[DOMSEMT]

Still a beast!

[TheNoisePolluter]

Well...title does say "Attempt"

[Lifter85]

WHAT A JOKE!

[drmbowen]

[MegaGlyndwr]

@ag72 your chatting shit mte there isn't a person around could bench 1500lbs+ your a liar

[Undyingwhisper]

@MegaGlyndwr Dolph Lundgren can bench 1500 with his flaccid penis.

[pushaman1983]

@ @ag72 so u pressed 1677lbs raw or what

[MrSindreee]

whats is that in kilos?

[SuperSayanFitness]

@MrSindreee 450+

[ag72]

that fat cheatting fuck, 715 aint shit raw, try 1677 raw, with no arching, spotters help, roids, bench shirts & all the other fake guttless trick that ALL heavy benchers USE to try & get big numbers up, nothing ever legit & raw, nothing more than a tipical youtube circus side show!

[beyondonethousand]

@ag72

Absolutely AGREED ag72!

[jodu83]

i love the slaps to the face before the  "big Fail"

[DieTheDeath]

this guy had the record at 715 so how did he move up to 1087?

[Linny42]

@DieTheDeath the 715 was RAW no bench shirt.

[Packer1290]

I find it ironic that the bigger your chest, the less distance you have to move the weight.

[TheManInBlack2003]

@Packer1290 and the shorter you and your arms are... 

[ektj]

After watching a few of this guy's vids, I realized why my bench hasn't improved: I have no one to smack me in the face before I press :(

[illadelphia0891]

Who's the little dude smacking him, his son or something...? if so, he's one lucky bastard to get the kinda support he gets from his wife and kids!

[asocaciu]

Red plates are 55lbs each.

[harrisxml1]

@89orangejuice he wears a mouthguard so he doesn't grind his teeth.

[STUDIO9TVONLINE]

faillll



[notriouschris]

He's not benching no were near 1000+ !! I counted 9(45)s on each side which = 855 including the bar. Even if there were to be 10(45)s including the bar that only adds up to 945. Fix your headline on the video.

[Bootface04]

@notriouschris Those arent 45lb plates

[weiderlifter]

@notriouschris this is power lifting those are kilo plates which are calibrated for power lifting competitions.. so that is 1087 ... sorry

[harrisxml1]

@notriouschris why do you act like that? why are you commenting on a powerlifting video when you don't know what your talking about? if you did, you'd know those are kilo plates. its what powerlifting events use. come on man.

[notriouschris]

@harrisxml1 I wasn't trying to be a dick I just thought they used pounds not Kilo's. My Bad!

[harrisxml1]

@notriouschris oh its cool man, its a common mix up. :)

[kvnd7331]

@notriouschris those are kg plates i think, more than 45 pounds

[Shinzo404]

lol. The poster's name and the video don't match. Heavy lifter with a softer side.

[thebearjewkiller1976]

so why is he wearing a sports bra lol!!!

[floatingburrito]

You need a lift off, bro?

[0000kris0000]

Keep pressing 3

[0000kris0000]

0:10 Little guy slaps him in the face

0:32 Big guy dry humps his face

I think i can see why he failed this attempt, poor bloke.

[TimeForSpeed]

keep pressing 4..

[TheGoodwill56]

you should put a vid of u repping 700 like 20 times

[SuperSteveeeeee]

54 people were able to bench 1087 lbs

[ertren6]

why was his mouth bleeding o.O?

[MoNSTeRaWz]

There is no reason to dislike, id like to see everyone who disliked this video get 1,000 pounds off the rack!

[jcrsix1]

@MoNSTeRaWzol ignorantt fuk lolol, he didnt even get it off the rack himself he had a spot lift!!!! You whoop Keep the thumbs up rolling 4 pointing out this dumb fools huge no-ob comment! yeah!

[thesuperbeast46]

@MoNSTeRaWz actually there are millions of reasons to dislike this!! so screw you!!

[Trey1496]

The barbell wasn't bending or anything

[RedTailedTuna]

@Trey1496 They use a higher quality bar then you will find in your average local gym

[RexisAZero]

huh?

Either way - he totally used that guy's crotch as smelling salt.

[alin1975]

@RexisAZero

Potent stuff :D I should totally work that into my bench routine

@luthmhor Really dude? Get a life.. You're the fucking douchebag here.. and so are the 7 other guys that thumbed up your retarded ass comment.

