  • not the greatest form but still a good bench.

  • it takes balls to lift that weight with a girl spotting you

  • @all people who say that its bad form and that he is bouncing... I was a powerlifter and i can tell you that not a lot of people can handle 600 lbs even boucing the barbell on his chest, so have some respect for tank abbot, he does have power!!!

  • He weights over 300 pounds bounced it off his chest and arched his back and didn't hold it for a two count on his chest. He's disqualified.

    But after saying all that, it was still impressive to throw that kind of weight around.

  • its like Big Show being lifted on a bench XD

  • He bounced it off his chest.... bad form.

  • He bounced it off his chest.... bad form.

  • you suck

  • like the guy on the back can do somthing if its fall

  • His belly gave him a 200 lb advantage!!!

  • wtf only one spotter? should have a guy on each side and one behind his head

  • Tank couldn't do that anymore...

  • @Gplex So? He doesn't need to. Give props where props are due.

  • @sammcl16890 true

  • Well he may bench press a 1000, but he'll still be a crappy fighter.

  • KIMBO KNOCKED HIS ASS OUT!! HARD!!! 305 son!

  • bouncing the weight off your chest might help lift an extra, i dunno, 10 lbs? you "proper form" nazis should go to a gym and try to lift weights for once in your life. everybody cheats from time to time when there trying to find their strength 1-rep max

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah bounce it off your chest, real cool...

  • hey fuck u guy tank would whoop yur ass even though hes like 50 now

  • Whoa whoa whoa, Sorry dude, i didn't know you were worshiping his nuts!

  • suck my red balls

  • I'll give you blue balls from too much anticipation.

  • dude, shut the fuck up camaro...if you're gonna bitch about bouncing off the chest go search for a video of someone benching 135. otherwise, just lay off. if you bounced 600 pounds off your chest it'd crack your sternum in half. bouncing or not, this is ridiculous.

  • Very well said! I always wonder how many people Tank has knocked out at the gym for talking shit on his bench form,lol! I bet that if he did a controlled bench he would put up at least 550!

    The thing that cracks me up is that when you see other videos of guys benching 5-600lbs is that...all those dudes ever do in life is eat 300 grams of protein a day, juice up and do nothing but train all day.

    Tank puts up 600lbs and drinks and goes to parties!

  • @Kramer135

     I'm highly skeptical of the weights used in tanks training videos ...I have a strong feeling they are embelished just a tad... But then again the UFC is getting to be just like the WWF ...wink

  • im sure bouncing helps. 600 lbs doesnt "bounce" it would crush, fukin moron.

  • Yes! I am considered a moron by other internet users! Please, continue to insult!

  • your so slick with your cool guy non-chalant replies. though it bothers you that a bunch of people pretty much outed you as a tard. lol

  • so true.

  • now this one is real, coz it's tha Tank!

  • 585....not 600

  • tank is a animal

  • ok so guys here r saying 600lbs on bench is not much...thats funny!!!and a boxer can lift 980lbs????kimbo can bench 850 10 times????either all u guys r dreaming or u r full of shit,come on stop trying to impress people here,at least be honest......

  • Thats nuts, Glen Jacobs did 650 but tore his tendons as a result in 1999 - 2002 :(

  • not bad son.....

  • that was awesome,and that was REAL not like the bullshit video of the guy doing 585lbs for 23 reps....

  • Agreed!! That is bad ass, not like some jerk benching a fake 585lbs and even taking a brake in the middle to talk. Maybe the lemmings will learn how hard 600lbs is to bench..

  • exactly. The 585 for 23 reps is an obvious fake.

  • hmm i also assumed its fake - since if he benched 585 that easily for 23 reps he could obvoiusly bench 800-900 for few times which EASILY makes him the world strongest bencher : which he is not.

  • of course, the first person who would bench 585 for 23 reps had to be 8 ft and 500 lbs.

  • maybe not 8ft - remember the taller a person is it takes away from their strength. For example - longer arms means you must push the weight further in a benchpress. And longer legs means you will have to squat further etc.

