Jason Coker Shatters All-Time Bench Press Record with 903 lb Lift 1/23/10

[MrSemperfi12]

Jason is a class act I had no idea who he was or what he was able to lift and he came over and took time to talk to my 4 year old son to make sure he was having a good time ... CLASS ACT and shirt or no shirt who can even hold that up let alone move it up and down

[ishootscrub18]

midget

[Weh1921]

is this lifting or wearing a stooge suit?

[American5585]

fat pig

[nuclearsharkattack]

This is sad. The guy looks like he fell out of a box of Lucky Charms wearing a 6-ply bench shirt made from the casing of a steel belted radial truck tire. Like Ted Arcidi once said about how ridiculous the bench shirt has become and how it's made a joke of powerlifting, "What's next -- using a forklift?"

[benizzz]

LOL look at hes chicken legs

[aWalkingAnomaly]

He can put up more than all you haters combined raw.

[zachman0808]

lol, this federation is a joke

[6reevesy9]

hugly dwarf.

[SlayerFan1993]

Was he lifting to The Rock's theme song?

[JCanipe]

Did his elbows even bend? New rule. Elbows must bend to at least 90 degrees. Why not just do quarter squats and for deadlifts all you have to do is break the bar off the ground. Seriously people, this is a joke. He is strong for sure, but he is not showing us a bench press here.

[rocknova]

this makes powerlifting look so pathetic

[ryandks]

This is an impressive world record though not in the benchpress, but that more recent lift that has replaced the benchpress in modern power lifting - the Richard Simmons pull-over. Congratulations to Jason Coker on being crowned by Richard Simmons, the king of the cornhole!

[hybridman]

can clearly see uneven extension and the bar stopped on the way up and no real pause at chest. why did this pass? oh yea its not IPF, which is the only legitimate respectable fed of powerlifting.

[BryanEKS89]

I think what everyone in this thread means to say is, "I can only bench press 200 so I going to make fun of someone who can bench 700 lbs more than me to make up for my insecurity."

[CH6257]

@BryanEKS89 Bench 200? You're giving the YouTube keyboard warriors too much credit. I'd be surprised if they can even bench 135.

I mean, even if this guy's gear added 200 or so pounds to this lift, that means this guy probably has a RAW bench of 650 to 700 pounds. Being able to RAW bench 3 or more times your bodyweight is really a mind-boggling amount of strength.

[BryanEKS89]

@CH6257

Exactly.

[tastefulphrasing]

@CH6257 True, but we would rather see the 650 raw. Adding 200 pounds is a joke. thats a lot of weight to add just by using equipment. Why dont we just give runners jet packs on their feet, or let swimmers use flippers. Because it is not truly what that person can do. you are right 650 is an incredible bench, so why not show us what he is really made of. But Im not trying to dis them, it would take a lot of mental strength to get under that much weight. but still embarrassing for the sport.

[bigshowmack]

is 930 the record for the special olympics?

that was a garbage lift

[DWdrummerFX]

The guy can only bench press 225lbs on  a normal day. They played The Rock's theme song and his fibraz instantly got jacked!

[Sparxxx77]

Too small ...

[weightliftingisgreat]

Ehh...where was the pressing part?

[RemediosVaro85]

REAL RETARDED FACE AHAHAHAH

[urt200123]

move the bar 3 inches thats not a bench lol

[dellbaz]

hey wasn't this guy on mtv jack ass?

[healthhavencom]

The only lifts that matter are 100% raw.

Bench shirts are retarded.

[nextwarrensapp]

I know this guys cousin

[drumtravelfun]

This lift is even more impressive considering that the guy is a little person.

[herc410]

impressive, but have to agree with mrmysterion. deadlift is onlt true lift, long live andy bolton.

[TheDavidgibby]

that doesn't answer my question i obviously already know he can do more then i can do suited raw

[electrovampir0]

i prefer to lift 225 in proper form and be i good shape !! and not be a fat belli bencher

[blastbeatsable]

Jason Jason Jason Jason Jason Jason times 99999

[TheDavidgibby]

what can he do raw?

[XMrLawlX]

@TheDavidgibby More than you can do suited. I sat right next to this guy, front row at the APF Nationals on June 5th, I didn't realize that the man who was sitting litterally 6 inches away form me was Jason Coker. He is a true man. If you watch Logan Lacy's 1003 squat on June 6th, Jason runs up to save him ;P

[smitty2662]

all i got to say is wtf is up whith his arms lol

[xxskeletonv3xx]

dude jason congrates bro, 4 times ur own body weight OMG dude,

[mr2weeks]

The way these bench shirts are being used is getting out of hand. A 450 lb raw bench would have been far more impressive. I won't even get into the "judging" and the standards that some of these lifts are made under.

[LiftingChamp323]

This is the lift they are talking about on the cover of the new PLUSA???

Once again...another lift that would not pass in TRUE, strict Powerlifting. Notice the short (!) pause, plus he never really locks it out AND it dips down on the right side BEFORE the rack signal. :(

[PocketKremiums]

@LiftingChamp323 And who are you to judge? stfu its 900 pounds.

[LiftingChamp323]

@PocketKremiums I'm a certified Powerlifting and Olympic Lifting judge with 38 years experience as a lifter with numerous (over 170) Drug-Free titles and records, that's who.

[xabcx]

@LiftingChamp323 deeeeeeeem LOL brutal

[Apjooz]

Does anyone else have a problem with the commentator giving technique advices during the lift? I think he should just SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[chiefGeorgia]

Jason, F*@% dude... That was a great lift... Man let me know when you compete again and I'll try to make that one.

Chief

[delo01]

He didnt even rack the fucking thing, plus he is a midget with 5 inch arms.

Bullshit lift.

[chiefGeorgia]

@delo01 Hey dumb ass. That dude is 5' 7" and that is record lift. He is the strong man alive in his weight class. He is not the strongest that is his great friend. Oh by the way the is my step son. His one arm is probibly the size of you upper thigh. Just congrat the man. We only can dream to be able to lift half of what he does.

[toasterbot]

about a 3 inch range of motion right there.

[SecDefChris84]

i still wanna know how the hell that vest makes you bench more.

[AIveoIus]

The way it fits on you is super tight and it pulls both your arms in towards your chest, notice after he's done he can throw is arms up but never throws them out away from eachother.

[LifterAndy]

Бля. и такое уродство засчитали...

[androgen300]

Красавец!

[DmitryKasatov]

Это смех, а не жим лежа

[Nechaev300]

Jason, you are the best, man !!!!

[KBCThird]

awesome lift

[Brndon076]

@MrMysterion so its retarded huh? probably cause you cant bench shit

[vibbly]

@MrMysterion Well, in the APF and the like, sure.

[lurchman76]

@MrMysterion you should give single ply benching a chance, its nothing like this. full control of the wight required, you cant pick your head up and you must touch the bar to your chest, not on your belly. check it out, maybe you'll like it a little more than this nonsense.

[mgriff2]

Soft handoff, elbows covered and no lockout - yeah strong no doubt but a bench press it is not.

This is why these records are a fucking joke!

[nemo227]

@mgriff2 You got that right!



[TSMK900]

@mgriff2 You must be really stupid right?

If this guy were to straighten his arms at such a high weight, his career would end fatally as in his elbows would break off coz he is lifting half a ton. Do you understand this?

[mgriff2]

@TSMK900 You must be really stupid as you have just admitted it did not pass the fucking rules knumbnuts!!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS? PMSL

[tjkadar]

That was an incredible lift! Congrats Jason!
