Lifting weights should be based upon the ability of the lifter to lift weights-not employ elbow wraps, knee wraps, or inbibe or injgest anabolic steriods-
He tested positive-as a result his "records' should be expunged.
Proven fact elbow wraps that started in the mid-1960s can add 5 to 10 percent to your lifting depending upon the area covered around the elbow and the thickness of the wrap.
@willconwell Actually, the whole point of discussing steroids, drugs or other controversial performance enhancing activities is to JUDGE whether it is right or wrong.Your argument that he still put in the work and developed excellent technique is irrelevant to whether performance enhancing activities are right or wrong.All top athletes who use banned performance enhancing substances also put in the work and develop excellent technique otherwise their performance enhancing use would be moot.
LOL I used to do 430 like that and I was NO WHERE near what he did ! I was FR when he was a SR ( in college ) and some of the older guys knew him so I talked to him 2 or 3 times.
yea but he did that 1120 with a lifting shirt and other stuff (That adds spring and power to the lift), the raw world record bench is still in the 700's prolly still by Mendelson as previously stated.
thats with all kinds of shit helping them raw record is 715 no way the strong men could press close to the power lifters power lifters speacialize in bench and curls and any other workout they get paid to do strong men have to have good stamina speed and power without focussing all of it into one its not as good
the last rep is 565 pounds, pretty fast too. shot putters have the strongest benches in the world. christian cantwell is probably the strongest in history with 685 raw and clean. at the 88 olympics, udo beyer walked into the weight room and did 300kg cold with no warmup.
well while shot putters are beastly strenght athletes, they don't speciliaze in powerlifting movments, so a powerlifter would be the best. mendelson has record at 715 raw.
565!!! holy crapola. That is a mean bench!!! I powerlift and used to shotput in high school. I have to say that I have mad respect for that bench, not only for the weight but for the technique envolved. I dont mean to take away from him but he was using elbow wraps. Obviously for the speed of the rep cause thats all that matters in shot! Thanks for posting the weight, truly amazing!
like why he bounce weight off-chest, no good! also it doesnt look like hes getting too many reps in or time under tension for his muscles, anyone know for a strength workout on the bench press, what it would look like, ie. how many reps of how many sets, rest between sets, so how many reps altogether and also how much time under tension per set or altogether, are there any such guidelines to strength training.
i say this all the time and people always get mad.. but this isn't for powerlifting its for shot put. you want explosion he isnt "bouncing" he is doing touche n go. If he was bouncing it he would feel it and it would probably crack his chest or bruise his muscles. tank does this too with a 600lbs bench press
hes focusing on exploding at the bottom hence the bouncing, this to train the body or chest and arms to explode, if he lower the weight too slowly he wouldn't get the explosive power development
Love the old school footage...how much did he bench at the end?...he had more in him too...long arms...not many guys can bench that much with long arms...
I know a senior who is six foot four and weighs 240 lbs. and can run the 100m dash in an 11.01. His max bench is 350lbs from football. He can beat you up and chase you down.
i know 2 guys that each weigh over 300 pounds are best friends and we ran the 4x1 relays and we called it the fat man relays, and we took 4th at a track meet. i dont remember the times but there were 9 other teams there.
im 6 foot but im a thrower, i stopped running because my quad was hurting real bad and my coach took me out of it. so i threw javelin shot and discus. i threw the discus 127'9 wich is not alot but i placed 3rd at districts and shot i threw 40'7 wich i didnt even place.
i went as an alternate, and i threw javelin at STATE 159'11 and took 12th, but i threw it further in practice the day before. and i know this isnt amazing but the amazing part is that this was my first year in track, and i joined late because i played baseball. and the coach was my uncle and he cut me from baseball after hitting a homerun down center in the scrimmage game to determine the people who get cut. i was pissed and soo was the team and community.
so i joined track cuz my girlfriend was in it. and i ended up with a talent i didnt know that i had. my first throw at a track meet was 140'1.
and i went from 140 to 150 at sub-districts, wich was a while later. i didnt throw good cuz i was learning the form. but when i got it down i threw 160'3 at districts to go to state. i took 3rd at districts. i hope i get better for college. and this is not a lie. look me up from washington. othello is my city. my name is Robert Valdez. 2a division.
mind you, i'm not impressed by the bouncing off his sternum.. just think what will happen when his elastin and collagen levels start dipping in old age!!
a world level athlete shouldn't have a weak core.. :P
It shows that while all a powerlifter can do is lift a damn heavy weight, power athletes, auch as shot putters and weightlifters have a distinct advantage of having transferrable strength..
Ken2234, your a complete dumbass.If you really knew what you where talking about you would know that the same year he set the world record...he tested positive for bigtime steroid abuse and was enventually banned from olympic sports for life! know your roll and shut your mouth. He's a badass..but just another "roid head."
Glad to notice that some people don't blindly see former superstars as heros. My opinion is that no athlete who has been busted (or even taken 'roids without getting caught) deserves any kind of admiration whatsoever...
Yep! He was a MONSTER! The BEN JOHNSON of SHOT PUTT! He was throwing way ahead everybody else! Another Victim of the testing Witch Hunts! His Records still stand! Talent & Hard work is the Meat & Potatoes of GREATNESS! Anything else added? Is gravy. Great clip.
@beefyskittles actually he only tested positive for androsteniodone.. a pro hormone.. not even a real steroid.. but no doubt he was on the gas.. what athlete in the top 100 in the world isn't? his technique in the throw is unsurpassable..