  • but thats not my point, im saying how its impossible to rep 500 like that

  • EXACTLY

  • @matt5litres haha funny shit i was just done watching that one

  • wow I didnt think he had that in him. you could tell it was real by the way the bar was flexing. I do squats with that weight and the bar does the same thing. he should really do that in a power cage. much safer.

  • hah screw him he has no cardio. even kimbo messed him up and kimbo sucks

  • he is a fat bastard who does not enough muscle to do that

  • like that tub of lard can bench that much. he's not even in powerlifting shape, He obv, eats more than he works out. his belly shows.

  • You've obviously never seen this guy in action.

  • OBVIOUSLY U DONT KNOW TANK ABBOTT. Tank Abbott was one of the precursors of UFC, fighting and beating some of the best. U dont seem to know powerlifting either "Hes not even in powerlifting shape" LOL, first off read a little about powerlifting before posting moronic comments.

  • Not only that but the lift was completed with a fake beard and most likely knock-off brand running shoes. He should stick to eating, he's obviously good at that.

  • Hahaha fake beard. Awesome

  • useless, kimbo beat him up

  • that is strong bench press

  • perfect form? go fuck yourself he just benched 600 appreciate it you dum jealous motherfucks

  • watching how he benched that tell me he can possible do 495 x 2 with correct form.

  • thats not a real lift.

    He didnt pause at the bottom of the lift.

    He also dosent have the build of a powerlifter which makes me believe this is fake

  • if hes training he doesnt need to pause it at the bottom.. d'oh..

    but it was very far from perfect form

  • you never seen a real power lifter i take it lol ive seen a uy down the gym here called the emporium bench 250 kg and he is around the same build powerlifter aint well built at all the watch the stogest man competitions and see most them are just fat guys to the eye but it aint all fat its fucking hard work and alot of hours you fucking retard

  • Obviously fake, you can see the wires, WWE bullshit, what a publicity stunt.

  • LOL, MMA has nothing to do with WWE , and tank abbot is a big strong guy , 600lb isnt mega mega amounts to bench , and publicity for what ? tank has been a shot fighter for many years , if he was ever any good !

    having said all that, im presuming your comment is a bit of post modern humour - good call !

  • 600lbs isn't a mega amount to bench? Really? Tank weighs about what 260-275lbs? The world record in that class (under 275) is 615. I know this wouldn't pass in a meet but it's HUGE. I have to agree that it may be fake. He just doesn't seem to have the build to lift that.

  • tank got fat

  • amazing

  • horrible

  • Impressive, and as mentioned, the bounce of his chest looked like it hurt lol, but good job.

  • Idiot!

  • damn that was nice, too bad kimbo whipped the floor with him huh?

  • Kimbo was also fighting a guy in his 40's. I'd say he had a slight advantage.

  • terrible form

  • yup you are a beast

  • hard bounce looksl ike it hurt

  • tank abbot is the man. I am truly impressed.

  • if it was rubber then why does it sound like metal plates hitting up against eachother. dumb people will say anything.

  • no negative and bounced off the chest

  • So what? He bench presses 20 times more than you'll ever deadlift, shut the fuck up, pathetic haters.

    Btw, didn't help him against Kimbo, though.

  • Man that bar was freaking bending! If that bar had broken, this video would be seen by pretty much everyone.

  • Tank had bad form, but still strong as hell.

    As far as that other video with the little guy benching 585 for 22 reps.....Anyone who believes that video is real is a total idiot!!!

  • i just saw that.

    and i just saw this footage and i can see the bar bending with Tank.

    the other dude claiming 585 plays with it. no real bastard is going to "play" with that kind of weight.

  • Raw World Record 715, 600 : Impressive, bounce or not. A WORD ON ANOTHER CLIP: "585 Bench For 23 Reps" :Total fake: Plates are 1/3 weight marked to be. Claim is impossible & absurd. A skinny (200 lb) nameless kid stronger than any superheavyweight in history? (only 130 lbs less than 1 rep raw WR, for 23 reps?). Comments aren't let though without aproval: If a comment calls attention to these facts, it never gets on the screen. So, all the comments up are from morons who believe it!