[DMacTheRealist]

@luthmhor lol the name of the vid is so long that the rest gets cut off. Blame YouTube, not him

[59FIFTYNEWERA1]

FAIL

[TheYouwontgetit]

i agree that using any kind of equipment just sort of ruins this sport... ...raw press is what counts in my book...

[kibetsu]

was that blood i see in his mouth ? :S

[ForcingYou]

you guys hatin dont get how much this actually is. btw he holds the world record in raw benchpress ;-) inform yourselves first before talkin, you bunch of keyboardwarriors!!

[MrYub]

@ForcingYou whats the go with him wearing a mouth guard ?

[ForcingYou]

@MrYub if the bar hits his face, dunno, its more useful when you use dumbbells

[bedwettingliberal]

@ForcingYou Well aware, but then he should stick to raw bench, because that is the only one that counts, the only one that is not gay and fake.

[ForcingYou]

@bedwettingliberal why dont you let him try to bench the most he can with equipment? he holds the raw record, so who cares lol?!

[bedwettingliberal]

@ForcingYou Uhh, because it's ignorant and meaningless. It's a lame attempt to fool people. Some ignoramuses, like you, might actually think he benched 1000+ lbs because he has misrepresented that he benched 1000+ lbs. It's very stupid, and so are you.

[tfox218]

@bedwettingliberal well he actually did bench 1000 at one point. He did 1025 in 2006 or 2007, if I remember correctly. He made a big deal of it and Kennelly came along and put up almost 50 lbs more. It is kind of lame because he makes these random attempts, ends up dumping it on his abdomen and Hoff has done 950 in a full meet and almost did 1000. Bell will probably get 900 in a full meet as well. So the novelty of a 1000 lb bench only guy has more than worn off.

[bedwettingliberal]

@tfox218 Idiot. He didn't even nearly bench 1000 lbs. He has benched 715. That's the world record. Having a stupid shirt with elastic bands on it to lift the weight for you doesn't mean you lifted the weight.

I'm guessing you believe professional wrestling is real too?

[tfox218]

@bedwettingliberal yes thank you for informing me of the raw record. I have been around powerlifting long enough to know that. What you are watching here is completely different sport, which I definitely have some problems with, but do not act like you could get under a bar and do near this weight. Like I said, he does this occasionally and dumps on himself and it seems very stupid. I would like to have an era with guys like Coan and Karwoski, but that is done with.

[bedwettingliberal]

@tfox218 My point is that nobody can get under this much weight and lift it. He couldn't get within 300 lbs of it. If you care a damn about powerlifting, you certainly agree with me that silly showmanship and charlatanry have no place in a pure competition of strength. If I show up with my forklift and me and it bench 2000 lbs, should I get to claim I've done something great?

[bedwettingliberal]

"Hey, I'm super fat, my arms are 3 inches long, I'm wearing elastic bands that are strong enough to hold up Rosie O'Donnell's underwear, some guy just put his junk all in my face, and I still failed on the lift."

[otnomnoraa]

@bedwettingliberal Scot Mendelson's armspan is 6'6".

[bedwettingliberal]

@otnomnoraa But his shoulders are 6' wide of mostly fat and each arm is about 3 inches long.

[leggoego]

You know you're dion something when your spotter needs a belt!

[jamrockingston]

epic fail

[gdub1984]

You can't call something a "record" unless it is 100% all you, no equipment.

[gdub1984]

@gdub1984

For physical achivements at least.

[Gotjits0156]

Shirts are cheating... Raw is the only real lift...

[narwhalsandjuice]

0:12 NO PWEASE NO MORE SLAPPY SLAP!

[tiberias111]

Gonna watch one of these guys ego their way to the bar falling straight through them one day spraying blood organs and fecal matter all over everything. Very strong man clearly but this weight at all costs mentality is foolish to me. Get back to the bare bones and do away with this quadruple denim trampoline shirt silliness that cheapens the game.

[RAIDERSenior09]

look at the cum stain on the back of the spotters shirt LMFAO

[hookerhifive]

If you cant lift it off the fkin bar on you own, dont lift it!

[909rhinox]

best one comment i hear is no one cares to comment when you are not doing well its when you start to excel that when people start to notice mix feelings i know what 945 locked out feel like so big plus for being able to control the weight but how he got there well we all know how most got there and gear me am at 565 2.5 years in and wont try shirt till 660 700 am all about raw got given (not grown with magic drugs) power

[ThePillowfy]

You know when its alot of weight when the spotters have belts.

[emericaordie15]

@ThePillowfy LOL! WTF!xD

[BerlinBarbellClub]

Scot, you are the BEST!

