Fredrik Svensson's IPF World Record in benchpress (345,5 kg)

[TomasMales]

I can lift more with my bellend

[emilsalmela]

Fan va fint ! ;)

[ifkgbge]

Sweden power!

[SLISETV]

Rammstein, now thats workout music. Can't train without it.

[christopherjkane]

great bench press a lot of weight

[bomdigi1]

looked like his butt was off the bench

[thehandsomedevils]

det är ju för fan sinnessjukt att man kan bänka 345 kg?

[Eriikk82]

the ass should be in the bench and you ar not allowed to wearing a lifting siute. He can press 300 maximum in a real legal lift!

[BaboonBro]

50% of the ass shall be and is in the bench

and Fredde has done 353kg since and he will soon throw up 363. He is invited at Arnold's in March; in January he lifts at ER-Open in Rödby, DK.

[ofnair]

What about not allowed to wear a shirt? In Ipf it i s alloweed so he uses one. Stfu and gtfo.

[buffbeno]

LOL the way this guy psychs himself up LOL GRAAAAA

[gatraw]

anyone else notice his thighs came of the bench? 1:22

[jmcwhorter6087]

Sure, power lifters use an extreme arch like that.

[gatraw]

not the arch, his ass came of the bench, but thats ok only one of the judges noticed,

[BaboonBro]

Go Fredde go!

This is Art!

[lucianonicacio]

what's name the song?! please

[Shevaigor]

Ramstein - Du Hast

[BaboonBro]

@lucianonicacio Du Hast with Rammstein?

[atleten1]

the raw bench world record of 330 kg or something like that is the most impressive! Not to say this is not impressive.

[james87876]

This is a IPF bench press; they drug test you, where-as the below WPC records of 455 something they dont drug test and benchers can where slightly different gear to help increase the lift. As it stands this is a massive bench press!!!

[Vacobra]

big deal you steroid idiot!

[DoWorkSon1313]

first of all IPF drugtests, and if this was the world record at the time there's no question to whether he was pissing in a cup afterward.  and second, i'll guarantee you that even if YOU started roiding you would never come close to hitting the mark this guy just put up without them

[dijaystar]

LMAO! This lift is very very heavy, but this record is beaten several times now!

I have heard the bench press record is now 455kg or something!

[ofnair]

It's an old video.

[ofnair]

And btw, it's 353,5, swedish Johnny Wahlqvist have attempted 355 once, and are now aiming to get it.

[dijaystar]

You have totaly wrong! The world record in bench press is about 455kg... Take and do some reacsearch before u start to post your facts!

[ofnair]

Now ihave to own you very hard... The benchpress record in the the three layer plyshirt with open back, bellybenching, touch and go drug using federation Wpc is around 480...

[captainpish]

all of these so called record attempts are being done using bench vests that increase youre strength by upto 20%. its a fucking joke.

[Reaps88]

And all the records that were set before that. were set using benchshirts. Stop crying and start lifting. Retard

[andyk516]

ur a fucking retard captainpish

20% pay attention in math class next time, if my max bench was ~200, ur saying if I where a bench vest can now put up 240, yeah.... nice try dickwad, l2math

[weightlifter265]

dude it depends on the brand how many layers and what its made of

[andyk516]

that's my point, but to just come out and say 20% is the increase in weight like this kid did isn't right.

[dimonalmaty]

actually these vestes help you to lift twice as much weight as u normally can!!!

[latonistheshit]

no.

it's individually, but about 50kg in the higher weightclasses i guess is normal, more for some and less for some. but you don't lift twice as much. if that was the case this lifter would press about 170kg raw, he presses way over 200kg raw.

[thepowerlifter2601]

Han løfter røven!!

[CatoWadel]

Måske dommeren har tatt en lille en. Sgu.

[cascarrabias80]

fuck pork!

[kimsalby]

It was a lift in an IPF championchip. (Scandinavian Championships 2006). It was also a world record at the time.

[BTBugger]

It would've been a no lift in IPF Championship because he lifted his backside off the bench during the press. A good lift all the same :)

[ofnair]

Earlier, this was the IPF worldrecord. SO FAIL!

[ofnair]

En av Sveriges stora idrottstoltheter, både det specifika lyftet och lyftaren.

[ibriqi]

i train at the same gym as him ^^ GO SAK!!!

[ImaTWAZZOCK]

I dont think these results should stand ..I think you should have to do 2 presses to show you can press the weight from all positions.

[Macheaz]

not this guy :P

[Macheaz]

haha ppl always say steroids to ppl who u actually can see is clean! u take steroids to gow bigger like ronnie coleman thats a steroid offer -.-

[ShjEjjK]

Haha, a steroid OFFER?!!

[ofnair]

Ännu finns det hopp för SVerige!

[Brillo15]

enough steroids?

[hampuspappa]

No steroids there... Work with him and he has always been strong...

[LoTTuZ]

Yay! arguing on the youtube is the shit!... Here you find the best and smartest debaters around the globe!

[qewr4231]

what year was this and what weight class does this lifter lift in?  Superheavyweight? 125+ kgs??

[kimsalby]

It was made on May 6th. 2006 in Bergen, Norway. He lifts in 125 kg+, and it is still the world record in Benchpress (IPF).

[kimsalby]

Sorry!

Brian Siders has made 352,5 kg in Scranton, USA, on december 2 th. 2007. Thats the new record!

[ipopowerlifting]

thats an amazing lift, but i wouldnt have given it to him, as his ass lifted of the bench, and im guessing thats why you got one red light, but at the end of the day it was a good lift cause you got 2 whites so well done

[qewr4231]

arching to lift more/shorten the distance?

