[SmexyPC]

damn, scott smith srs has speed in his bench

[john90101]

steroids

[skybo053]

Are these benches considered "raw"? Or are they wearing shirts?

[Mozpowerlifter]

I think they wer raw dude

[ghr4gon]

no it was not rawr you can tell by under their shirts they have a bench shirt on the first guy you could tell cause of the logo on his arm and when he was walking the way the way he kept his arms in the air and elevated it was easily noticed he had a shirt on

[Mozpowerlifter]

Your right! sorry my bad x

[ghr4gon]

lol its all good =p

[EdoMuslic]

I see it too, why are they doing that?

[csuflasher]

How does a bench shirt work? Just curious

[ghr4gon]

hard to explain lol pretty much acts as a spring in a way idk how to explain it try searching it on the web or something if you really want to know

[tastefulphrasing]

@ghr4gon  It was just the first guy that wasn't raw. not all of them. Ed doesn't bench with a shirt

[tastefulphrasing]

@ghr4gon I take that back, you are right. that is disappointing.

[bubbi666]

you can see the banch shirt under the t-shirt .. they are not doing it saw

[bubbi666]

**raw

[lewandad]

I believe single-ply shirts were worn under their t-shirts. So, they have some help, but they are not the 2x or 3x material like some people use. still pretty legit.

[anthism2]

the first one was with a shirt, you can see it under his tshirt as he walks away after the lift. 2nd bencher also. none of these are raw.

[UrizenTheNegator]

Magnus Samuelson can bench press more than Coen but he surely doesn't total as much. It's not all about bench press.

[sulaymin]

magnus samuelsson can wip their ass in bench pressing magnus bench presses 600 pounds twice in a row

[docsrocks]

Magnus is 345. Coan is 220.

[xanderludwig1]

Magnus does 600 without a shirt o.0

[URAGR8M8]

600lbs for 2 touch and go with a bounce. Magnus Samuelsson would probably get 580 for 1 with proper powerlifting technique. Also, like docsrocks said, Magnus was more than 100lbs heavier than Coan.