[gymman62]

WHAT A JOKE BY A FAT BALD HEADED JUICER. YOU NEED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH BOSLEY U FAT FREAK!!

[itswhatido100]

@gymman62 not sure why you are calling him fat. look at the picture at the end. you can clearly see his abs.

[ThE1NoNlYeasyWeight]

How the fuck does meawk have 27 thumbs up? You're talking about the guy who has the all time raw bench of 715. Who gives a flying fuck what you think about gear?

[zachwittusen]

that was a reallllly good negative

[asocaciu]

Lol at all the critics, Mendelson still has the highest raw bench of 715 without a shirt. I bet half of you shits couldn't bench 2 of those ivanko plates each side.

[NewGameReleases]

he can't even get himself off the bench press

[alaskanthizzlam]

WOW what a fat lozer

[NlaAllDay]

WATCH NLAALLDAY CHANNEL OR FOLLOW NLA PERFORMANCE ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER TO SEE MENDELSON'S LIFTS AT PRACTICE UPDATED 3 TIMES A WEEK

[biax123456]

Job opening....Skills required: put on a stupid looking bench press vest...lay down and hold 1000 pounds and bring them down 2 inches....arch the damn back.....and lift the weight in an absolute controlled manner of...straight up...while laying on you back...and lift it back up...2 inches.....or drop it on yourself....

[JDM1ASOT]

rETARD

[Next50On]

I'm sorry guys, but this "power lifting" is absolute bullshit! Why the f**k do they allow lifting shirts?? If you can't bench 1000lb in just a singlet, then DON'T!! Kaz never used such a gay lifting aid... and I bet Mr Mendelson couldn't bench 660lb RAW.. to his chest, not his gut! Honestly, just as they banned the super swim suits, so they should ban this exoskeletal like lifting garb. GET REAL & RAW!!

[puff1366613]

@Next50On actually he did 715 raw

[ThE1NoNlYeasyWeight]

@Next50On Obviously, you're either stupid, or just fucking retarded. Mr. Mendelson holds the all time raw bench record of 715.

[MrHoldmyDee]

The russians name is 'Alexey Voevoda' btw for anyone who wants to know

[MrHoldmyDee]

still a hell of an attempt in anyones book, kind of off subject but theres a russian on a documentary called "Pulling John" i seen on netflix the other week where he press' it was either 923 or 926lbs on a leg press(with his arms), and then adds MORE weight to it, and they pretty much said they didnt know how much weight was on it, all i know is id bust a nut trying to even attempt to move it lol

[callmesmorz]

i thought his fucking mouth bled

[Talfo08]

to swole.

[cframe95]

You know your shifting some tin when your spotter wears a lifting belt...

[lift6661]

Mendelson is a beast no doubt....but his head wasnt in it and thus his form failed. It wont be long Scott. Ill be seeing you soon.

[PoppinDingy]

this guy lifts fat kids for fun

[brunorolf]

Lots of retards watching powerlifting videos apparently. How dare you critique this mans form... He's attempting a 1,000+ bench press, I'm sure he has somewhat of an idea of what he's doing. Just a guess. And if ANY of you had the balls to compete in a full powerlifting meet, your total wouldn't equal this man's bench.

[AndyHarglesis]

This is even called a bench?

Not 1/19,000 of a inch push?

[Wayneman117]

whats the WR bench without the lifting shirt??

[simp144]

@Wayneman117 715 pounds I think ? Something not so far around that number, done by Mendelson

[ironwarriorfreak]

@Wayneman117 715 by Mendelson

[athruz0through9]

he's wearing a mouth guard.. thats not going to save his teeth if he drops that bar on his mouth..

[dassiekoppi]

@athruz0through9 idiot the mouth guard is for teeth clenching, try lifting some heavy weights sometime and you'll now how annoying that is

[II3L3V3N08]

0:33 haha

[meawk]

these bench shirts are retarded, its a test of strength, not supposed to be a test of how good your equipment is... Next their gonna add hydraulic pistons to bench shirts

[EndlersaurusRex]

@meawk These guys are so obsessed with their equipment that even the spotter wore a fucking belt.

[Exile101882]

@meawk Ur absolutely right, it's like the dude on here doing all the amazing dunks on a 8 ft rim, but Scot is still da man, 715 bench wit no shirt. He shud no better and just stick to raw lifts instead of worry bout the record numbers.

[meawk]

@Exile101882 yeah that's what i'm saying. No ones beat his raw record since 2005 and as far as im concerned that's the only legitimate bench press record. Like you said that's the one he should be working on.