[walterkurda]

no lift !

[xbox690]

what y no lift

[huffo3]

Nordens bäste Styrkelyftare!

[kryshtal]

what does this prove ? i bet he would die after running one mile!

[qewr4231]

lol when do powerlifters ever run?

[kryshtal]

also true

[steniz80]

100 times stronger then you ashole!

[qewr4231]

No need to get angry.

[qewr4231]

My comment was not meant as an insult. Powerlifting does take a toll on the body though. When I was training for bench press contests every meal was an all I could eat buffet of protein and meat. It's great to be big and strong; but the heart and lungs need conditioning as well. I can remember Doyle Kennady winning IPF championships and deadlifting over 900 lbs. . . however he had his first heart attack at age 39.

[steniz80]

you don,t know the exact cause of his heart attack! the death-rate among soccer players and other condition sports is much higher anyway!

[qewr4231]

You make think, "Hey that won't ever happen to me I can squat over 900 pounds, I am a beast" but think again. You are only as strong as your weakest link and if your cardiovascular health is that weak link then you are setting yourself for some big trouble down the road. I guarantee it! Just look at all the different powerlifters that you see dying at a young age.

[qewr4231]

All you have to do is look at many of the different issues of PLUSA to see a dedication of different lifters that passed way before their time.

[steniz80]

there is a lot to discuss about this! but it,s just getting egocentric now! well however svensson is a strong lifter and i,m sure you are a good runner! have a nice weekend mr cardiovascular lol!(i will have fun with my stairmaster today lol lol)

[qewr4231]

My intention was not to be egocentric or come across angry. Don't lump me in with kryshtal. All I am saying is that powerlifters need to train their hearts and lungs as well and eat better. I know powerlifters that have an all you can eat buffet 5 times a day and eat all kinds of high fat foods. Svensson is strong; no argument there.

[sgt7]

some people take advice, others learn the hard way- from experience

[steniz80]

and my comment where not for you it where for the other guy!

[steniz80]

you are just a jealous pathetic idiot!

[kryshtal]

Conclusion:

It was a cool argument with no affect on anything! haha

[qewr4231]

My goal is not to make fun of powerlifters. Obviously track and field and powerlifting are two completely different sports. I am not saying Fredrik Svensson is weak. Svensson is strong; very stong. No argument there. I'm not advocating hours and hours of cardio. Just know from experience that the heart and lungs need some exercise as well. I have seen what happens to powerlifters that don't eat well and do no cardio; heart attacks, strokes, etc.

[AusJD]

YAAAHHHHH .... YAAHHHHH

[austinjoshcodyeric1]

Its me again i do 220lbs now atleast 5 times

[austinjoshcodyeric1]

Now its 215

[austinjoshcodyeric1]

Now i do 210lbs for oh 7 reps

[austinjoshcodyeric1]

Im 15 and I do 205lbs benchpress 7 times great work thoug

[bigrob1971]

I competed against him at this year's IPF world bench press championships and he's a very big, strong guy. He was warming up with something like 250kgs in his t-shirt before he went on.

[raikkonen85]

you can see his muscles, but there obviously there, hes what we call a fat freak of nature

[JohnFPoirier]

Ass off the bench!!!

[Platon7]

wetsuts it is for scuba diving :))))

[cohums]

fanaticx only american powerlifters have big uubermuscles, wich is pumped with steroids... all the other strongman is just strong without HUGE muscles...

[steniz80]

i guess he is bigger and stronger then you! *wink* *wink*

[FanatiCX]

that guy doesnt even have muscles wtf xD

[Newhaterising]

i hate fat fucks in wrist wraps, bench shirts, and listening to rammstein.whats he so angry about? and why does he have to be in a U shape to lift... id be surprised if he could bench 200 kg with a decent ROM. 5 inches isnt very far for a bench press.

[mvlahovic]

You are an idiot. This is true power. Poliester shirts are weak, this guy is a monster you imbecil.

[jobeauregard]

with all due respect...go ahead and reply with ur best lifts! and why would you want to bench with a flat back there is no stability...its obvious you have no respect for the sport of powerlifting and should probably never watch powerlifting videos again...you are full of disrespectful comments and its people like you that dont know what their talking about that our sport hasnt become mainstream and never will!

[abcmusic]

I keep hearing rumors about Joe Foley moving over to the IPF. If he does, then he will hold the world record, eh? What? 800 lbs.? We'll see.

[thul]

Those who were there say that the ass actually WERE off the bench.. not the lifters fault that the judges don't see it though.

[kimsalby]

Fredrik Svensson (Sweden) has the OFFICIAL world record in benchpress in the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF), and 345,5 kg is still the official record.

[diesel5355]

i thought Scot Mendelson held the record

[goheavy]

Scott Mendelson holds the world record in shw wpo, there in different federations, and weight clases. The Wpo is less strict of rules, and drug testing, the IPF is very strict on both.

[BeRimoR]

I wish I could bench 345kg with or with out my ass rasing from the bench. Only think I don't like about powerlifting is that they look so clamzy wearing those outfits! Lots of weight, though.

[amborle]

Failed? Hell no, it's according to regulations.

[700total]

His arse came a mile off the bench! FAILED LIFT! Load of shit!

[Zebelon1Hedlund]

Perhaps you should learn the rules of benchpressing before commenting this as a failure.

[700total]

I'm well aware of the rules of benching in all federations. Your arse can't come off the bench. Its a fail!

[serveruler]

nope, approved, 2-1 the top part of his as was in the bench at all times, this guy has a huge ass, and its hard to see from that camera angle.

[PeteTheMeat1983]

Nice.. Allways psych up to Rammstein, it never miss..
