Why is there always a hater on here? More like hundreds! You people make me sick! Get a life yo! You people saying this is fake and its impossible to do this kind of weight at his size and bodyweight are idiots. My father... rip. Benched 375 and was 5'8 180 pounds. CLEAN. HE WAS IN THE MILITARY AND TESTED. So quit being jealous negative nancies and let the guy have his glory
I have a question: when one tries to break a record, can the lifter go for the record aftern warmup. Or he has to move the weights up graduately like Rock 560, 580, 600????
FYI --this is purely insane raw strength. just notice this is a drug free federation, and at 242lbs bodyweight he benches 600lbs with NO wrist wraps, no belt, feet FLAT on the floor, LONG pause, and he basically slingshots the weight down right after the handoff with control. dam
God Bless you brother. A raw & drug free lift like this is awesome & furthermore, it's an inspiration to all of us who aspire to such strength through natural good ol' fashioned hard work ! Keep it up and may the Lord show you favor brother.
@ARGUMENTS4FUN Don't pull this bodyweight nonsense on me. If you believe he can't lift more with higher bodyweight than eat more. What matters more is his size. If you're 5'6' midget with T-Rex arms than you're OK. If you're 6'8" with arms as long as people legs than you have a problem no matter how heavy you are.
Feb. 7th. he is competing in Rome, Ga. I will show you how much he benches in competition. I guarantee its at least more that 550. Oh yeah, he is 45, not 50.
And I agree with you, most people do have "uncles" like that. But mine is actually for real.
Oops...sorry, hit the wrong comment. I agree with you, some people don't take the time to even bother posting anything decent. Thanks for your comment.
@Bigmike229 of for fuck sake. its a sanctioned meet. im sure the judges, staff and competitors who loaded and verified the bar are in a better position to say how much it is than some wanker on youtube who thinks hes really clever. shut the fuck up.
Rock Lewis is simply amazing! One of the greatest benchers ever, especially considering that he is raw and drug free...tested clean multiple times. Does anyone have any video of the raw 600# bench press that he did in Wilmington while weighing only 229#? I'd love to see that one! When is Rock competing again?
jus because u test positive dont mean shit thats still impressive i aint gone say its now but u cant convince me he hasnt done at least one cycle drugs or not thats still a good lift
You're right that he does not receive the weight at arm's length, but I think the clear long pause prior to the actual lift more than makes up for the soft handoff. The handoff at arms length is supposed to show the judge what the locked out position looks like for each lifter. You have a vaild point though.
Real fighter`s heart in that effort. One of only 3 men in 4 decades of powerlifting history to have done 600 at 242 raw. How does it feel to belong to the kings?
wonderful effort! Was this pat casey's record he beat?? as far as i know pat casey is the only man to bench 600lb raw and drug free done back in the 1960's!!
Pat Casey's record ended up being 615. It has been broken raw and drug free several times since then. Most would consider the most legitimate heaviest raw and drug free bench press to be 711. It was done by James Henderson (from Florida) in 1997 in an event sanctioned by the International Powerlifting Federation via the United States Powerlifting Federation.
@warpeha Pat Casey's record ended up being 640. It has been done in Saturday June 17, 1967 Los Angeles Powerlift YMCA. Bodyweight 339. The best Casey's gym lift done in 1967 was 670 pounds spotted by Olympic gold medalist in shot put at 67'10" from 1964 and bronze in 1960. His name was Dallas Long. After this benchpress he performed 6 seated presses with 190 dummbells in each hand. Also 525 20" close grip benchpress for 5 reps. The bar was handed to him on his chest.
600 lb. pause rep....post some videos of your imaginary uncles doing this!!! please

how about 2-100's, 1-45, 1-25, the chips and the clamps per side =600lbs. "470 still pretty DECENT though."
I usually never post, but I love this sport and have trouble reading some of this crap.

That is 470 lbs. (Four 45s, a 25, a 2 1/2 and a 5 lb. clamp per side) Still pretty decent though.
Bigmike229 3 years ago
Each side: two 100's, one 45, one 25, one 2.5, one 5lb collar. Multiply all that by 2 and add the 45lb bar and you get 600lbs.

A soft handoff is a soft handoff. Impressive strength, but that shouldn't have been even remotely valid. Screw "soft", that was a liquid handoff.
afulop 4 years ago
You're right, but the pause was long enough that I think the handoff is basically irrelevant. But you're right, this violates 100%RAW's rules.