[aaronalwines]

@meawk yeah the squat suits/equipment for squats in geared powerlifting is getting silly as well. to be fair though the shirt only takes around 300lbs off maybe so ur still looking at a 700lb raw bench

[bedwettingliberal]

@meawk That's a neat idea. I was thinking of just using a forklift to help too.

[Masterke85]

@meawk lol i agree but the same you could say about using roids

[SafebuySteroids]

gym-gear.blogspot.com

[hercule50]

lol keep pressing "4" over and over.

[SpecifiedPacifist]

1/4th that weight is twice as much as i can bench

[TheBigdowgz]

love how tiny the guy who slaps him is

[DieDie619]

WoW he can hold it and it takes 4guys 2 lift it up

[AndyHarglesis]

He should do an attempt at being NATURAL. Maybe that he can actually accomplish! LOL.

[AndyHarglesis]

@guitarshredder849 "Comment removed"

[fishman017]

There's gotta be a little muscular bounce, that slow of a down stroke will almost never produce a complete lift. Not saying bounce it off your breastplate, but you still need some spring.

[guitarshredder849]

@fishman017 It's illegal in competition, and coming down with even moderate velocity with that kind of weight would do damage to your chest. I only bench a little over 400 raw and if I get too excited on some of my heavy lifts I wake up the next day with a bruised chest. Best thing is just slow and controlled down and then explode up with maximum velocity.

[TheBigblackbutt]

maybe it wouldnt have fallen on you if didnt bring it to your stomach dumbshit... actually it would have fallen on you anyway

[Pantherlance]

yeah he didnt get it, but its a accomplishment if you can even lift 1087 pounds without your arms breaking off.

[gornaak22]

If that little fag was slapping me in the face, I would have knocked his freakin head off.. Crap like that doesn't pump me up to bench press..

[Modsnake98]

Everyone should really try and hold that weight above their face before they make comments. Calculated attempts such as this are huge and involve more trust in your team and spotters than any sport ive seen.

Learning a bench shirt is an art in itself so please if you are not a fan of powerlifting or anything like that then please keep your comments to yourself and go watch some soccer vids or something like that. Thanks

Great attempt Scott. Your right there. You have kennelly in your sights

[hommuside]

Pretty silly sport don't you think? I mean really.

[MrBlooCola]

id rather put up 500 for a few reps

[socopiropo]

0:33 surprise teabag

[djpurepk3d1]

more steroids maybe

[ifeel1234ninja]

LOL (slap) (slap) (drop)

[Bigbriansc]

They still don't know how stupid they look with all these shirts and shit on with their arms sticking out like morons...wearing elastic quarter inch thick shirts is not strength. This so called "power lifting" just keeps getting more rediculous every year.

[prince0fsains]

@Bigbriansc

Funny how people criticize, but couldn't come close. The technicality of a press like this is about as extreme as you can get. If anything is off by a hair, you will miss the lift.

You're tired of missed attempts. I'm tired of people criticizing others.....

Where's your 1000 lbs+ bench video? :D

[Dwalker2459]

man that was a waste of my time...complete failure

[HanstheDestroyer215]

kinda gettin tired of all these attempts

[SpecifiedPacifist]

wtf how do you get 7 extra pounds?????? and is that mouthgaurd going to fucking protect him if he drops 1087 pounds of weight on his face?

[Craigster45]

@SpecifiedPacifist im pretty sure its there for him biting down so hard when he presses.

[deanP382]

@Craigster45 or so the dweeb slapping him doesn't break his teeth

[gillygeco]

Con la maglietta elastica.... imbroglioneeeeeeeeeeeee

[zimmcat]

what a bitch

[PandizMusic]

hilarious just hilarious

[TheRub85]

I can do that.

[rohleks]

more roids

[fsxdave24]

whats the world record?

[Skyoneer2007]

with a bench shirt like that you cant help but to bring the weight down slowly. rayn kennelly used his legs more than scot does

[icedutah]

I wander if he is tempted to switch back to Inzer? He seems to bomb a lot in that Overkill like many other lifters.

[reptalix1]

@icedutah Actually he didn't bomb, he made a 991 bench. He's made 1031 at 275 with an Overkill shirt. I think Scot needs to slowly go up in weight before attempting to break Kennelly's record. He's made 1031, now go for 1047 and up. Also wearing a looser shirt may help with touching issues.

[strongsick286]

@reptalix1 jesue only 275 lbs jesus the guys a tank yea he could use with some weight how in the hell i dont understand it