  • Iazurt1 youre 100% right. I commented on that video of 585 for 23 reps, but was blocked cause I called bullshit, fake plates at a fitness expo. Scot Mendelson holds the raw bench record of 715 and he bench 585 for about 7 reps. So How the fuck can some 200 lb kid TRIPLE the reps of the world's strongest bencher? That guy couldn't get one rep with 5 plates, let alone get 23 reps with 6 plates. Besides, 585 for 23 reps would roughly equal a 1000-1100 LB. raw bench. Those kids are complete idiots.

  • Good point, in addition, Ryan Kenelly got 405 x 20, no way ould that 200 lbs kid out bench Kenelly.

  • Absolutly fuckin right!! I tried to comment twice and no go! You wanna see something funny check the comments on that guy's page. The funniest shit is he goes to the pages of the people who call him out and leaves these creepy "stepfordwife-esque" passive aggressive comments, sarcasticly congratulating people for "policing the internet" just because they dont like that this dude is trying to pawn himself off as the strongest bencher in history.

  • ironshiek your an idiot. the bar will bend at 3 plates. Theres 6 plates on each side which is 540, and when the bar touches off his chest watch the bend on the bar. shows what you know. have you ever seen a bar like that on anything less? no you haven't

    and listen to the weights bangin around when he does his rep. theres nothing fake about this. tank in his prime was a monster, he obviously can't do this anymore.

  • oh my fucking god

  • Holy fucking shit!

  • That bar bending doesn't look fake

  • ok even with a bounce thats still fuckin impressive..and all of you faggets talkin shit probly couldnt even lift the bar..pussies

  • Rubbish at fighting??? Wtf are you talking about? look at the early fights and you will see what an animal he is. He even knocked out Cabbage witch Sylvia didnt even come close to doing, and Sylvia is a BIg man. Tank is a legend and will always be so. Anybody saying otherwise is keyboard heroes.

  • i hatwe both of you but i hate xms slightly more

  • GREAT VIDEO!! <BR> Do You Like LIVE Bare Knuckle Fights?? <BR> Check out the All New RioHeroes(.)com <BR> Bet now with BetCRIS(.com)

  • pressed it like it was nothing. he could do more.

  • what are ou talking about? he was being royally crushed

  • When exactly did the crushing take place cause I missed that part.

  • he screams oh god kimbo lifted 850 lbs 10 times didn't bitch this guy bitches on 600 and look how the weight hits his belly im surprised this guy is still alive

  • :) that's pretty funny actually.

  • whats is that tank is fat or that kimbo lifted 850 10 times anyways those 2 facts are real

  • What does kimbo have to do with this video? is he in it? where at is he? I thought this was a video of Tank. I could care less what kimbo can do. There's pro lifters that would make both of them look like babies but I'm not comparing any of them. I just thought it was impressive of tank to press that amount especially when he didn't struggle with it.

  • first the relationshi^p in between his vid and kimbo is that kimbo fought tank september 14th thats the only relationship in between the 2 second he clearly struggled with the weight

  • Well I know that they were gonna fight. Didn't know that they already did. Anyway, I'm more interested in the lifting aspect. Again, he didn't struggle. I've lifted long enough to plainly see it was no problem. If you wanna see someone struggle, put me under the bar. You'll see someone struggle. lol.

  • ive done boxing for 14 years and you need really strong triceps to have a good punch and ive weight lifted 980lbs and won 700 dollars but yeah i agree a lot of people would struggle and i still think that tank struggled because you can hear him say oh god and whine now tank is strong but not that strong

  • I heard him grunt but never heard his say 'oh god' before lifting. He grunted, pressed, then made the EXACT same grunt after he was done.

  • I just checked out what you said about kimbo and tank fighting and no they have not fought yet. The fight will be October 12th. Facts are very important. I can now see how it is easy for you to miss the FACT that Tank didn't struggle pressing the 600 pounds in this video.

