[fknturd]

That's exactly twice what I benched at the gym today, minus 5 pounds.

[sk8forlife90]

yes

[sk8forlife90]

lol, mendelson never juiced either.

[sk8forlife90]

who? scott mendelson? scot mendelson has benched over 1000 several times with a bench shirt.

[MrBigwhite69]

well there it is, the best shirted bencher is also the stongest without the shirt.... all the bench shirt haters should watch this video and SHUT UP!!

[sk8forlife90]

what are you talking about? scott mendelson dosn't have the strongest bench with the shirt.

[dbennett4]

@sk8forlife90 He did at one point, but certainly not when that comment was posted.

[sk8forlife90]

true, true.

[jamala0]

god that's amazing it looked like he even could of put up a little bit more

[vadim90]

the spotters name is muhammad. my step dad is friends with them.

[IIh1tm4nII]

how much can the spotter bench?

[kamikazeCORP]

lol the spotter probably curled that weight after

[abdr1111]

hahahahaha i was thinking the same thing

[muzimuzi]

@kamikazeCORP yea i tought so to but i've seen even a bigger spotter today

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[PUNJABABDUL1]

dis is not word record my cousin singh ratvi can do more then dat

[Skyoneer2007]

this is the world record without a shirt, and singh ratvi would make a new top on the powerlifting records

[DeckardPAIN]

Shut the fuck up, indianfag.

[xXxtimmytoughguyxXx]

mendelson said in an interview he didnt even train for this lift. he just did it for the hell of it to shut up some of the critics in the raw vs. shirted debate. obviously he could get alot more then this. i heard rumors or a 755 bench? could be wrong

[bulldogmma89]

that is  his wife dumbass

[Fir3fly798]

Damn, that shit was impressive. In my opinion raw lifting is the only lifting that matters. Who cares how much you can do while wrapped in elastic? Oh and I cannot understand why he lets that fat bitch slap him before his sets, but if it helps him bench more than whatever.

[zkyggen]

very nice, clean lift

[celconicuzn]

0:22 LOL?

[davisforman]

very impressive. Much better than this stupid stuff with the shirt

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[kokorikos002]

Who's the beast behind him?? Anyone know his name???

[cyspy]

haha I know right? probably some bodybuilder though

[nezpercenathan]

I was wondering the same thing. Hellacious arms!

[andysomethinsomethin]

gosh dude watching scott bench is like watching an ape

[frootlups]

LOL pause at 0:39, that spotter is a fucking giant.

[charlesquevedo]

guy in the grreeen is scotts bitch

[charlesquevedo]

stop searching right now cuz ill let you know i hold the raw deadlift at 1015 pounds naked that is not even wearing clothing, as for the bench i can put up 800 for couple reps raw

[YeahClickClack]

whats the name of the video where scott mendelson gets interviewed?

[rantanen1]

im sure

[jcwing21]

are u kidding me? andy bolton and benedikt magnusson have already done over 1015... and where are ur vids?

[NiTr091]

without a shirt/belt?

[jaxgaret]

Are you blind? Where was the assist...

[foottothroat21]

deadlift? sure as hell not bench

[ExhumedANDConsumed]

wtf are you dumb? That was one of the cleanest bench presses I have seen....

[sk8forlife90]

not raw though. no one has benched over 1000 raw. never.

[viperbitea]

that spotter is fucking huge

[yoda8191]

I like when he grab's the guy's ass at :52

[PrivateJason]

lol the guy in the green behind him looks like he can bench that weight too

[geneticAnimal111]

ill bet he cant tho

[sk8forlife90]

lol, no way he can.

[gymguy25]

I can't find the raw world record for the deadlift and squat, anyone know what they are? Where could I find them? (I tried search engines and can't find anything).

[azar209]

Yeah me either.

[RJORRIS]

Deadlift is 1003 lbs held by Andy Bolton

[RJORRIS]

The World Record Deadlift is 1,003 lbs, held by Andy Bolton. And I'm not 100% sure about the squat, but I think its 1,250 lbs held by Vlad Alhazov, and both these records are the records done with unlimited equipment, ...u know squat suits and such...

[gymguy25]

I already knew what the world records were with gear, it's pretty easy to find, I was looking for the raw world records, if anyone knows, please tell me.

[RJORRIS]

Yea ur right it is hard to find Raw records, all I can find was a 948lb Raw Squat by Mark Henry, and a Raw deadlift of 933 by Andy Bolton. Don't know for sure if these are the real records.

[GODLIKE20000]

Mark Henry lol

[Fir3fly798]

Konstantinovs has a raw record deadlift of 939 I believe.

[tprince23]

I would rather get punched by mendelson than his spotter

[ocpowerlifters]

LOL! hes a big boy

[mattdogg65]

i wonder what it's like to be punched by him

hahaha that woman slapping him in the beginning is funny as hell

[sk8forlife90]

get knocked the fuck out or be the first time you cried since you were like twelve!

[mattdogg65]

shiiiiit he might do major damage....like death depending where he hits ya yeah I'll take a sick day when my school holds their annual "get punched in the face by Mendelson day"

[kobesunset]

friggin spotter is a beast!

[jaimesandoval1988]

Where is the pause in the bottom!

[KinesitionChirossage]

He did that so easily it's ridiculous! I wanna' see Mendy hit a raw 800 now. I know he's got it in him! You're the man Mendy!

[BowflexIsForHomos]

Hell yeah, he has said he benched 780 raw in the gym.

[fudgyqueso]

dude my dad trains with him so i have met him. he is actually a really cool and nice guy.

[UrizenTheNegator]

INHUMAN!

Scott is the king of bench press, fuck Kennelly!

[Mustang12431]

the spotter is big

[betotey]

yeah, most people watching this are probably looking at the spotter!