  • first the supposed match was september 14 at the palladium when tank was called out by kimbo but i think they rescheduled it.

  • No, it wasn't a supposed match or any other match in September. Kimbo fought Ray Mercer and after the match he called Ray out which really was just a promotional ploy to get people excited about the possibility of those to fighting. Kimbo and Tank have never fought each other as of today.

  • i said possible match up

  • what im saying is kimbo always fought smaler fighters but he kicked ass in his mma debut and is more of a lifter than puncher and in a ring hes lifting a guy thats face forward so he won't be able to lift kimbo and kimbo has been boxing for more than 10 years.listen im not trying to embarass you but if you're more interested in the lifting than stick to it but don't go talking about fighting if you've never fought. and thats a FACT

  • And you have a problem with factual data as well as assuming information that you have no idea about. For your information young man, I used to spar with Virgil Hill. You may have heard of him. He won 5 title belts in boxing. At your age, you should have your facts down by now. You should also not be assumptive at your age.

  • please don't start acting like a superstar and all my facts are proven and you've done weight lifting ive done boxing and virgil hill is good though i have never fought with him i can say that im his brother . so please don't lie thank you

  • You are an absolute dork and moron. Really man, get a life.

  • you are an idiot because you need to cus you know you're wrong just hut up or admit it fuck anyways tank will beg for mercy when kimbo is done with him.kimbo is gonna make him bleed to death.and your idol will fall you fat overweight fucking kid you go get a fucking life bitch

  • Dude, seriously, get a life. I don't give two shits about there up coming fight. Go talk to somebody who does. This is a video about bench pressing. You're a wierdo.

  • you're fucking wierd stupid fuck you go get a life i talked about the fight as a subject so fuck off second i don't give a shit about you third im not going to answer anymore of you're shit man you are some fucking kid acting tough

  • Good, I'm glad you are going to shut up now cause I never asked you a question one time. You've been an annoying little gnat who keeps talking about some stupid fight that nobody cares about. This is a video about bench pressing 600 pounds. Now be gone with you.

  • don't tell me shit you fucked up little white boy and don't talk gay mybe it excites you but its really fucked up for others now please shut up

  • white boy? lol. you are wierd. go see a doctor.

  • you should now fuck off

  • blah blah blah, blow it out your ass you freak boy.

  • freak boy? see white boy is said to people of white descent but people who are called freak boy come from your family

  • You little man, are the most presumptive person I think I've ever ran across. You call me white boy; first, like that is even a bad thing. To be called any race or color isn't a bad thing. Second, you have absolutely no idea what color I am you only presume which makes you look like a complete fool. Now go watch your wwe wrestling child.

  • dude go suck your dad now if you reply to this you're a fag puny bitch come on reply faggot

  • wierdo.

  • yourself fag

  • A few of my friends have laughed at how foolish you look in your conversation. lmao.

  • please shut up faggot and surprisingly you have friends but sadly i dont believe you bye whore

  • i know u posted this shit a loooong time ago but u still need to be told that ur an idiot! kimbo NEVER benched 850 10 times! i'd bet my dick that he couldn't do 850 ONE time. the WR is just over 1100lbs. if he benched 850 more than 5 times...he'd obviously be close to the record...he's not. which brings up another point...ur a boxer...and u benched 980? ur a fucking liar...record it and youtube it for us. better yet....lemme see u do 315...u wont...because u can't!

  • You're an idiot buddy, I never said I was a boxer andI never talked about Kimbo benching 850. I think you replied to the wrong comment.

  • hahahaha...u might wanna scroll up and read what was written under ur screen name then "buddy!"

  • My friend wrote that. He was a bit stupid and high when he wrote that. None the less, the name calling was never needed. And I'm not gonna fight for him about something written so long ago and talking with another person. Peace. Btw, good vid.

  • good point....my bad. but, then u called ur friend stupid. no name calling!!! take it easy.

  • I am taking it easy. It's just that my friend doesn't know much about mma and all that but he just typed it like that. Stuff happens, that's why I called him stupid. Cause he was a bit I guess.

  • i second that
